That looks pretty good doesn’t it? And no I didn’t take the photograph (one day I hope I’ll be that skilled with a camera!). But I’m about to let you in on little secret….

Ever heard of the site How Sweet it Is? You need to know about it. Read it. Follow it. Laugh your booty off from it, but most of all, cook from it!

I don’t know Jessica. But I HAVE tried a number of her recipes, OH MY GOODNESS YUM! And the kids love ‘em too.

That one in...

{good eats} getting lean with a bit of yum

So I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a few things to work on for myself this year.

One is getting this “pre/during/post/been hanging around too long” baby weight GONE. However, I’ve learned over the past few years, that the way I might have tackled a problem pre-marriage, or pre-kids, or frankly, just in my 20s, is a lot different than I how I can tackle it now.

There’s a number of reasons:

1. I have kids and a husband to focus on and take care of..

2....

I know I told you all about this last year, but really, I am so not kidding on this, unless of course we were just unbelievably lucky last year, but I’m going to guess not. I think it really is just THE.BEST.TURKEY.EVER.

I saw a link on Twitter last November, and followed it to this Maple Brined Grilled Turkey. Since we were hosting last year and I was delegating dishes, I quickly shot an email over to my dad. This recipe looked right up the grill master’s alley. He happily...

{good eats} easy donut holes for monsters

Do you have little monsters in your house? I do. I mean they are cute little monsters. but MAN those fangs can really come out when they want a donut!!

Now I’m not going to say that we eat a lot of donuts in our house (maybe a few) and I’m not going to admit that we have a drive-thru donut shop down the street (we frequently visit) or that the girls have particular donuts they MUST have (purple sprinkles/white frosting, pink sprinkles/white frosting, sprinkled donut holes). Nope, not going to admit any of that....

Let’s just be clear that I’m not a full time food blogger, nor even a part time food blogger, nor even an occasional food blogger, BUT, I do love food and I do like to find new fabulous simple recipes!

However, this is not a place you will ever see perfect food styling or amazing step by step photos, because frankly, my kids wont let me. And I’m lazy (as well as lucky just to get dinner on the table at night – and not in the middle of the day when the light is better…)...
