Recipe Redux – Beef and Bean Taco Meat

This month’s Recipe Redux is Two For One. The idea being you cook once and eat twice. I do this all the time – finding ways to repurpose leftovers into another meal. My children are rather picky about eating leftovers so if I make extra of something, I have to find multiple ways of using […]

Top 13 Posts of 2013

The last day of the year, and what a year it has been. There are so many fun things on the horizon for 2014, and a new venture I can’t wait to tell you all about, though it will have to wait a little longer (sorry to be such a tease!). In the meantime, it […]

Recipe Redux: Slow Cooker Mediterranean Salmon

I really wasn’t sure I was going to take part in this month’s Recipe Redux as I knew I would be busy at the annual food and nutrition convention of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. However, when I saw the theme, The No-Casserole Crock Pot, I knew I couldn’t miss it. Those of you […]

Menu Plan Monday – October 7

This past week’s menu was taken from 365 Slow Cooker Suppers, a new cookbook by Stephanie O’Dea, who writes the wildly popular blog, A Year of Slow Cooking. The Creamy Pumpkin Pasta above was my favorite dish of the week.  To read more about the cookbook and the dishes I prepared last week, read my review […]

Cookbook Review: 365 Slow Cooker Suppers

I received a complimentary digital copy via NetGalley of 365 Slow Cooker Suppers by Stephanie O’Dea to review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.  I have discussed many times before my love of the slow cooker. I have 2 programmable ones, a 3.5 quart and a 6 quart. If you are a regular follower […]

Menu Plan Monday – September 30

I am a huge UGA football game. I grew up going to the games and most people assume I went to college there (I didn’t) though my father and husband did. I don’t go to the games nearly as often as I used to, especially after starting my family 5 years ago. But this past […]

  By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by National Honey Board and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. Honey is one of my favorite sweeteners. I talked about my love of honey in this post for my Honey Whole Wheat […]

Menu Plan Monday – March 4

Before I get to the food this past week, which there were some home run dishes, I wanted to share my wonderful news. I was honored by the Georgia Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics with the Distinguished Service to the Media Award. I was so excited to be presented with this award as I love […]

Menu Plan Monday – February 18

We are finally turning the corner of moving past all of the illnesses that have been plaguing us for weeks. At least I hope so. Poor e is still really congested and had another ear infection but it hasn’t slowed her down too much. We have also entered into the weeknight evening activity arena – […]

Recipe Redux – Cauliflower Celery Root Baked Potato Soup

The theme of this month’s Recipe Redux is A Trend in Every Pot – combining soup, perfect for this time of year, with at least one of ingredients from the predicted 2013 food trends. By the way, Janet Helm has a terrific summary of all of the 2013 food trends. I love soup, and you […]
