In just a few short weeks, a new class of college students will descend upon campuses across the country. And like teens everywhere, those students will be hungry. And they are going to need optons for quick and easy dorm dinners. Of course, most students will have ready access to a dining hall (or four)…
Today I’m sharing our traditional Christmas Brunch recipe: Spinach and Feta Egg Bake. But before we get to that, can we just talk about cookies for a minute? Have I mentioned that I love cookies? Homemade cookies, specifically. But a really good Italian bakery cookie will do the trick too. That one reason that December…
Today I want to address the elf in the room. You know the one I mean, the infamous Elf on the Shelf who has built himself quite the legion of enemies. I’m not sure what he’s done to deserve the hate. In fact, I have to admit it, it puzzles me what any stuffed toy…
I know it’s going to be a good day when it starts with muffins. Especially these cherry chocolate chip muffins. They are like eating dessert for breakfast. Now I’m going to be honest . . . there’s nothing healthy about these muffins. Often my muffin recipes use white whole wheat flour, natural sweeteners, fruit, and…

One of my favorite things about Disney World is the Mickey Waffles. Okay, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but I do love those waffles. They are light and fluffy and so delicious. How they manage to mass produce such a delicious waffle in what’s essentially a food court kitchen is beyond me. Or rather it…
This is one of our favorite family recipes. It wasn’t the recipe I planned on posting this week, but my daughter Kelly said it was time. “This is the best recipe you make, Mom. You’ve got to post it.” So here it is. Don’t be surprised if this easy ciabatta bread recipe quickly become your…
One of my favorite foods Is Greek yogurt. It’s creamy, tangy, and delicious. I also love that you can use it in so many ways–like this ‘it only looks fancy” nut free breakfast parfait. Of course, you can eat it plain or drizzled with a little bit of honey, add to recipes in place of…
The Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins take me way back to my very first blog. It was called Miles, Muffins, and Memories. I shared all the [painful] steps on my journey to completing my first half marathon, lots of muffin recipes, and the fun memories I was creating with my then young children. My children aren’t…
