Shrimp Walnut Salad with Cheddar Jack Bacon Dressing Recipe
I was hired by Kraft to create a recipe using their Kraft Fresh Take Cheddar Jack and Bacon mixtures. This post is about my experience. I’m talking Bacon again this week with a new #KraftFreshTake challenge! You may remember that with my first #KraftFreshTake challenge I made these amazing Cheesy Bacon Bite appetizers. Now, I’m…
Spring Into Lunch with Glad {Recipe: Salted Caramel Almonds}
Amazing lunches have never been my strong suit. Dinner? I can do. Lunch? It’s always been hard for me to create lunches my kids will enjoy and that won’t get thrown out with the trash when lunch is over. I used to simply do sandwiches for them… I’d add a fruit and some pretzels or…
Cheesecake Minis with Strawberry Balsamic Mint Topping
I’ve had a love affair with cheesecake practically my whole life, but, would you believe this is my first time ever making cheesecake? It is my absolute favorite dessert, hands down, but for some reason I’ve always left the cheesecake making up to everyone else. I should have known that once I actually made cheesecake…
Easter Bites {Recipe: Blueberry Mousse Filled Mini Fillo Shells}
I always like to think of Easter as our official start of spring, but I also remember that each year, I become the biggest sucker around and buy my girls beautiful Easter dresses.

My Favorite Bush’s Beans Recipes {Giveaway!}
I am currently on a little 8 day detox / cleanse trying to rid myself of some of the bad food habits I can’t seem to kick myself from. I’m on day 4 (so half way through) and it’s going really well! The good thing about this detox is, even though I have had to…
Spring is Coming! {Harry and David Mini Roses Plant Giveaway}
This giveaway is now closed. Congrats to Jody B! Thanks for entering. The ground is snow covered, but there are signs that spring is coming. Like the saying above, glimpses of spring give me great hope. This morning I woke up to sun streaming through the windows…I noticed it wasn’t dark out like it has…
Recipes From the Heart {Veggie Nachos}
My dear friend, Kim, from Cravings of a Lunatic, lost her mom to heart disease 29 years ago and in memory, she often shares stories of her mom on the anniversary of her death. This year, she decided to team up with Jen from Juanita’s Cocina to create a blogging event to help raise awareness…
