  • Homemade Taco Seasoning

    Homemade Taco Seasoning

    We love Mexican food at our house! Hot & spicy is our thing. Even my 2 year old likes salsa. Major win. I used to pick up quite a few taco seasoning packets when I went grocery shopping. Then one day, I was making taco meat for some friends and realized I had no taco…

  • Ham-Bam

    Ham-Bam

    When I was little, I got on this kick where I started rhyming everything. It wasn’t just “Mom.” It was Mom-bom. And Joshy-squashy. Sarah-warah. Becky-wecky. (Funny – I think Dad got left out of the rhyming business. Dad-bad doesn’t go over so well. And Dad-wad? I must have known which boundaries not to cross.) You…

  • Grandma’s Best

    Grandma’s Best

    My Grandma always had some of the best food. Of course, there were always Oreos in the pig-shaped cookie jar, peppermint patties in the candy jar, and ice cream bars in the freezer. Sometimes there were ice cream bars in the shape of Mickey Mouse. And we could drink Orange soda and eat barbecue chips…

  • Greek Chicken Nachos

    Greek Chicken Nachos

    I’ve been on a chickpea kick lately. Just ask my husband. He’s been subjected to all sorts of variations of chickpea recipes in the past few months. It all started with some hummus I ordered at Zoe’s Kitchen. “Yum” only begins to describe it. I was pregnant at the time and thought about that hummus…

  • Now That’s Fishy

    Now That’s Fishy

    Last week when I was planning out my meals, I pulled a new recipe out of my fabulous recipe binder. (Have I told you how much I love that thing? And how much easier it makes my life? Oh yes, I have. Don’t get me started.) It was a recipe for fish sandwiches. I mentioned…

  • Bowls of Bread

    Bowls of Bread

      A little while ago I did an excellent thing. An excellent thing indeed. I made bread bowls. I had never made them before, but boyhowdy…I will certainly be makin’ them again. If you love soup, you have got to give this recipe a try. Especially now – during the winter months – there’s just…

  • Soup Season

    Soup Season

    Do you love this cold weather?I do – and soup is one of the reasons I love it. You know, you can eat soup on hot days. It still tastes good. But it doesn’t taste as good as if you ate it on a cold, blustery day. Here are 3 of my favorite soup recipes: Corn…

  • Bowties with Sausage & Tomato Cream Sauce – guest post from Just Laine

    Today’s post comes from Laine, who blogs over at it’s just Laine. She and I met recently and…well, I’ll let her explain… 🙂 ~~~ Hi, I’m Laine and I’m so thrilled to be visiting here at Brown Sugar Toast!  I had the privilege of meeting Christa this summer at our local “I Love Thrifting Day”…

  • Garlic White Sauce

    Garlic White Sauce

    Yesterday I cruelly showed you a picture of some amazing and glorious food without telling you what it was or how you could make it. I hope you’ve forgiven me by now. If not, just wait one moment and you will presently have a reason to forgive and forget. This ring a bell?   Ahh…

  • Mozzarella Pepperoni Bread

    Mozzarella Pepperoni Bread

    Say hello to one of the easiest entrees you’ve ever created: Does it look intimidating? O good. At least something I do looks impressive. 😉 haha – kidding! Yes, this really is easy. And cheesy And overall amazingly delicious: But wait. Did I say this was family-friendly? In fact, even my little girl got in…

  • Bacon-Cantaloupe Wraps

    Bacon-Cantaloupe Wraps

    Every once in a while, my hubby does something that seems kinda out of the ordinary. Not anything bad – just different and not something I would expect him to do. Before you start suspecting that it’s something horrid, allow me to explain: 🙂 Somehow I started getting Every Day with Rachael Ray mags for…

  • Quesadillas + Cucumber Salsa + Lemony Sour Cream

    Quesadillas + Cucumber Salsa + Lemony Sour Cream

    Summertime = fresh garden produce This past week, some friends gave us some yummy cucumbers from their garden. We love fresh cucumbers – cut into spears with a little salt sprinkled on them. Perfection. Not a big fan of those cucumber salads soaked in vinegar. I like them in their natural state best. However, we…
