Happy Monday everyone. I was craving Quinoa today and didn’t have everything I needed to make my go-to recipe, so with some (read ‘many’) substitutions, I came up with this new recipe. It is basically a whole new recipe, and it turned out, so it gets its own recipe page right here. Ta-da! Cucumber Nut Continue reading →
I’ve been down in Antigua since Sunday afternoon and last night I got a little homesick so I decided to throw together a version of my spaghetti with homemade sauce. I stopped by the local grocery store and grabbed everything I needed, and a bottle of wine and I was ready to go. Ingredients 1 Continue reading →
My daughter and I were snacking on some Goldfish Pretzels last week when I asked her where she thought they would like to swim. “In chocolate?” was her response and this gave me an idea. After a trip to the grocery store, we decided to test her theory out with fudge. I mean, I would Continue reading →
My mom used to make this recipe when I was younger and I haven’t had it in about 20 years. I came across her recipe and made a couple of small changes to it. My 3.5 year old helped me do everything (except use the mixer) and we had it last night as the dessert Continue reading →

I have also been going through the new Betty Crocker cookbook and have been tackling a bunch of their easy recipes for the slow cooker. The thing I like the Continue reading →

I can’t believe our Little Bird is going to be three years old next month. We just handed out her invites this morning and we have been talking about her birthday this past weekend. This is the first year she gets some input on what she wants and she is getting excited. She is at Continue reading →
In this household, those two go together like “rama lama lama kadingy kading-a-dong”(Grease throwback for ya). My husband is in his element around barbecues. I imagine that listening to him decide what he wants to grill and watching him in action would be like hanging out with Beethoven while he composed Fur Elise. Okay, I am Continue reading →
I just got back from one of my favorite gardening centres with the rest of this year’s vegetables that we will be planting in our garden. I say the rest because Little Bird and I already started some peas, ground cherries and heirloom tomatoes in doors a couple of months ago from the seeds we Continue reading →
This past week was a little exciting in our household. On Friday, I finished my last day of work before our baby will be born. Also on Friday, I ended up stopping in to the hospital on my way home because I had been having contractions since Thursday night. I only clued in that they Continue reading →
Is anyone here currently signed up for the Life Made Delicious e-newsletter? I am and I look forward to getting their emails throughout the month that cover things from picky eaters to new and favorite recipes. I was even SUPER excited to see that they had my Slow Cooker Chicken & Dumplings recipe in one Continue reading →
