Cranberry Pecan Pie Crust Leaves
Forgive me! This looks more like something for Thanksgiving, but it looked really good. My favorite part about making a pie is the leftover dough. I usually just sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and roll it into a log and cut it. Mini cinnamon bites, yum. I think sometimes we enjoy them more than the pie itself. Who says you … Read More ...

Mexican Fried Rice
We love having rice with chili, beef stew and other meals. What to do with the leftover rice? Although with a rice cooker, we are able to keep the rice warm for an additional day. This will be the perfect solution if there is still some leftover that has to go in the fridge.

Kung Pao Chicken (Paleo)
Our traditional Chinese nights are New Year’s Eve and whenever my husband is out of town. It can be costly and really isn’t healthy. Which is why we only have it a few times a year. This could change up how many times we have Chinese now. Although, I will still order out on New Year’s Eve.

How To Make Chocolate Strawberry Shortcake
It might be late for this, but the best thing about shortcakes is that you can use the berries in season. Right now I’m thinking of making this with blueberries and raspberries. If you are able to find good strawberries in the stores, that works too. We aren’t as lucky in the Northeast. I’m also picky about my fruit.

Just remind them they are not allowed … Read More ...
Caramel Apple Smoothie
The only problem with being healthy, you cut back or eliminate the sweets all together. I believe it’s okay to indulge occasionally. This time of year, I start to bake and I love snacking on apples and caramel sauce. Most of the time I will eat apples and peanut butter, but when you need that sweet kick. This smoothie is … Read More ...
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Bump up the cinnamon roll with some pumpkin. I’m embracing the early pumpkin recipes and might have to give pumpkin another try. I don’t like pumpkin, but maybe adding some pumpkin to cinnamon rolls might help me ease into the flavor. Great additional vitamins to make the cinnamon roll a little healthier and this recipe is actually called skinny pumpkin … Read More ...

It amazes me how busy we get when school gets going. We were busy before, but school seems to add a new level with sports, extra curricular activities and the homework. I admit there are days, I just go to the store and get a rotisserie chicken and make a salad. I’m big on the semi-homemade movement. The rotisserie chicken … Read More ...
