Special thanks to Sprouts Farmers Market for sponsoring this very special football inspired recipe for a Red and Gold Flatbread Pizza! One of my favorite parts of the Fall season is that it's time for football. If you didn't know by now, my house is pretty devoted to this sport during this time of year. From watching our favorite professional teams to college games, heading out on Friday nights for our own boys' high school games or Saturday mornings for the youngest Harris player - football … [Read more...]
Ginger-Lemon Honey Roasted Carrots
Alright guys, today I come with a simple side dish that's (in my opinion) just perfect for the season. Have you ever tasted roasted carrots? Oh my, the first time I tried them I was smitten. They were just sooo good. I didn't know carrots could taste like that! Now, of course I love my carrots. I've served them on a platter for parties with some form of ranch dip, and of course I've cut them up and added them to a pan when making a roast or peeled them into strips to put in a salad. Carrots … [Read more...]
Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Beets and Carrots
Recently I discovered that Pompeian has a new product in their line up, the Coconut Oil Non-Stick Cooking Spray. Coconut oil has gotten pretty trendy over the last few years, and rightfully so. It has many nutritional benefits and is used in a lot of gluten free and vegan recipes. The Pompeian Coconut Oil Spray contains no propellants in the spray, only coconut oil. It also has a smoke point of 420 degrees, so you can use it in recipes that are cooked at a higher temperature than most. A lot of … [Read more...]
Skinnygirl Hummus Breakfast Toast
Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Skinnygirl. I received a product sample and a promotional item to facilitate my review. As always, all opinions are my own. For many, many years I was queen of the dips and chips. I loved a good salty snack dipped in salsa or some other form of cheesy dip, there's seriously nothing like it. And then I discovered hummus. Seriously, you guys, I couldn't get over how delicious it could be with such a variety of flavors and I … [Read more...]
Cheesy Roasted Potato Skins
When I was a little girl my family would celebrate each of our birthdays the same way each year. We would head over to TGI Friday's and the birthday girl or boy would get some embarrassing balloons tied to their hair. I could care less about the balloons, because going to TGI Fridays always meant one thing. I got to chow down on my favorite thing, potato skins. YUM. These days, not much has changed. I still love food and I have a healthy obsession for potato skins. They have to be made just … [Read more...]
Roasted & Stuffed Bell Peppers
When I was little I disliked anything to do with peppers. Chili peppers, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers. I wanted nothing to do with any of it. I also didn't like garlic or onion, and hated mustard.Isn't it crazy how things change? These days I use garlic and onion in everything, I prefer mustard to ketchup and love all peppers! I buy bell peppers every time I go to the store and I love when I find them on sale, like two for $1.00. I like them in every color, each color does taste just a bit … [Read more...]

Kicked-Up Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich with Spicy Mayonnaise
This past weekend was one of the hottest of the summer, so far. According to my weather app, temperatures will be nearing 110 degrees this week, just in time for the 4th of July holiday! Most people like to barbecue for the holiday, but with temperatures like that we just have to find some alternatives. Who wants to stand in the fiery heat over an open flame for hours? Not I, and definitely not my husband! So when I found out Save Mart Supermarket was having my favorite sale going on with their … [Read more...]
Roasted Garlic Hummus and Homemade Seasoned Pita Chips
Do your eating habits change with the arrival of the warmer seasons? I know mine do.Once October rolls around, I'm all about the comfort foods with creamy sauces, or the homemade muffins and breads. These are my favorite kinds of foods until February or March roll around, and then I'm loving salads and the more healthy stuff.Of course, I'm a sucker for a creamy sauce year round, but after about 6 months of winter comfort foods my body craves the good-for-you lighter-fare type of foods. These are … [Read more...]
Herb Seasoned Smashed Potatoes
OK friends, this is just one of those recipes that is super easy, and absolutely delicious. The kind where you proclaim, "That's it?!" after taking your baking sheet out of the oven.

Let's be honest here, I had a few friends that had dabbled in blogging, but I just didn't know what it really was, and didn't know how … [Read more...]
