Creamy Green Chili Soup

Soup is the easiest and in my opinion the yummiest dinner!  I love that I can throw everything and anything into one pot and you get your protein and vegetables in one bite!

Cream cheese works perfectly in this soup- it adds a nice coolness to the heat from the green chilies.

Insanely Good Frosting

I have learned something about myself today.... I can never have enough sugar in one bite.

Grandma's Sugar Cookies

Making cookies is my go to activity with my son when boredom hits.   (which happens more often than is healthy).

Lemon Chicken Soup

Our family has been sick with colds for the past two weeks and I was in desperate need of a warm chicken soup.  Of course I couldn't just make the normal chicken noodle-  so I made my own variation which turned out to be my favorite variation!

Aebleskiver (Danish Pancakes)

Aebleskivers...or yummy donut balls!

Monte Cristo Casserole

April Fools Day came too fast this year, therefore the traditional prank was not planed and executed.  So I decided to make a quick dinner that had a sweet surprise in it.

Cheesy Burger Soup

We love everything about this soup... except its name.   The original title was Cheeseburger Soup- every time I read the name it reminded of a greasy fast food hamburger, which then makes me think...ugh.  So I changed the name into really the same name but some how I feel better about the separation of cheese and burger.

Homemade "Peanut butter" Candy

I love making homemade candy-  and Easter is my second favorite holiday because of the yummy treats. (Christmas is when the mother load of goodies are made in my kitchen).

Egg Free Pancakes

As soon as we found out our boy had food allergies to tree nuts and eggs,  I was on the hunt for safe recipes for him.   I came across this amazing food blog that has tons of yummy allergy friendly recipes!

Favorite Meat Marinade

I call this our "meat marinade"  because it's delicious with chicken or steak.  One way to add lots of flavor and create juicy tender meat is by marinading.  This recipe is a combination of flavors that we love-  You can customize the herbs to match your taste.

Smokey Sweet Chili

This is a smokey sweet vegetarian chili- hence the name.  I love throwing this in the crock pot without dirtying too many dishes!

Homemade Play Dough

There are not too many things more satisfying for a toddler to smash a perfectly round ball of dough  between his or her hands.

Healthy Protein Cookies

This is our favorite way to get an extra punch of protein! With a mix of oats, peanut butter (or soy butter), flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and cranberries they are a healthy way to satisfy any sweet tooth!
