How to Get Your Kids to Eat Vegetables
January 28, 2019 by
There is one thing that all kids have in common: they hate eating vegetables. Once they’ve had candy and pizza, that’s what they’d like to eat all day long! We really can’t blame them; they prefer to eat something that tastes good, rather than being force fed bland vegetables. It is the same story everyday – we place a plate of nutritious vegetables in front of them, they whine and refuse to eat it, and they always win! Kids are too young to understand what is good for health, and what isn’t. … [Read more...]
Shepherds Pie Dinner with Manwich Thick & Chunky
September 22, 2014 by
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Manwich for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Family meal time is important. It's often the only time in a day that we all come together to reconnect after busy days at work and school. Coming together around the table lets us talk about not just our days but about family matters, events coming up and of course to share laughs. Making sure we have hearty, healthy and delicious meals encourages more time gathered around the table. One … [Read more...]

Don't we all have pretty bowls and vases on our kitchen table filled with fruit, flowers and other lovely centerpieces. On our tables I have a bowl of fresh produce and on the other table I have a tray filled with junk. I'm talking about coupons, sunglasses, notebooks, beads and business cards.

They hunted under our deck for very specific shaped river rocks and made a this bowl of … [Read more...]
Pepperoni Soup Recipe
January 9, 2013 by
The recipe name sounds strange I know. Those outside my family look at me strange when I say we're having pepperoni soup for dinner. It was something that seemed like a special treat when I was growing up. It's something that my own family has grown to love and in fact Sabreena asked to have it for her birthday dinner last week. Traditionally my grandmother used a Spanish sausage NOT pepperoni but I particularly like the pepper and spice that comes from it. My grandmother also called it … [Read more...]
Homemade Squirrel Nut Zipper Candy Recipe
January 2, 2013 by
This is a both a Pinterest recipe FAIL and success. I found a 6 minute microwave caramel recipe that got great reviews so I attempted it as my first foray into candy making. It was simple, easy and hopeful. About 1 hour after it was "setting" I knew it wasn't going to be exactly what I wanted so i tried again. Thank goodness I did because I'm addicted to what I did create. Remember those old school penny candies, Squirrel Nut Zippers. Sticky, chewy, nutty, pull your molars out kinda yum. I … [Read more...]
