I thought I would post a Halloween recipe that isn’t going to give you a sugar high. So many Halloween and autumn recipes are sweet and sugary, which is in the spirit of the holiday, but you still need to eat dinner, right? This recipe was delicious! I usually don’t really like bell peppers, but…

Layered Banana Cake
A few weeks ago, my husband and I were both doing our own thing in the same room. I think I was actually just sitting there pondering and he was putting away dishes or something productive. I was deep in thought and after quite awhile of silence, I loudly announced, “I want to make a…
White Bean Kale Soup
My husband loves vegetables. He has never met a vegetable he didn’t like. Sadly, I have. I like most veggies, but I’m not a fan of eggplant. It makes my mouth tingle and itch. (Does that mean I’m allergic to it? I don’t know.) I am picky about my tomatoes, celery, and onions. They have…
Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers
The other day my husband and I used up a gift card to the Macaroni Grill. We ordered the Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers. They were absolutely divine! The goat cheese wasn’t too strong and the peppers were sweet and soft. I decided to make my own version of this fancy appetizer. PRINTABLE RECIPE Ingredients:…
Black Bean and Corn Quinoa Salad
Last week some friends invited us over for dinner and we offered to bring a side dish. I had no idea what I was going to make, even when I started making this. I had a nice new bag of tri color quinoa, so I started cooking that, not knowing where I was going to…
Mango Lassi
I have to admit, I didn’t actually know what a mango lassi was until last summer. Never even heard of it. Then one day I went to an Indian buffet that had endless mango lassi as part of the buffet. I think that was all I ate at the buffet. Glass after glass of the…
Hummus
As I have mentioned before, I am married to a lover of beans (I consider chickpeas to be beans). My hubby loves beans and I know that if he cooks dinner I can almost expect there to be beans and lots of veggies. He has been begging me to make hummus for some time now,…
Greek Salad Pita Pockets and Tzatziki Dressing
Summer is in full swing in Columbus, Ohio, and I am in the mood for something fresh! I am in the mood to make dinner without turning on the stove or the oven! This meal can go two ways. You can stuff the salad in a pita pocket or you can eat the salad as…
Trix Marshmallow Treats: A Week of Marshmallow Treats
Silly Rabbit. This post is almost exactly like my first post in “marshmallow treats week”. The only difference is that I used Trix cereal instead of Reese’s Puffs. These “treats’” are great for kids because they are so colorful and bright. It makes me happy to look at them. How could these treats not…
Reese's Puff’s Marshmallow Treats: A Week of Marshmallow Treats
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: I love Rice Krispie Treats! They are on my top 5 list of favorite foods (along with ice cream, cheesecake, sushi, and Philly cheese steak….oh, and gummy bears. I guess that make six, but I can’t decide which one to demote off my top 5…
