  • Granowenda :: The Best Chewy Granola

    My 2 year old, Anna Grace, has this thing about pronunciation. For example, her favorite princess is Cinderenda. Most people know her as Cinderella. One of her favorite snacks is granowenda – aka granola. This is our favorite granowenda recipe. It bakes up chewy, flavorful, and sweet but the only sweeteners in it are honey…

  • Fruity Pizza

    Fruity Pizza

    What do you think about this? O my. Yes, it was tasty. I do love pizza – last week we had pizza for dinner (homemade crust topped with garlic white sauce, chicken, olives, mozzarella & oregano) and then this fruit pizza for dessert. One can never eat too much pizza. Try this recipe and I’ll prove it…

  • Shrimp & Avocado Salad

    Shrimp & Avocado Salad

    How many of you like using your oven in the summer? Not me! I don’ t like being hot unless there’s a big body of water nearby. That’s one of the reasons I love this salad. It qualifies as a good meal for my hubby because there’s meat on it. But it’s a good meal…

  • Feed the Babe

    Feed the Babe

    9 bananas. 26 zucchini. 15 pounds of sweet potatoes. Cooking for a large crowd? Nope. just my son. Did I mention that he’s only 6 months? Wow. He’s a big eater. And he definitely doesn’t get that from his Daddy. See this pile of stuff? Here’s another angle for ya: I made all that last…

  • Easter Food: Solved

    In case you’re still looking for some ideas of food to serve on Easter, I’ve gotcha covered. Food is certainly not the most important part of Easter. Not by a long shot. However, I love to have special foods to celebrate special days. It just makes it more … {can I say it again?} special.…

  • Sanity Saver (Kitchen Edition)

    Sanity Saver (Kitchen Edition)

    One of my goals for 2011 was to organize my recipes. It never happened. I even had this nice binder to organize them…but I never did it. That’s because I knew it would be a monstrous task to go through all my recipes. So I just never did it. However, meal planning started taking longer…

  • Hellooooooo pumpkin season!

    Hellooooooo pumpkin season!

    I love fall. I am so glad it is FINALLY fall here and it’s even getting colder here in North Carolina. LOVE that. There’s no way I can narrow my list down to my favorite thing about fall, but the scents of fall come pretty close to the top of the list. All those warm, yummy…
