Many, many thanks to a friend for making this cucumber salad for us during a summer play date and for sharing the recipe. It is delicious and so easy. I will have to admit I’ve made about three batches of it in the last few weeks. It’s the perfect summer side dish. Save Print Cucumber

If you have been in a Kroger over the past few weeks and have NOT noticed the Taste Of Mexico displays, you must have gone in with your eyes closed! Kroger has been celebrating the Taste Of Mexico this month with special events, recipes and tastings within the store. We tried out a few new

Cucumber Basil Pepino

Remember that yummy Mojito recipe I shared in the past? Well, those same friends just introduced us to the Pepino. And YUM! This is another fabulous summer cocktail. So many thanks to them for sharing their recipes with us. We attended a Lobsta Bake at our pool last night and I decide to bring a

Chipotle Appetizer

Chipotle Appetizer

Sometimes you need a quick and easy appetizer. And sometimes you just don’t have the time to throw it together yourself. BUT you want something a little more than the normal chips and jar of dip. When a friend brought this to the pool the other night for an appetizer potluck, we declared her a

Oven Roasted Red Potatoes

Oven Roasted Red Potatoes

When I first moved into our neighborhood my neighbor taught me the secret to these yummy potatoes that were always a hit as a side dish…and super easy as well. For years I’ve been making these with olive oil and Lipton soup packets (which you can still do). I think I first posted this recipe

If you’ve followed along this week you know that we ate everything peanuts/peanut butter on Saturday night. The dessert was definitely not healthy one bit. It was rich and creamy and chocolaty and full of bites of peanut butter goodness. And I must thank The Girl Who Ate Everything for this recipe. The great thing

During all of this crazy winter weather, I will confess we’ve watched a bit more television than normal to break up the days. However, we have also been watching more and more cooking shows. The kids love to watch the different recipes come together in front of their eyes. These Apple Hand Pies were actually

Blueberry Breakfast Cake

Yum, yum, yum!  And you can make the batter ahead of time…see below.  I originally found this recipe on Pinterest which led me HERE.  I followed the recipe pretty closely with a few minor changes.  I didn’t have a lemon so I left that out and I also didn’t have kosher salt so just used plain

Dinners on the Go

Dinners on the Go

Do you suffer from Dinner-on-the-Go?!? Thanks to Stella’s soccer schedule, there are 1-2 nights a week when we are at the soccer field for dinner.  Stella usually eats in the car on the way there… But I make the other two wait until we arrive at the field.  Eating dinner keeps them occupied for at
