stay in for this favorite…fajitas
The Hubby has started cross fit in the last couple of months…yes I said The Hubby is doing cross fit. Now just to be clear, I am not doing cross fit The Hubby is doing cross fit and I am so, so proud of him. He has been so committed and goes at 6:00 AM, 3 days a week and in turn I have been trying to feed him a little better (with a few indulgences here and there). One of the things The Hubby has been really craving and needing is protein and I think he could eat grilled meat 6 times a day, and especially fajitas. He has…

a berry muffin morning is a Spring must
Spring is in full swing in my part of the world and I cannot get enough of all the yummy that comes with Spring. Every time I walk into the produce area of my local grocery stores and farmers markets I am overwhelmed by all the beautiful veggies & fruits. I am especially in love with all the berry goodness!! There are raspberries, blueberries, blackberries and strawberries EVERYWHERE and they look so, so good. I love all the berry varieties but when I was in the grocery store not too long ago they had a combo of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries that were almost screaming my name (ok they were…

chicken + grilled cheese = perfect sandwich
One of my most very favorite things to eat in the whole world is a sandwich and a grilled cheese is at the top of the list. OK, I know that sounds a little simple from a “food blogger” but I LOVE a grilled cheese sandwich. There is something so yummy to my tummy about a crunchy buttered bread with ooey gooey cheese…and when you add other yummy stuff to that combo it only gets better. Last week I made one of the most delicious grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had and it was all by accident…I just love it when that happens. So it all started with some thawed…

cornbread that is super cute and sweet
Cornbread is one of those things that I have 1000 recipes for (kinda like brownies) but I just can’t get enough of them. Each one is just a little different, making each one super special in its own right. Over time I have tried so many recipes, some with buttermilk, some without, some with cheese, some without but our favorites is always the ones with honey…we love us some sweet cornbread. We have also determined that we love cornbreads made like muffins…I mean it is just cute to have little cornbread muffins on the table, but this recipe would work great baked in a skillet or in a pan. For this latest…

at home pork that is so, so good
I don’t know about you but one of the hardest things to eat out, when you are trying to eat good, is Chinese food. It can be loaded with tons of sodium, hidden calories and fat all the while being bathed in delicious sauces that make you want to keep eating. The Hubby loves chinese food so I have been on a mission to find some lighter options, that can be made quickly but still with all of his favorite flavors…trust me this has been a challenge for sure. I have had some success in the past…I made this skinny stir fry that The Hubby loved but he kept asking me…

quick, easy and salmon
I don’t know about you but my schedule is so crazy right now. There are some days that I don’t get home until super late and I am hungry and The Hubby is super hungry. To be honest I just don’t want to take a ton of time to fix dinner and especially clean-up. On these nights a pan dinner is a perfect go to option. One pan and done I have done some one pan pasta dinners, one pan chicken dinners but this one pan salmon dinner is so good. It is not only good it is easy and loaded with veggies. This well rounded dinner is low in fat…

Vanilla & Fudge Bundt Cake
It is no secret that I love me some bundt cake. Not only do I love it but I also make it a lot. I have made a chocolate version, a salted caramel version, a butter version, even a flan version (among a few others) but none of them are as special as this vanilla & fudge bundt cake. I remember seeing this cake one time at a church pot luck many, many years ago but honestly had not thought about it until just recently. We were having a little family dinner and I wanted to make something special that I had not made before so I went searching and then…

a mac-n-cheese treat for all ages…
Comfort food is always a treat and when we were growing up mac-n-cheese & sausage was a a treat for sure. Back then my dad was the master of mac-n-cheese. He would make it on the stovetop with noodles, velveeta and cheese and we thought this was the best mac-n-cheese EVER. We loved how creamy it was and how cheesy it was…even better my dad would grill up some link sausage and it was a perfect dinner. As I have grown up my taste have changed some but mac-n-cheese is still a favorite for me…and when paired with sausage it is still a treat. To make it a little more…

quick, skinny and oh so good fajitas
I have a confession (one I have made several times before, but it probably needs to be made again) I LOVE MEXICAN FOOD! I am not overly picky…I love tacos, burritos, enchiladas but I especially love fajitas! I love that you get all the yummies that Mexican food has to offer but without a lot of the calories and fat of some other options (such as tacos, burritos or enchiladas). You can have fajitas made with beef, shrimp, chicken or just veggies…all of which are good but when I decided to do a quick one pan fajita skillet at home I knew I wanted to use chicken as it…

no more ranch packets needed
What is your favorite salad dressing? Are you Italian all the way? Are you a thousand island fan? Maybe blue cheese? Even better are you a fan of the great Caesar? For me…I am a fan of all listed but my favorite go to is the good ole standby…ranch. There is just something so comforting about this good ole standby especially when its all homemade!! Not only do I like it for ranch dressing but I am also a fan of it for dips, as a seasoning…really in any way possible. I have been known to use it on chicken or pork chops to add some herby goodness and also on some…
