We have salad almost every night with our dinner. Nothing fancy… I typically just put out the tub of organic mixed greens from Sam’s Club and the family dishes from that. My kids love salad, so if all else fails and they don’t want to eat whatever it is we are having for dinner, I…

Share Our Strength Progressive Dinner (Recipe: Potato Rolls)
It is frigid outside. The kind of frigid where you just want to curl up in your favorite fluffy slipper socks and PJ’s, the biggest blanket you can find and hibernate for the day, getting lost in a good book. Add to that putting on a pot of my favorite comfort food on the stove…
Tate’s Bake Shop Cookie and Cookbook Giveaway
I have a deep admiration for those of you who are so passionate about something that you took the leap of faith and started your own business.

Holiday Cocktail Hour {Recipe: Godiva Chocolate Martini}

Traditions? What Traditions? {Recipe: Baked Sweet Potato Fries}
