Since joining the team at Alexia Foods as one of their blogger tastemakers, I’ve had a fun time trying to recreate old classic recipes using some of my favorite Alexia Food products. You might recall the Sweet Potato Casserole Bites I made awhile back, using Alexia Sweet Potato Puffs. Well, I’m at it again, but…

Power of Suggestion {Recipe: Fried Cheese Curds}
Marketers love me. They really do. I’m their target for commercials because it takes very, very little for me to get an idea stuck in my head and then I need that idea to come to fruition right that very minute. I’m the perfect case study for the power of suggestion. My husband knows better…

A Breakfast Solution {Recipe: Sausage and Cheese on Homemade English Muffins}
I have a confession to make. I Love, with a capital L, Sausage Cheese McMuffins from McDonald’s. I blame it on Leah. This love began when I was pregnant with her. I couldn’t stomach meat of any kind, but for some reason craved Sausage Cheese McMuffins like they were going out of style. It was…

Holding On To Summer {Recipe: Sinful Lemon Cake}
Summer is slipping away. The funny thing is, as much as I love summer, as soon as the kids start back to school I am more than ready for autumn to make its presence known. The crispness in the air, the colorful hues adorning the trees, football and pumpkin…all are my cue that summer is…

It’s that time of year again… the time where if you’ll look back over my blogging history, you’ll notice a little dip in emotion in August.
