This recipe is one that has been a family favorite for, well for as long as I can remember. It’s one of the very few things my mom could cook, this and the best ever Rice Krispie treats. I’m pretty sure anyone that can boil pasta can make this one, and that’s the beauty of it. Well that and the fact that it’s probably the best comfort food in the history of ever. It’s perfect ...
Yellow Curry Chicken Tenders
Chicken tenders are great, they're kid friendly and great for picky eaters. Honestly I pair Trader Joe's frozen chicken tenders with mac and cheese and have it on the meal plan about every other week, because having a kid is the perfect excuse to eat like a kid. Sometimes it's nice to have grown up food though, which is why I came up with this ridiculously simple recipe for ...
Sriracha BBQ Party Pretzels Recipe
My family has this epic recipe for making a bag of boring pretzels, taste out-of-this-world-amazing. I swapped out one ingredient to make them even better, now we have ourselves Sriracha Barbecue party pretzels, and they’re a game changer. These will take you through a journey in time and space. (because The Mighty Boosh references are always acceptable.) Honestly though, it’s ...
Easy corndog muffin recipe using Trader Joe’s cornbread mix
I'm always looking for family friendly recipes, my daughter isn't even a picky eater, but I like to make meals a little more fun. Sometimes I think I appreciate kid food just as much as she does and chicken tenders end up on the meal plan often. So I made some fun corndog muffins with a box of Trader Joe's cornbread mix. It was so easy, all I did was add a little garlic and ...
Vanilla Cookie Recipe (and my little kitchen helper)
It's the perfect time of the year to try out new cookie recipes, I recently made and shared the recipe for brown sugar spice cookies. More recently I made vanilla cookies, I made this easy vanilla cookie recipe last year too, I just forgot to share them! These cookies are really simple to make and they taste great, these taste like sugar cookies with a stronger vanilla flavor ...

In my mind every season is pie season. Maybe it's because I can whip up a pie crust in a couple minutes, seriously have you checked out my 4 ingredient flaky pie crust recipe yet? It means pies are easily my go-to recipe. One of my favorite pies to make is a simple strawberry pie. It's easy to make, delicious, and beautiful, that's a win win win (whoa three wins!) in my book. ...
Garlic Parmesan Zucchini Fries
AJ finally upgraded his grill this spring, and we've been grilling about twice a week since. As wonderful as it is to grill all weekend every weekend we're quickly running out of ideas for sides and have to get a little more creative. These garlic parmesan zucchini fries are probably one of the best things I've ever had as a side even though I'm not a fan of zucchini. One of ...
Four Ingredient Slow Cooker Chicken Wings
I love hosting people for game days, is there anything more fun than gathering together and eating tons of finger foods? Even when it's just the 3 of us at home we like to create quite the spread; chips and taco dip, something from the grill, cheese, crackers and sausage. We go all out. Sometimes it's nice to give the grill a break and cook something simple inside. That's ...
Best Ever Breakfast Potatoes Recipe
If it were up to me I would have potatoes with every single meal. I love potatoes, a lot. I tried out this recipe one afternoon when it was just Aliceana and I. I had skipped lunch and I couldn't wait a few hours for dinner, so I thought why not make some potatoes? Yep, I can make a meal out of potatoes. As soon as I tasted these I immediately texted AJ to let him know I made ...
