Well, between all the potty/poop talk, a recipe for pork tenderloin, and a comment about church, I've lost quite a few Facebook fans and blog readers this week. Evidently I'm more offensive than originally thought!! #keepinitreal  This is where I'm at in life, and I love sharing it with you...good, bad, and ugly.  For those of you still here: thank you ...

I told some of you on Facebook that next week is my blog's birthday!  It's turning ONE!!  I am planning on doing a couple posts in the next week to highlight some of the highs and lows of the last year, to share some favorite recipes and to discuss how far I've come in terms of recipe creation, photography, etc..., how this blog has grown, and how my health has improved in the last 365 days :)  People get to my blog from a number of sources including Pinterest, Google, Facebook, Foodgawker, other blogs, my e ...

Well my friends, I did it again. (No oops about it). I created a masterpiece that you can customize to your specific liking: biscuit quiches. Similar to my many varieties of greek yogurt banana breads, I will continue to bake and create new varieties of these yummy breakfast beauties in the weeks to come!  After the inaugural Egg & Sweet Potato Biscuit Quiche that Dear Hubby declared to be the "best breakfast ...

I was a little worried about moving to the mountains for Babycakes' sake, because I wasn't sure she'd have very many friends or the same opportunities, or that she'd turn out "weird."  But as I said in the recent Home, Sweet Home post, she LOVES it here.  It is all so HER!  She loves snow. She loves bundling. She loves dirt AND wearing dresses. She loves meeting new people and introducing herself. And most of all, she loves exploring.  Even a trip to the mailbox is an adventure...AND a workout! ... Read more » about Dollhouses, Dump Trucks and {PB&J Muffins}

Someone asked me what I did for fun this past weekend. I answered, "We don't have fun anymore." A bit snarky. A bit true. Unless you call house projects and fixing things fun!  There is still so much to be done to settle in to our new house that the last thing we can think about is fun. On that note, during the "free hours"      I normally would have to work on new recipe development, cooking, photographing beautiful food for the blog, etc... I am instead ...

Ahhhhhhhh, the holidays. So much fun. So much baking. So many parties. So many cute Pinterest ideas. So much shopping. So much stress.  I guess you could say I have a love/hate relationship with the holiday season. So, I have set out to make your holiday party a little easier, a little healthier, and a lot more fun with these mini pie bites ----->  If you've spent much time on my blog, you know I'm not much of a dessert person. ...

It's been a loooooooooong week my friends. In the moments when we should have been filled with joy and excitement after finally going under contract on a new mountain house (remember what happened to the first one?), we received the news that my father-in-law had a major heart attack and was being rushed to the hospital for immediate surgery.  My FIL, barely 58, had a total blockage of his left anterior artery ...

Hi friends! I wanted to let you know that this will be my last post for the week, as I really want to unplug and enjoy time with family... you know, Babycakes...Dear Hubby...my inlaws. And I'm sure you will be spending more time focusing on your own families and food and just being together rather than reading blogs or looking for new recipes :)  I found this saying/photo on Pinterest -----> and just love it! ...

Eeeeeek!  As promised, I have my first v-log (video log) for you today.  I'm getting soooooooo technologically advanced.  I love how it feels a bit more personal hearing my voice than just reading the words I write.  Today's video is an intro to the whole video "thang", an explanation of the upcoming holiday baking I'm working on, a slight confession, and my weight-loss plan for the holidays. ...

This is the last day in the healthier Thanksgiving series that I embarked on this week.  It sure was fun to create all these new healthy dishes for you and your families to enjoy!  Like I said at the beginning, you don't have to use all of them, but just subbing in one of these healthier versions instead of the traditional will help you not to overdo it on Turkey-day :)  I'd love to hear which ones you actually cook, so be sure to email me or leave a comment afterwards!  Before making this dish, I felt as though green bean casserole was only invited to the big meal because of its gr ...
