Making french toast in the crock pot has become my new favorite. It’s too easy. Basic ingredients go in, let it soak overnight, and then turn the crock pot on first thing in the morning. No fuss or frills about it.
Hey there! I hope you all are well and enjoying spring where you are. My big kids have just finished up their two week spring break and this mama is worn out! They keep me busy, but it’s no secret I love having all of my little birds home with me so it’s sad to see them…
Spring is finally here! There’s nothing like welcoming the sunshine and warmer temps with a refreshing beverage. This cucumber limeade slush is one of my go-to recipes for parties and showers. It’s always a hit! The recipe is so simple so it’s an easy one to pass along.
Think Spring, think delicate sweets, think Chocolate Drizzled Orange Oatmeal Lace Cookies. They’re dainty, delicate, fancy, and did I mention, yummy? You can keep these simple, or go ahead and dress them up with some orange zest (or extract) and chocolate drizzles. This is the ultimate excuse to make a mess in the kitchen for the sake of “art”. Serve these at your next brunch, tea party, or whenever you just want to feel fancy!
Hello, friends! It’s Cathy from Lemon Tree Dwelling, here today to share some of my favorite summer dessert recipes with all of you! Since spring break starts tomorrow, I am definitely starting to have summer on my mind. And with the warmer weather we’ve been having, it seems like the perfect time to start pulling…
Spinach artichoke dip is one of my very favorites. I order it from every restaurant that has it on the menu. And I’m not too picky about the vehicle I use to transfer it from bowl to mouth. Although chips or pita slices are often the preferred choice, I have been known to reach right for a spoon. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I’ve even scraped the bowl clean with my finger. Ask my husband. He’ll tell you.
To try something a little different, I decided to prepare a sweet dip for our dessert while my mom was in town to visit. Something silky and light that would go great with a reduced fat cookie. Here’s what I came up with:
Hi again, Becky here from Bite of Delight! I’m so excited about today’s post because it’s all about one of my favorite discoveries… coconut oil! This amazing stuff has solved a lot of problems in my life, from cleaning to personal care to cooking. There are so many incredible uses for coconut oil, but today I want to talk about my top 10. These 10 best uses for coconut oil are in no particular order, because I love them all!
I remember as a child, when we had salad it was a combination of lettuce, tomatoes and sometimes cucumber. Nowadays salads are made up of a wide range of meats, veggies, fruits and cheeses. I love a good salad and this one is a good one!
My grand kids love it. We had it for Sunday dinner and my youngest grand son told me, “Granny that salad is popping!” He is so funny, but in all seriousness if you want something that is nutritious and a quick meal, this is your salad.
These easy blueberry bars are simple to make, and taste fantastic!
These blueberry crumble bars have been a favorite for ages. They really are quite simple to make and I don’t think you can really mess ’em up. And I’ll tell you a secret – you can pretend that they are good to eat for breakfast! ‘Cuz there’s fruit. No seriously, though, I consume way too many of these in the morning.
Hello again OSSS readers! I’m Kristi from making it in the mountains and I’m back again to share another favorite recipe! This quick dish has been an absolute life saver as we trudge through month two of moving (you can check out a sneak peek of our new home here). Yes, you read that right … TWO MONTHS! Ugh! Anyway, all whining aside, this pasta salad has become our go-to side dish simply because it’s SO easy to whip up a big ol’ batch of it, not to mention it’s SUPER yummy and goes with pretty much everything! I just know y’all are going to LOVE it too!
Jen from Baked by an Introvert back with another great recipe for you! I am a huge fan of baking with bananas. Seriously, it seems like I create one banana inspired recipe a week. From muffins to cupcakes to cookies, I’m hooked on all things banana.
I had some over ripe bananas on my counter so I decided to whip up a super moist bread. An incredibly indulgent banana bread loaded with chocolate, chai, and bits of caramel filled chocolate chips.
Since becoming a mom, saving money on healthy meals has been a huge part of my stay-at-home job. The most effective way I have found to save big is through pairing coupons with great deals at my local store – 10 for $10 sales are my very favorite! Most of these sales, are generally on canned goods which has really challenged me to get creative with the things I make; because making healthy things that my family will actually eat is top of the priority list.
To make sure I’m using up my sale items, I have given myself a goal of creating at least one meal a week with mostly canned pantry items. Generally, I make these meals on Thursday: when my husband works late, and I’m too exhausted after a day with the boys to spend a lot of time cooking!
