I’ve had so much fun over the past couple weeks experimenting with the new FreshTake products from Kraft. You may remember I made this flavorful Shrimp Walnut Salad pictured above and the “oh so good” Cheesy Bacon Bites using Kraft FreshTake Cheddar Jack and Bacon variety.

Homemade with Love {Recipe: Herbed Skillet Croutons}

Recipe: B.A.T. Pasta Salad with Avocado Ranch Dressing
Have you ever enjoyed a B.A.T. sandwich?? B.A.T. is what I prefer over a B.L.T. Skip the lettuce and replace it with a tasty avocado. Talk about flavor! Yum! I decided to take that favorite sandwich of mine and turn it into a pasta salad. Cinco de Mayo is coming up and you know you’ll…

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…
