These are my top five recipes for the BBQ, the ones I go back to over and over again because they never let me down.
Quick & Easy Meals
Southern Style Biscuits
These are the perfect southern style biscuit! Light and fluffy inside, delicately crisp outside – plus they have just the right hit of salt. It’s taken me a while to be able to say this: You’ll never try another recipe! The thing I love the most about these biscuits, wait, there’s two things. The first thing: they’re so easy to…
How Resolve Gold Saved My Sons Favorite Pants
I’m a deal shopper. My rule with the kids’ clothes is that I never spend more than 50% of original cost – doesn’t matter how cute it is, I just bide my time until the right sale comes along. Sometimes, those deals are just too good to pass up. Sometimes, you find a pair of what…
Helping our Communities Feed It Forward
Food obviously holds a very warm place in my heart – the kitchen is where I spend my afternoons, working on dinner, while I talk to the kids about their day, or throw a dance party to put everyone in a better mood (we even have a disco light hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen)….
15 Breakfast Recipes to Make Your Mornings Easier!
I got tagged in a facebook post last night. It was another Mom looking for ideas for easy snacks that she could make for her kiddo, and my cousin knows that I live with a freezer full of options at any given time. I realized that this is a wealth of information that needed to be…
Easy Peri-Peri Chicken
Peri-Peri style chicken is coated in this indescribably delicious and complex tasting marinade that has a bit of heat layered within some incredible smoky and garlicky flavour. I became obsessed with ordering it in on those crazy hectic nights, but my wallet demanded I learn how to make a quick and easy version of it at home.
Havarti, Pesto & Pear Grilled Cheese Sandwich
I feel like my fingers need a stretch. There is absolutely no holiday I love more than Christmas, and to do it justice, I completely break off from the blog for a couple of weeks. We go big on the 25th, but Bo’s background is part Serbian, so we always make sure to acknowledge that…
Cracker Barrel Style French Toast
The end of October we went on vacation to Florida (there will be a post, because my four year old went on Tower of Terror and loved it… that needs to be shared with the world). On the drive home we stopped at Cracker Barrel for dinner, as we do every year, except everyone felt like breakfast,…
Castello Brie with Roasted Garlic
I was so excited to be asked to help promote the new movie Burnt (starring Bradley Cooper) along with Castello Cheese, which is featured in the film. I have been a movie fan for as long as I can remember, literally. My first real movie memory is of my Mom freaking out because I fell…
Best Ever Apple Crisp
I’ll boast a lot about the food I cook… “This is really good” or “You’ve got to try out this one, you’ll love it”. But with all of those meals, there’s always a little room for improvement. This recipe though, this recipe has been THE apple crisp for us for over a decade now. It’s…
Crack-tatoes aka roasted potatoes with bacon and cheese
I don’t want to alarm you, but I’m about to introduce you to something you’ve been missing in your life. Nothing beats a good roasted potato. Thing is – I sucked at making roasted potatoes. One time they’d be awesome, and the next time soggy. One day seasoned perfectly, and the next time, though I…
Reese Peanut Butter S’mores Dips (4 ways!!)
Hi, you may already know me, my name is Katrina, and I have a problem. This is my own personal jar of Reese Peanut Butter Spread. I keep it in a cupboard, where the kids can’t reach, and when I’m having a bad day, I swipe my finger through it to make things better. Which it always…
Herb and Garlic Lamb Chop Pops
I have been absolutely buzzing about sharing this recipe with all of you. Fall is (quickly) approaching, school is about to start back up, and as much as it seems like we had no free time during the summer, life gets CRAZY hectic once the routine starts up again. There is nothing that I love…
salted toffee squares
If you’ve ever tried those almond roca candies, you’ll know where I’m going with this. The candies have a hard almond toffee center, are covered in milk chocolate, and then rolled in toasted almonds. They’re basically a perfect bite of awesome. A few years ago I found a recipe for squares in a Martha Stewart magazine that had…
sweet cakey cornbread
Before we even get started on this one – I know. Cornbread is a very personal thing to a lot of you. Especially if you’re from the south (which I’m not, so give me a little extra leeway here). I’ve seen it written that in Texas, if you add sugar to your cornbread, you’re liable…
Oatmeal Banana Bread Snacking Cookies
So, we’re one week in to summer vacation, and I’m already running out of snack ideas (how is this possible). My kids are grazers. They typically like to eat a small little breakfast and lunch, and graze in between those meals and dinner. I try my best to have healthy (ish at least) snacks, and…
