simple recipes, easy clean-up
I feel like I could probably create a whole other blog strictly dedicated to all things birthday party and cake batter, but I’ll move on to some side dishes for you. Sometimes finding a good side dish to go with your meal can be difficult. I’m probably super old school in the fact that I think a dinner plate needs to consist of a main dish, a vegetable, and a starch. One of my favorite starches is a potato. They {Read More}
When it comes to ringing in the New Year, it’s all about the party food. I’m talking Finger Food Appetizers. It’s the best when you can get your guests in and out of the kitchen without having to worry about plates and utensils. Who needs forks and spoons when there are things like toothpicks and fingers. Supply little bites of this and that for your guests to nibble on during your festive party, and you’ll have one happy crowd when the {Read More}
I feel like we just barely started 2012 last week, and now we are thisclose to bidding it farewell. This past year has been incredible. I have met so many wonderful bloggers and have sparked such fantastic friendships. I truly feel blessed to be where I am. Just a couple nights ago we said goodbye to our lovely house in Arizona and packed up all our earthly possessions into a 24 foot trailer. We are spending the Holidays with family in Utah before {Read More}
I love to throw parties at my house, but I don’t like to be stuck in the kitchen preparing a meal for everyone else and totally miss out on the fun. That’s why it’s necessary to host a buffet style type of gathering. One of my favorite types of food spread happens to be a Potato Bar. Just think of how easy it is to throw a bunch of potatoes in the oven and then set out all sorts of {Read More}
Did you know today is National Zucchini Day? Seems fitting, seeing as zucchini plants are bursting in bountiful supply. I do not have a zucchini plant. I did a couple years ago. But it died shortly after producing one measly deformed zucchini. None-the-less, I still love zucchini. It’s a great vegetable to throw in my Mother-in-law’s famous Potato Casserole, to give it a little something extra. Normally her recipe calls for Cream of Chicken Soup, but I substituted that for {Read More}
There is nothing better than fresh and fluffy homemade mashed potatoes. But who really wants to take the time to make them from scratch? It usually involves peeling, cutting, boiling and finally mashing potatoes, which can feel like an eternity when all you want is potatoes. Like right now. If you want fresh and fluffy homemade mashed potatoes in less than 10 minutes, then this recipe is for you! {cause seriously, I am all about quick and easy} There is {Read More}

Welcome to “How To Wednesday”!! Today I have a Baked Potato. I can’t tell you how many times I used to call my mom just to ask her how to bake a potato.

I am so excited to share this post with you guys! I was lucky enough to get chosen to do another 24×24 post by Foodbuzz this month. It’s when 24 featured bloggers all create and share a meal in 24 hours. Since my family is a family full of campers, I thought I would share with you how to eat like kings when you’re camping! So many people associate camping with hot dogs, canned beans, and cold cereal. Well, that’s {Read More}
