You know those mornings when everyone is running behind schedule and there’s no time for breakfast? Well, I’ve got you covered. Grab an Egg Popper, pop it in the microwave, and then pop it in your mouth! It’s that easy. All you have to do is make a batch of poppers on Sunday and you...

It’s a new year and a new start. I know I have been a little (a lot?) lax in my blog postings lately but I am back and will be starting this new year with some yummy, healthy recipes to keep mealtime interesting! I created this recipe sort of by accident. I had an avocado...

I was feeling creative tonight…don’t know why. It’s probably the cold start to our Spring (is it even Spring?) making me want to continue nesting. Anyway, I went into the kitchen and decided to make peanut sauce which in turn led me to make Sesame Peanut Noodles and Asian Chicken Salad. Kind of a weird...
No need for much explanation here. Salsa is pretty self explanatory after all! It’s so simple to make and tastes so delicious, I don’t know why anyone would eat salsa from a jar. It keeps in the frig for at least a week if you can keep it that long!! Every batch I make doesn’t...
