I wish you guys could have smelled these All American Summer Berry Muffins when they came out of the oven.  They scream summer! I don’t bake much, but every time I do I feel I need to bake more.  This recipe uses regular sugar, but you could sub in Truvia if you like to bring down the points.  Sometimes using real sugar is worth it...

When Hannah was little we used to pick up McDonald’s every once in a while.  I would order the 20 piece chicken nuggets knowing full well that Hannah would eat a few and I would eat the rest.  And I wonder how I got to 211 pounds!  These my friends are my grown up chicken nuggets. They have cilantro, Parmesan cheese and since I love...

A great way to use up your farmers market bounty is to make this easy marinara with chicken sausage meatballs.

The app Timehop reminded me last week that it had been six years since I made a peach pie. In July 2014 my late husband hadn’t been feeling well all year.  It started with a trip to the ER on New Years Eve.  My husband hadn’t been working and we were waiting to see if his disability would be approved, which turned out to be...

This carrot potato mash was a happy accident. I’ve been doing Mariano’s pick up groceries since I am not on Day 11 of no results yet of my COVID test.  The sweet girl who did my shopping called me and said “we don’t have any one pound bag of carrots, can I substitute a pound of baby carrots? Um, the question to that answer will...

I remember my Mom making morning glory muffins growing up.  She must have made them often, or maybe when she did make them a few times they made an impression, but I loved them.  I am probably sure I didn’t know there were veggies in there! My idea to make these morning glory muffins came to me when I realized I had a zucchini, one...

When my husband was alive, I tried to “trick” him into eating healthier things under the guise of something else.  Like these buffalo cauliflower bites I made the other night – I may have attempted to pass them off as chicken!! My favorite story though is when I thought I could trick my husband by adding red quinoa into his meatballs and spaghetti.  I literally...

Chicken Meatball Ravioli Whether you call these chicken meatball ravioli, or chicken meatball wontons, all I know is that steamed or air fried, they were delicious! For example, watch a bunch of YouTube videos by searching “how to fold wontons” and you’ll get the idea.    Why I love Mid’s Pasta Sauces I love Mid’s pasta sauces because they bring an authentic, homemade taste to...

You’ll love these BBQ turkey burgers. My late husband and I loved to go out to eat, and on the weekends we would eat out at least twice if not three times.  The weekends were a slippery slope for me.  I love burgers! I would do great Monday through Friday and then come Friday night it’s as if I lost my mind and ate whatever...

My brother loves peanut butter and  I thought of him the whole time I made this spicy peanut noodles with shrimp.  If you were to ask my brother what his favorite food is, it wouldn’t be tacos or pizza.  It would be peanut butter!   Not sure he would eat it with the shrimp, or sugar snap peas for that matter, but hey, I thought about...
