My kids are constantly hungry. It would be odd if more than a couple hours go by that they don’t ask for a snack. While fruit is one of their number one favorite snacks, they love almost anything crunchy or cheesy. Yes, I realize that these are made with butter and cheese and are not…
Lightened-Up Turkey Meatballs
I am back on a kick to get my kids to eat more veggies. Boy they can be soooo picky! Today I share a healthier meatball with you. How is a meatball related to veggies you ask? Well you add the veggies into the meat, duh! I love meatballs, I really do. I make them…

Moving Update & a Recipe: Japanese-Style Guacamole
Hello friends! It has been 10 days since we left our home in Missouri and we’ve been living in hotels ever since. We just got to the Seattle area 3 days ago and are quickly looking for a house to rent. We will be living here for at least 3 years so we want to…

Cilantro-Jalapeno Hummus
I picked up a package of these The Better Chip Jalapeno flavored corn chips at the commissary a couple months ago. I fell in love- they are awesome! Little chunks of real jalapeno lace the crisp and thick corn chip. So I was super excited to receive a sampler assortment in the mail to review….
Greek Salad Bites
One of the things I will miss most about moving is our monthly Bunco group. It’s such fun girls night out and so convenient because most of us live on post so we aren’t driving more than a few miles. We each bring a dish to share, booze and a $10 gift to exchange after…
Cheese Glorious Cheese & Meal Planning
Forgive me again for a few quiet weeks of blogging. We just got back from vacation and now our move to Seattle is quickly approaching (about 5 weeks away). I am motivated to get these closets cleaned out ahead of time so that I am not scrambling at the last minute. I also have to…
Barbecue Snack Mix
Is Christmas seriously 9 days away!? The time is going by SO fast…there is so much I intended on doing that probably won’t get done. It’s so easy to lose track of the true meaning of Christmas so I have to remind myself that it’s ok if I haven’t crafted, written letters to Santa, bought…
Easy Holiday Appetizer: Homemade Onion Dip
Some of my favorite foods to have around the house during the Holidays are Ruffles and onion dip- in the past it was store-bought onion dip or even just plain light sour cream. It’s weird, but for some reason I associate it with this time of year. It’s not exactly what I’d serve guests but…
