Every year, my street hosts a Progressive Dinner. Each course is covered by two families and one of those families hosts everyone on the street. Last night, we were in charge of hosting everyone for Soups and Salads. We needed something quick and easy to whip up for about30 people. This Crunchy Broccoli Salad definitely […]

I only have sweet potatoes at Thanksgiving, and usually laden with butter, brown sugar, marshmallows and pecans. Not so good for me, eh? I love the taste of sweet potatoes and while I had heard “they are good for you”, I never really knew why until I started researching for this post. My friend Wikipedia […]
One of my favorite things in life is one of the simplest: pizza. But I think I like my own better than the delivery kind and you can try it out for yourself and let me know what you think! The sauce is homemade, you use a yummy premade whole wheat crust, some fresh mozzerella […]

Tis the season for parties, fa la la la la la la la la! And these parties have lots of food, fa la la la la la la la la! We all know that with the holidays comes food and social gatherings and parties. It is super easy to lose control at parties, isn’t it? […]
Today, I post a recipe for Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins that has gotten me through so many situations, including the one this weekend in which I am doing my first half-iron distance triathlon, probably right now as we speak and as you read this! (I sure hope I’m doing well right now!) What did I have […]
I’m no cook, but I am trying my darndest to step out of my comfort zone in the kitchen. So, this week, I went crazy and cooked fish…THAT WASN’T TILAPIA! I KNOW!! Go me, right? O.K. Fine. So maybe that’s not that big of a deal to some of you, but to me it’s huge. […]
Happy Hump Day! I think that today is a great day for a fiesta! Why? Well, cause it’s cold out (here at least) and I need a pick me up. Plus? I’ve been craving fish tacos. This baby in my belly has a taste for spice, y’all. Let’s get cooking! Taste of the Sisterhood is […]
I hate to say it, but I have to admit that I like the taste of the small hamburgers at MacDonald’s. I know, I know- bad me but I didn’t say that I actually eat them hardly ever. I’m not sure what it is about those small, little burgers but they taste so yummy (and […]
Whose is it??? Hmmmmm…. Well, it has something to do with Butternut Squash and a stew and if you’re recognizing it already, then it’s probably you, DEBRA! So thank you for sending it in!! First off, this month’s project is to try at least one recipe a week from our Taste of the Sisterhood feature, […]
I had originally gotten this recipe from my friend Megan who loves to cook, but had totally forgotten about it until I re-read a post from Mel about her 5K experience from last year, which just so happened to include this recipe. I made it last week and three out of the four kids loved […]
I’m going to be honest here, I’ve posted this recipe before, but it really is one of my favorite Sunday dishes (I eat dinner with my parents every Sunday) and I thought it’s worth posting again. Add a side like grilled veggies and you have the perfect Sunday supper. Modifications: Sometimes I have a hard […]
How do you round out the perfect hangover brunch? With a perfect Bloody Mary of course! Because: I am reviewing the delicious array of V8 juices this week and decided that a V8 cocktail would be a great way to tie the two in and… And because I’ve never even had a bloody mary before and… […]
