Honey BBQ Baked Chicken Recipe

I love an easy dinner. I've been trying to find some great recipes to make on Monday's that I can use throughout the week to help meal plan out my week.

This Honey BBQ Baked Chicken Recipe has been a hit and I've made it with … [Read more...]

Honey BBQ Slow Cooker Wings #Recipe

Johnny loves wings. LOVES wings! The hotter the better too. The problem is that other than me no one else in the family really cares for hot. With the super bowl coming around I knew I'd be making some but wanted to find a way to make some delicious wings that didn't take a lot of time, weren't hot, and tasted great. I finally came up with the perfect recipe and the best part was I skipped the … [Read more...]

Thanksgiving is so close! It is so close that I can pretty much smell the turkey, homemade rolls, and pumpkin pie.  Yum-my.  I am so excited to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family.  We live states away from our extended families so being able to celebrate a holiday with them is a really big deal for us.

We really like to use … [Read more...]

FoldIt Flatout Bread from Hungry Girl #FlatoutHot

When it comes to lunch I can be boring. It's 'just' lunch I tell myself so it doesn't need to be anything fancy. Just slab some meat inbetween some bread or toss some veggies in a bowl and call it a meal. What if I could put as little effort in and come out with some new ideas for lunches that I know my kids would be a lot more excited about. I headed out to Walgreens to pick up everything I … [Read more...]

Cooking Italian with the Cake Boss Cookbook with Margarita Pizza #Recipe

When I first heard of the Cake Boss I went bonkers as I actually live extremely close to them.   Since we weren't too far away my husband and I actually ventured out and bought ourselves a few goodies from their shop in Hoboken.  Thankfully it was in the beginning of the fame and it wasn't too crowded.  Now if you want to go there's usually lines out the door and down the street!  Buddy has … [Read more...]

Grilled Cheesy Broccoli Pocket with Ham {kid friendly #recipe from #birdseye}

Now that its the holiday season things really are out of control and there is no time for anything it seems. The two older boys are both in afterschool programs AND sports making for some crazy, crazy schedules. I'm normally picking them up from an afterschool lesson and only have an hour or less until they are due at a sport practice. Thing is those sports practices are a couple hours long and … [Read more...]
