Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins The other morning I was in the mood to bake some muffins. Most recently I’d made blueberry muffins, and had just finished off the last of the batch from the freezer.

Restaurant Style Salsa

Restaurant Style Salsa One of my favorite types of food to cook at home is Mexican- it’s a rare occurrence that I won’t have some form of tacos, burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, or enchiladas on our weekly menu. When it is Mexican night, we like to snack on chips and salsa before our meal. For the [...]

Vegetable Enchiladas Brad and I made these enchiladas last night, and they were so good I just couldn’t wait to share them with you today.

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough Homemade pizza is a meal that we make almost weekly in our house. Pizza is one of our favorite foods, and there are so many ways to top a pizza that it never gets old. And when you make your own pizza at home, it is both more economical and healthful [...]
Blueberry Smoothie

Blueberry Smoothie Smoothies make a great breakfast, and since they’re portable you can blend one up and take it with you in the morning. I tend to make smoothies most often in the afternoon, though. They make a nutritious afternoon snack, filled with fruit, milk, and yogurt (which provide calcium and protein). Recently I’ve been [...]
Dulce de Leche Cupcakes

Dulce de Leche Cupcakes If you are a caramel fan, then you will love these cupcakes. The caramel flavor comes through in the frosting, which is a mixture of butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar, and of course, dulce de leche.
