Game Day Pizza Cheeseball

It’s almost the start of football season, although my son has been practicing for a few weeks now already! Football season is probably one of my favorite times of the year for food because it’s the start of fall and a whole new genre of food including tailgate favorites, soups, and pumpkin and apple everything!…

Cheesy Brussel Sprout Bake

It’s been a while since I’ve posted due to all 3 of my kids being home for summer break and the chaos that entails being a working, stay-at-home mom. Hopefully once they are back to school, I will have more time to blog about my passion for cooking good food!  I came up with this…

Goetta Hash

We’re located in Cincinnati and Goetta (pronounced “getta”) is a breakfast food staple at our home! If you haven’t tried you should! It’s like breakfast sausage with oats in it and man is it delish! We have “brinner” a lot at our house because it’s easy, simple, and I always have the ingredients in my…

Perfect Coconut Margarita

It is officially margarita drinking weather here (FINALLY)! I love making margaritas not only because they are delicious and refreshing on a hot day but they are so versatile in flavors that you can create. I’ve made strawberry, blackberry, mango, jalapeno, pineapple, and the list goes on! But these coconut margaritas are probably one of…

Penne with Ground Turkey and Zucchini

My kids love pasta, which makes it easier to get them to eat their vegetables! I love making pasta dishes and adding a variety of vegetables and proteins to create a simple, one dish meal that everyone enjoys. With spring and gardening season upon us, I love to be creative with ways to use zucchini…

Spicy Herb Roasted Chickpeas

Chickpeas or garbanzo beans….whatever you’d like to call them….not sure why there is even two names for this but my family absolutely adores these versatile beans. We roast them and eat them as snacks (a healthy substitute for chips) or side dishes. I put them in salads, which gives a nice texture to the salad,…

Kale and Provolone Stuffed Chicken

My family’s love for kale is awesome! It all started with making some kale chips one day and my kids were hooked. My littlest one even eats it raw sometimes. We also prefer kale in our salads as well not only for the health benefits but also the taste and texture that iceberg lettuce has…

Sesame Asian Salmon with Sriracha Cream Sauce

Ding, ding, ding….this just in….this is ONE of my family’s favorite meals! And yes, I know I keep saying that but my husband and kids love food especially meals that are free and served to them daily! Just kidding…Still trying to find someone to do that for me! But seriously, when I first started experimenting…

Chicken, Peas & Noodles

There really is no fancy “food term” for this dish as it is one that I made up for my kids because we all know how picky eaters can effect what we mom’s make in the kitchen! I guess the closest comparison I can give is to a chicken piccata. I use peas for an…

Sheet Pan Nachos

Who doesn’t LOVE nachos and who doesn’t LOVE easy and fast meals, especially when you’re always on the go and your kids are starving! This recipe is super fast and easy and the ingredients can easily be swapped out for what you have in your pantry at the moment because no one likes going to…
