We’ve recently revamped the way our family eats. I’ve always thought we were relatively healthy, but together my husband and I decided we needed to take our approach to healthy eating a step further. We’ve almost totally eliminated refined sugars, gluten (my husband and my boys all have problems with gluten), and have doubled the [...]
My family and I try to eat healthy, but there are times when you just need a meal–fast. I pretty much loathe fast food burgers. They taste less than great and they make me feel nasty afterwards. I’ll take a loaded hoagie over a “burg” any day. It has been several years since I met [...]
I have a weakness, and it is called food. I just simply love it. And one of the biggest things that I love is pizza. I love to order a pizza, I love to make homemade pizza and yes I even love a cardboard frozen pizza. But as I have learned the hard way it [...]
Disclosure: I am a Hormel Extended Family blogger. As a HEF blogger I receive promotional items on occasion, no other compensation is provided. Easter dinner! I love the chaos that ensues when family gathers, the din of little cousins enjoying one another’s company (aka: running amok). This weekend we’re headed to Texas to celebrate [...]
Now that your basketball brackets are all filled out and March Madness is in full swing what better way is there to watch all the fun basketball games than to enjoy them with some yummy food! If any of you are having guests over for a big game or just sitting around the house with your spouse and [...]
Have you ever sat down and eaten an entire pint of ice cream? Well just this week my husband and I sat down to try out the new frozen dessert from Whole Fruit Sorbet and finished off a whole pint between the two of us! I couldn’t believe it! But once we opened the Mango Sorbet [...]
What do you think of that title? Sounds appetizing, eh? Yes, the potato is indeed a “tuberous stem”–a part of the nightshade family, actually. Did you know February is Idaho Potato Lovers month? I get a kick out of all the special food days and months there are in the year. National Ice Cream day, [...]
Does anyone remember “The Really Big Cooking Show” I went to back in November at Thanksgiving Point? Well, it was an event that featured cooking demonstrations, recipes, other culinary helps and giveaways. They had vendor booths featuring food, jewelry, kitchen products and more! I had so much fun that I just had to go again when I found [...]
For Christmas this year I received a popcorn popper and I was so excited. We have been married for over 7 years and have never owned one! I am always pining recipes that use popcorn and I can never make them, that is until now! So I was very excited to try out a new [...]
The cold months of winter. Don’t they make you just crave a blazing fire in the fireplace, a nice cozy blanket, and a bowl of warm soup? I’m always looking for delicious new recipes to try so I asked some of my blogger friends for their favorite soup recipes that they’ve made. These recipes are [...]
I have a confession. Neither my husband nor I are great gift givers. Come Valentines Day we always write each other cards or letters full of romantic sentiment. But when it comes to finding great gifts both of us seem to fall short. Well, except for that time almost three years ago when I gave [...]
Do you ever check out the recipes on the back of your food packaging? I don’t know where I’ve been all these years, but I just discovered the yumminess of Cake Mix cookies! If you haven’t tried them yet, they are a MUST! The Husband is a huge chocolate fan so the other day I [...]
I love soup. Especially in the winter time. I love how it just warms me to the bones and it is such a comfort food for me. And this potato soup recipe is one of my favorites. It is just so creamy and delicious and my husband and kids just devour it! So I thought [...]
