Lemon Poppy Seed Bread Recipe

Pin It One of my favorite quick breads to make is lemon poppy seed bread.  I got this recipe from my Mom, who received it from someone else.  So, I’m not sure of the source, but this bread is easy to make and has a moist consistency and delicious flavor. Lemon Poppy Seed Bread Ingredients: [...]

Nutella Hot Chocolate

I have a bit of a Pinterest addiction.  It wouldn’t be so bad, but I’m not doing nearly as many things as I’m pinning.  One recipe (with many variations) that I’ve seen several times is Nutella Hot Chocolate.  I think I had to stop myself from pinning it multiple times.  I like hot chocolate, and [...]

Taco Salad with a Twist

We’ve had taco salad a few times lately, and I decided to snap a picture during one of those meals.  (Check out the princess napkin.  It’s because I’m special like that.) I had this taco salad for the first time when we made it for a women’s retreat at church.  I wasn’t so sure about [...]

Exciting New Recipe App: Big Fork Little Fork for the iPad

I recently downloaded a really great free app for my iPad – Big Fork Little Fork. I first heard about it on TwitterMoms, and I thought, “Okay, sure – I’ll download the app and check it out.”  Seeing that it was from Kraft Foods (who partnered with chef Marcus Samuelsson) made me excited, since I [...]

Peanut Butter and Jam Sushi Rolls

I had seen the idea of making peanut butter and jelly “sushi rolls” (or pinwheels) in magazines a few times. Each time, I thought it sounded like the coolest idea.  But, I just went ahead and filed it in my “ideas I’d like to try” list.  (On a side note, this is often code for [...]

Egg White Sandwich

Since I’ve been busy working toward a little bit better eating lately, I decided to try egg whites, since my Mom keeps telling me how much she loves them.  So, I finally made some scrambled egg whites and decided to make a sandwich with them. I did this less than a week ago, and I [...]

Easy Indoor S’mores

We have recently discovered the insane yumminess of Nutella.  Molly wants to have it on just about everything, with our favorite being whole wheat toast with Nutella and sliced bananas.  A few days ago, we decided to make some modified S’mores, and everyone loved them! Ingredients: Nutella (a chocolate hazelnut spread) Marshmallow Cream Graham Crackers [...]

There’s More to a Sandwich than Meat and Bread

I’ve been working to try to make sure we’re eating more vegetables and fruits, and so this weekend when I went to make a roast beef sandwich (and Eric was making his own), I decided to go all out. Sure, I could have just thrown together the meat and bread, but I was inspired by [...]

Chocolate Whoopie Pies

I have had whoopie pies before from some German Baptist sellers at our local farmers market, as well as at my sister’s house when they live in Pennsylvania (though they called them Gobs there).  They were one of those things that I thought would be fun to make, but never thought much about it beyond [...]

Vegetable Alfredo Lasagna

While we were visiting with family before my Grandma passed, one of the nights we had both regular lasagna and vegetable alfredo lasagna.  When we got home, I just knew that we had to have the vegetable lasagna again.  One of the things that I really liked about the vegetable lasagna is that you can [...]
