Homemade Tomato Soup – Super Easy & Delicious!

I grew up on Campbell's Tomato Soup. It was the meal of the sick and infirm in my house. Caught a cold? Here's some Campbell's Tomato Soup. Get your finger slammed in the car door? Have a bowl of piping hot canned soup. Got dumped? Here's some soup - heat it up in the microwave. Nothing beats tomato soup with a grilled cheese

Apple Pie in a Jar

This is such a fun and easy recipe to make with the kids. Apple Pie in a Jar looks adorable and tastes delicious with all those fall flavors coming together. I love apple pie, but it's a chore to make, even with store bought pie crust (which is how my family has made pies for generations). Using crumbled oatmeal cookies is the key to this

I Made Kale Chips and They Were OK

This summer I tried my hand at growing kale. I have this wonderful raised garden from A Backyard Farm, that I've been lucky enough to harvest all kinds of wonderful vegetables from each year. Usually the beans take over and the cilantro goes to seed far too early. This year I skipped the beans (though there were several volunteers left over from last year and

Italian Pasta Salad

  This is one of my all time favorite salads. It's perfect on a hot summer day when the last thing you want to do is cook a heavy meal on the stove or in the oven. The recipe can be made with any of the vegetables in your garden including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchini and celery. I use Wishbone Italian dressing because it has

Always Eat After 7 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

This post is brought to you by my sponsor, “Always Eat After 7 PM”. The opinions expressed below are my own. For the last few weeks I've been writing about a new way of eating I've been trying (again) You can read the first post here, and the second one here, and last week I shared my progress.

Pineapple Upside Down Cake

This is a deliciously moist cake that isn't too sweet - perfect for a summer BBQ. This is a recipe my dad and I perfected over many weekends at the cabin. My dad's been gone for nearly 15 years, so I think of him and how much fun we had figuring out the best Pineapple Upside Down Cake recipe. There was very likely alcohol involved.

Ham and Cheese Egg Bites (no Sous Vide)

I love Starbuck's Egg Bites, they are delicious. The eggs are absolutely perfect and make a great breakfast on the go. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, so I rarely get them unless I make a special trip or am traveling. I love them, but they cost about $5 for two egg bites so unless I am traveling I don't eat them. Luckily they are

Shamrock Shake Bites

If you came of age in the 70s or even 80s - March is all about Shamrock Shakes from McDonald's. Like Girl Scout Cookies, and the McRib, it isn't around for very long so if you don't make a special trip, you're not going to get one. I can't remember the last time I had one. They look so good now, so much better than

The Best EVER Carrot Cake

I love carrot cake, and so does everyone in my family. In the past I have made carrot cakes from the box because it seems so much easier, but one of the kids has a nut allergy so anything that has been produced on equipment that processes tree nuts is out - that includes many cake mixes. The ones that are nut free use something

Heart Deco Valentine’s Day Roll Cake

My daughter is all about roll cakes and she made this one. She'd been making roll cakes for years, in fact it was a matcha roll cake that was her first ever scratch cake she made. Talk about jumping into the deep end!  This is a relatively easy cake to make, but there are a lot of steps so make sure you have time or
