One meal in my house that I make more than any other meal is spaghetti. It's a universal favorite; my kids love it because it's tasty and fun and my husband loves it because he's a creature of comfort. I love it because I know that my family will devour it and ask for more, and it's easy to make! However, instead of preparing the good ol' classic spaghetti I've decided to switch things up a bit with this classic comfort food. While I do love tradition, sometimes I prefer to make some changes and … [Read more...]
Quick & Easy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl
When I first started my little corner on the internet almost 4 years ago, I often shared easy dinners for families. To this date, a few of those are still the recipes that are heavily visited on this site. It's no wonder, no matter how many meals I make or how many recipes I've added to my arsenal, sometimes I'm still clueless of what to make for dinner. Even folks that don't cook at home have a hard time choosing where to eat dinner at, so of course figuring out what to make is always going … [Read more...]
Quick Pan-Fried Tilapia
I feel as though I've been in a bit of a cooking slump lately. My family has all been so busy with their own things that we don't get to sit down for dinner together as much as before.

However, there's always one of my "old faithful" recipes that I make when it appears everyone will be available to eat together. I make this super … [Read more...]

Quick Recipe Ideas: Finger Foods for Dinner
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. As always, all opinions are mine alone. #WeekNightHero #CollectiveBias Years ago, in my single mom days, Campbell's soups were my mealtime lifesavers. I loved grabbing a can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup and essentially making the recipe on the back of the can. All you needed was some chicken, rice and cheese and you had a super easy meal that looked more complicated than it was. It was perfect for … [Read more...]
Simply Delicious Baked Boneless Chicken Breast
Picture this: It's a busy night in the middle of the week. You've just picked up the kids from school, they are doing their homework and your spouse is running late after work. One (or more) of the kids has to be dropped off at football/baseball/soccer/wrestling/cheer/dance practice (take your pick) and there's nothing much in the fridge to cook that takes 30 minutes or less. You just see that bag of chicken that you took out to defrost a few days ago that needs to be cooked, but you're not sure … [Read more...]

Avocado, Kiwi & Pomegranate Salad with Blackberry-Lime Dressing
There's one thing that I truly love, and that's a good salad. That might surprise you since I share so many sweets and comfort foods, but it's true. I'm a salad girl, I could live off of it. There's so many ways to create a perfect salad. I love so many vegetables and I live for colorful dishes and meals. With such a variety of ways to make a salad, sometimes I just throw them together without even thinking. One day a few weeks ago I had a few different types of fruit and nothing in … [Read more...]
