New. Favorite. Thing. Ever. Obsessed. I can't even! So let me tell you how this went down. Every Tuesday in my group, The OP Lounge, we have something called TIP TUESDAY. Each week has a theme, and not long ago, one of the themes was cooking. One fabulous gal shared this recipe with us and I nearly fell out of my chair. What is this dream of a food come true? It one slice of cheese that is made into a crispy taco shell, or if … [Read more...]
What To Eat: Spinach Patties
My daughter requested I make spinach balls not too long ago to go along with dinner. I felt like those were more hors d'oeuvres, and in pulling several recipes together, I created my own, and instead created these patties. I felt like they were more "side dish" type of an item to serve with chicken, fish, beef, anything. And the extras made a great little snack! Spinach Patties 2 bags frozen spinach 2 large egg 1 stick … [Read more...]
Baked S’mores Dip
The first thing I said when I saw this was OH MY GOD. Like in valley girl voice. No recipe. Just an image on instagram from my friend Mindy, and I was swept away.

If you're looking for something to make that you can put it in crockpot and forget it … [Read more...]
Easy Crockpot Chicken Tacos: Taco Tuesday
Now that school is back in session, I've made a promise to myself that I'm going to try to do better as mother hen and be better about preparing dinner for the crew.

While many days I wish I WAS eating bon bons on the sofa! LOL!... but often I've found I look up from my errands and … [Read more...]
How To Make Grilled Pineapple
We had the fam over this weekend for an impromptu backyard barbecue. We leave in a few days to go out of town yet again, so entertaining isn't top on my list of to-dos. But we just whipped up easy stuff... burgers, chicken, salad... and I had a craving for something I've never made before... grilled pineapple. Of course my mom said, "Are you pregnant?" Of course that was the BIGGEST no ever! LOL! But something about it sounded SO good! … [Read more...]
