{In The Kitchen} Garlic Ranch Wings + Twice Baked Potatoes

My husband invited a few friends over for the Super Bowl and being the foodie that I am, I wanted to make something "nice." I ended up making two of my favorite dishes: spicy garlic ranch wings and twice baked potatoes. Say it with me: Yummmmm. These two dishes are easy and taste great, perfect for any season, but they just seemed so right for football watchin', you know? Without further ado, … [Continue reading...]

My Menu Plan: January 7-13

In sitting here, trying to put together this menu plan for the week, the magnitude of everything just kind of hit me. I have to feed these kids every day. Not just some days but every day. One of my goals for 2013 is to cut back on how much we spend eating out (which we do around twice a month) but in order to do that, I actually need to cook more. And that makes me sad. While I love cooking, … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner December 31-January 6

I have to say, this winter break has been wonderful. My husband has been home the past week and a half, I've been catching up on much needed sleep, and I've been enjoying not having to venture out in the freezing cold to take my kids to school. We've been cuddling up inside, with hot chocolate and lots of baked goods — our life really resembles some type of fairy tale life, that I wish we could … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner December 24-December 30

Christmas is finally here! I feel like this is my favorite time of the year and the joy continues all the way until January 2. And after that?

Here's what we're eating this week  - please share your menu … [Continue reading...]

My Christmas Menu (Including Honeybaked Ham Copycat Recipe)

My Thanksgiving menu was pretty successful but I think, just maybe, I'm done making a large turkey for the holidays. I'm tired of how much it costs, how much I end up wasting and how long it takes to cook. Just done fussing over it. So while in years past, my Thanksgiving and Christmas menus were generally identical, this year I'm going to do it a bit differently. It is definitely scaled back … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} Stovetop Lasagna Ready In 30 Minutes

I made this a few days ago because I was really craving lasagna but didn't feel like going through all the motions. So instead I tossed together some ingredients, crossed my fingers and hoped for the best. My son devoured this (as he always does) and I even got my daughter to try a little bit (which is big since she's not a big pasta fan). You might think that the type of pasta you buy … [Continue reading...]

{In The Kitchen} What’s For Dinner: December 11-December 16

So this week's menu plan is late. Again. I swear I need 2013 to hurry up and get here because in 2012? My energy is SHOT. I need that "new year, new you" spirit to come over me right about now and get me excited about all this stuff I still have to do. Jesus be some enthusiasm!! So without further ado, here is my menu plan for the week. Feel free to steal some ideas or add your own in the … [Continue reading...]

I love them because they are two ingredients: Cake mix + pumpkin puree = Delicious muffins you can stuff in your face just 20 minutes later You dump the two ingredients in a bowl and then mix it for a couple minutes. You can … [Continue reading...]
