America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook
It doesn’t seem to matter how much time I free up – I never seem to have enough. One of my favorite things to do as a wife and mother are cooking dinners for my family. Breakfast and lunch aren’t a big deal, but dinner – well, that should be a decent meal. However, dinners need to be quick, easy to warm up, and preferably even portable between everyone’s work, school, karate, the gym, horses, etc. We frequently need to grab and go. Keeping a cooler in our cars at all times for warm and cold items. America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook America’s Test Kitchen Cookbook is the perfect solution. Real,…

Sweet Potato Lasagna – A Better Lasagna!
I absolutely love this period in my life. When I first got married I was determined to be a dutiful wife and make huge meals for my husband and I. Seriously, just two of us and I cooked for an army. Then kids came along and careers that didn’t allow us to be home nearly as much. Cooking a large supper was no longer much of an option – at least not during the week. But I have never lost the love of just cooking and feeding my family a nice meal and even introducing them to new ideas, flavors, textures and colors. It really started with me insisting that…

Cannoli Tart – The Perfect Special Treat
Today was bound to be a stressful day for our family and I wanted to do what I could to try and reduce that stress. Let’s face it food has a way of calming troubles – at least in our family. We all seem to be on different “diets” but for today, we didn’t care. We struggle with the loss of my father and my husband’s father. Mine passed away a little over two years ago and my husband’s passed away a year ago today. There are two years in our married life that have been really really hard and this was the second. The first was the loss of…

DIY – Make Your Own Soda Stream Syrup
This post contains affiliate links Do you own a Soda Stream? Or any other carbonated water system? Then you really need to read this post. If you don’t own a Soda Stream you will want one after reading this! Soda syrup can be expensive. When we first got our Soda Stream they had flavors like Diet Grape etc… Somewhere along the way they did away with the Diet Grape which really had us walking away from our Soda Stream for a long time. But now we have picked it up again because guess what – we can have just about any flavor soda we want, just make it ourselves! It…

Three Step Homemade Laundry Detergent
It is time for us to rebuild our laundry detergent supply. Years ago when I was a coupon fanatic I would have stockpiles of laundry detergent that I would have purchased for pennies on the dollar. I no longer have time to coupon and honestly those types of deals just don’t seem to exist anymore. My days of getting five years worth of free toilet paper are long gone. Don’t get me wrong – you can still save a great deal with coupons these days but you need to spend more time doing it with apps, clipping, matching etc… The technology should have made couponing easier but it seems to…

Keto Friendly Pancakes – Low Carb and Delicious
One of the things I have been missing most on our Keto journey is breakfast other than eggs. I love eggs – or did… But they have been a main staple for several weeks and well, the novelty is wearing off. Funny thing is when I wasn’t on Keto I really didn’t care for things like pancakes too much. But now – I really wanted something different. Additionally, our son has been expressing an interest in trying more Keto friendly meals and as soon as I started cooking these this morning, he jumped out of bed! He made it clear that next time I need to make a much larger…
