See how to put together an easy DIY Hello Kitty Birthday party your kids will love!When it was time to decide what kind of cake to make for The Short One's second birthday, I chose Hello Kitty. As you know, I am a mom of two boys. It's possible that we could have a third child, and it's possible that child could be a girl. It's also possible that this was my last chance to throw a Hello Kitty party without the kids saying it's too girly.I've mentioned before that I'm not great at cake ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #13 – The Short One Is Growing.
This was a big week: The Short One started preschool! I didn't know how that would go since he is just barely two, and I have never really left him with anyone except The Pants. He tries to sneak into The Tall One's first grade class on an almost daily basis though, so I suspected that he was ready for some sort of school of his own. Boy, was I right. He didn't let out so much as a whimper when I said goodbye on his first day, and he was delighted to go back on the next school day. It is ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #12 – Tasty Meals in under 30 Minutes!
Hello, Fellow Chefs. I hope you have all had an enjoyable week. Sadly, we have had a couple tragic losses within our elementary school community recently, and that has made me try to appreciate my family even more than usual lately. When I am reminded how fragile life can be, it really makes me want to hug my loved ones a little tighter and try even harder to keep them happy and safe. On a happier subject, The Short One is going to be starting school next week! He will only be there two ... continue reading...
Jalapeño Popper Burgers
Spice up your dinner with these fun, stuffed Jalapeño Popper Burgers! Normally when I make burgers, I kind of wing it. I throw in some soy sauce or onion soup mix or whatever I happen to grab. This time, I wanted to try something a little more exciting, and the result was mighty tasty. These Jalapeño Popper Burgers are stuffed with Mexican cheese and pickled jalapeño peppers. They were definitely worth the little extra work to stuff them! If the kids (or the adults!) in your family ... continue reading...
Mounds Bar Cookies
This post was not supposed to be about Mounds Bar cookies. This was supposed to be about Robin's Egg cookies. You know, those colorful malted-milk ball eggs sold at Easter time? Well, I made said cookies, and I didn't think they were good enough to share the recipe. The candy coating did weird things in the oven, and the malted milk part got really hard and chewy, but not the good kind of chewy. OK, fine. No Robin's Egg cookies. Then how about Whoppers cookies? Still malted milk balls, but ... continue reading...
Creamy Ranch Chicken Pasta
Do you love Ranch and chicken alfredo? Then this Creamy Ranch Chicken Pasta is a dream come true! My love of ranch flavor used to be limited to dunking potato chips into dip made with store-bought ranch dressing mix and sour cream, and that was a rare treat. I think it was when I tried homemade buttermilk ranch dressing mix from this recipe at Robyn's View that I started to expand my ranchy horizons. The mix is so easy to make, and you can do so much with it! One of my fav ranch ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #11: Grocery Lists Are Back!
Update 5/30/2013: As much as I like Feastie, I have removed the Feastie Bar from my sidebar for now because people just weren't using it. My recipes now feature a "Save" button that adds ingredients to your Ziplist shopping list. This seems to be a more popular service at this time, but I still support the outstanding work that Feastie is doing to index recipes and promote food bloggers!Have you ever seen this Feastie badge in my right sidebar and wondered what it is? Feastie is a searchable ... continue reading...
Cheesy Asparagus and Potato Casserole
This satisfying Cheesy Asparagus and Potato Casserole is comforting like macaroni and cheese (you know, except with vegetables). If you or someone you love thinks vegetables are boring or yucky, this Cheesy Asparagus and Potato Casserole recipe could change their mind. As The Pants said upon trying this dish, "It tastes like cheese, and that's all it takes for me." You could add other veggies too, or even add diced ham or chicken to make this a complete meal! It's important to cut the potatoes ... continue reading...
Best Cabbage Roll Casserole
Whether you need a quick dinner or have a couple hours to spare, my favorite Cabbage Roll Casserole is the recipe for you! You can make it in 30 minutes with white rice or low and slow with brown rice. Some dinners are pretty, and some are fun. Some are less than glamorous but still wonderfully tasty. No one slaps high fives when they hear Cabbage Roll Casserole is for dinner, but this casserole smells amazing and tastes delicious! I have made this with the slow cooking brown ... continue reading...
Irresistible Cheesy Pesto Bread
If you are a garlic bread lover, brace yourself for this cheesy pesto bread recipe! I have been infatuated with a few cheesy garlic bread photos going around Pinterest lately. I love garlic bread on its own, and adding melty, stretchy cheese to the party sounds like bread heaven. One version that looks particularly fabulous is Hasselback Garlic Cheesy Bread at Lauren's Latest. I would be delighted if someone served me this, but come on: I am far too weary to bake my own ... continue reading...
Easy Weekly Dinner Menu #10 – Rice Is Nice.
How has your week been? It has been a busy one for us. The Tall One is on Spring Break, and the kids and I are spending a few days away with family while The Pants stays home to work. Easter Sunday is also The Short One’s second birthday. As if sharing the day with a major holiday isn’t enough of a birthday downer, much of the day will be spent driving home. His birthday celebration will be postponed for a couple weeks so it gets the attention it deserves, and he won’t know the difference since ... continue reading...
Easy Cajun Jambalaya: A versatile one-dish recipe
This Easy Cajun Jambalaya is a refrigerator magnet! You will love this versatile and easy dinner recipe. I love this easy Cajun jambalaya because it’s such a catch-all dish. Do you have some leftover chicken to use up? Did you find a half-empty bag of shrimp in your freezer? Toss it all in! Pretty much any meats are welcome to the party, and you can add or substitute veggies too. Keep the rice and liquid proportions the same, and you can adjust the rest of the amounts to work with what you ... continue reading...
