Some of my blogging friends and I have joined together to “Celebrate Green and Welcome Spring.” We’re sharing dishes featuring naturally green ingredients. I chose to share Colcannon Cheesy Potatoes with Kale. It’s a fun twist on a classic Irish recipe that I thought would be a great side dish for your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. Continue reading »

I had a blast playing Secret Santa at the office this year!! I always do. This yearly tradition has become a great way to welcome in the holidays, with a bit of mischief and good fun.
The week of Thanksgiving we fill out our Santa wish list, then blind draw who we will secretly spoil the week of our annual company Christmas Party. Last week, that all happened in epic proportion. I drew Nick. Nick, who’s favorite candy is Junior Mints. Continue reading »

Nothing fancy about this Spicy Sausage Cheese Balls recipe. We just had a craving and conveniently had the ingredients on hand. Or so we thought. They’ll be a bonus recipe at the end for Bisquick from scratch. Continue reading »

Pumpkin, pumpkin everywhere. I had to jump in and join the party. Keeping it simple, by taking our most favorite Banana Bread recipe and replacing mashed bananas with pumpkin puree. The result is a Pumpkin Pecan Bread that is super moist, not too pumpkin-y, with subtle hints of cinnamon. Continue reading »

It’s football season, officially Autumn Thyme and we’ve dipped into the low 60’s here in the sunny south. I for one am ready for fall. Bring on apples, pumpkins, soups, stews, chili, comfort food and game day recipes, preferably in the form of hot dips. Hot dips like BBQ Chicken Pizza Dip. Continue reading »

I lay in bed Sunday morning pretending to be asleep. There was a steady rain tapping on the window, the kind that lulls you to sleep. It was not my morning to get up with the dogs (yet if I were already awake when the first bark came would it seem only reasonable that I take them out, even though I did the day before). These are my words, we’re not really score keepers.
I justified my silent stillness by creating recipes in my mind. Savory Egg Stuffed Poblano Peppers nestled on a bed of enchilada sauced white beans. I did not take the dogs out. Continue reading »
