Happy Easter everyone! I played Easter bunny yesterday and made some cute treats to give to my little cousins today. (Oh yeah, I’m home in Massachusetts for a last minute visit!) These treats were inspired by Love From The Oven, a super cute baking blog. You’ll need a box of rice krispie treats, frosting, red…

Stir-Fried Honey-Ginger Chicken with Peppers
This Stir-Fried Honey-Ginger Chicken with Peppers is an easy weeknight meal that comes together quickly with only a few ingredients. It’s simple but the sweet sauce makes it extra delicious. Guess what? I finally got to cook dinner in my new kitchen! We closed down the grill for one night and I dirtied a million…
Blueberry Muffin Baked Oatmeal
This Blueberry Muffin Baked Oatmeal is a great make-ahead breakfast that’s easy to meal prep. Packed with fiber and healthy fats, it will keep you full all morning! I haven’t been very creative with breakfast lately, so I decided to change that this morning. Blueberry muffins are one of my go-to’s, but (depending on how…
Grilled Pizza… on Homemade Dough

We had some salmon to put on the grill, and I wanted to do something different with it. I remembered having a bourbon glazed salmon in a restaurant before, and since I knew…
Spicy Hummus
When I asked Nick what he wanted from the grocery store this week, he requested “healthy snacks,” which is not a request I usually get from him. Healthy snacks to me means vegetables, but I knew he wouldn’t eat them plain. My sister, Jaki, went on a homemade hummus kick not too long ago, so…
Buffalo Chicken Burgers
Most of you know by now that Nick and I just moved from a tiny apartment into a nice big house. We had to give up sunny, sandy Florida for Oklahoma, but I can’t say I miss that old apartment even the slightest bit. Along with a house comes the acquisition of a back yard….
