Savory Tortilla Chips

May 17th, 2013 - by

Homemade baked tortilla chips are fun to make and much healthier than their fried counterparts. This recipe provides a savory twist on an old favorite.

Adding a few simple spices to your baking chips is a great way to add some flare to traditional style tortilla chips and becomes an unexpected complement to your preferred dip or salsa. I love making these chips to go with Mango Guacamole, Black Bean Dip, Restaurant Style Salsa, Creamy Avocado Yogurt Dip, and Queso Dip. They really are good with just about everything!

I love to eat fresh vegetables, and to add a little unique flavor to a vegetable that I wouldn’t normally think of.  I love the combination of freshly cooked green beans with sliced almonds and sesame.  It is the perfect addition to your meal!

Garlic Asparagus

One thing I love about spring, besides the strawberries, is the asparagus. I didn’t have a lot of asparagus growing up, but I’m making up for that now!!

I’m a believer that simple is usually the best. This recipe lets the flavor of the asparagus shine. The garlic and lemon juice highlight the fresh asparagus, making this a perfect side dish!

Easy Red Berry Eton Mess

May 15th, 2013 - by

This dessert was created on a day when I promised my children a fancy dessert after dinner, but didn’t have time to run to the store.  Using leftover  Trader Joe’s vanilla meringues from my daughter’s birthday party (they were a hit by the way), frozen berries, freezer jam and homemade whipped cream, an easy eton mess came together in a cinch!

Smoked Mozzarella Pasta Salad

May 14th, 2013 - by

It’s becoming that time of year where backyard barbecues are in full force, and potlucks are on the agenda.  I love this pasta salad, it has such a unique smoky flavor from the smoked mozzarella, that makes it really stand out!

The addition of fresh spinach and roasted red peppers really helps complete the salad.

Strawberry Muffins

Please tell me that I’m not the only one who has been totally strawberry obsessed this season.  I seriously cannot get enough of them.  And they have been so good this year.  Perfectly sweet.

As much as I love just eating them raw, I decided to do some baking with them.  And since I am as obsessed with muffins as I am with strawberries, I thought they’d be the perfect combination!  These muffins turned out so good – I couldn’t keep my hands off of them!

Berry Tasty Breakfast Cups

Mother’s Day is right around the corner!!

I know that, as a mother, I dream of breakfast in bed, flowers, and drawings from my children.  It really is  a time that I love to sit back and think about what a blessing it is to have my 3 beautiful children.

Every mother’s day, my mom plans a big dinner to invite everyone over for so that all of her daughters and daughter in law don’t have to cook dinner that night. (I know – it doesn’t make total sense since she is a mother, too!!) But since dinner is already taken care of, the husbands and kids get to take care of breakfast, right?

recipe: easy bbq pulled pork sliders

May 2nd, 2013 - by

Now that the weather is finally warming up, picnics, barbecues, and summer get togethers are on their way soon!  I recently made these yummy barbecue pork sliders for my son’s second birthday party, and they were so easy to make for a large crowd, and they turned out to be very tasty especially on the pretzel rolls from Costco!
