Um, you guys. If there is one new recipe you try this weekend, make it this one. This honey sesame chicken in the crockpot is SO good and SO easy. (source) Holy. cow. I decided to make it because I needed a quick, easy meal that could cook while we were out of the house.…
{ source: joannagoddard.blogspot.com } When I’m bored with the usual dinners and thumbing through my organized recipes just isn’t cutting it, I turn to my Pinterest food board to test out something new. The internet really knows what their talking about, because I feel like I rarely try a recipe that I don’t at least like…
Now that I live far from friends and family (read about our move here), it’s the first time that I’ve had to send gifts in the mail. I decided to mail some desserts and goodies to friends and family as part of their gift (because who doesn’t love to get homemade food in the mail…
Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and I am finding myself getting final preparations in order; making my grocery list, picking out my recipes, planning decor… it’s all part of the holiday fun!
Here’s a roundup of some of the things that I’m including in my Thanksgiving this year. If it’s sneaking up on you and you’re feeling unprepared, throw some of these ideas into play and you’ll be all set. See, you didn’t really need to stress, did you?
If you’ve read my blog, you know the frustrations I’ve dealt with when it comes to getting my 3 1/2 year old to eat. And if you’re a mom who’s ever had a 3 1/2 year old, I’m willing to bet you’ve dealt with the same issue.
You guys, I am over the moon about the fact that fall is here. Like, weirdly excited.
I think it’s because now that we are in Colorado instead of California, I get to experience a true fall season. The temperature has already dipped, the nights are chilly and the leaves are starting to turn a golden yellow.
I go to bed dreaming of pumpkin patches and apple picking and often smell the faint hint of banana bread in my nostrils – see what I mean? Weird.
A few weeks ago, I posted about how my 3 1/2 year old was giving me a run for my money at mealtime { see here }. Refusing to eat, throwing fits, “hating” everything. Ugh.
What I’m about to share with you will change your life. Ok, that may be a bit dramatic. But my husband was putty in my hands after I made these for him, and that deserves a raving review in my book.
The idea for this recipe all began when I found and reviewed a pin for eggless cookie dough that was meant to be eaten raw. After testing it out, I thought it was amazing but it wasn’t working for me in its original form. See, I felt kind of disgusting sitting on the couch with a big bowl of cookie dough and a spoon… I wanted a way to make it a little more portion-control friendly, so I rolled it into balls and put it in the freezer (because the balls were really sticky). This was good, but by the time I finished eating the frozen dough ball, my fingers were covered with a sticky mess. How can I hide my gluttony from my 3-year-old when the evidence is all over my hands??
I love lazy Saturday mornings and big yummy breakfasts.
Most Saturdays I actually attend a mom’s group at 9 a.m., but on occasion, I stay home and relax with my family. Even when I do go to group, I tend to have time to cook breakfast and eat before rushing off since my kids are early risers (Woot! Woot! For the 5-6 a.m.-ers!…sigh.)
