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!

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 [...]
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 [...]
