Cheesy and Creamy Baked Spaghetti Squash

By Tiffany

Have you ever tried spaghetti squash? There was a time that I completely avoided this section of the grocery store specifically because I didn’t know what in the world to do with a squash, no matter the variety. What would it look like when I cut into it? It seemed too laborious to cut and…

Creamy Corn Chowder with Potatoes and Jalapeno

Hi friends! I don’t know about where you live, but in Indiana, it’s not often that you get a Hurricane Alert on your phone! Late last week I saw an alert pop up for Tropical Storm Gordon and the weather soon changed to gloomy with loads of rain and the chill of Fall was in…

Fast and Fresh Vegetable Quinoa Bowl

By Tiffany
Fast and Fresh Vegetable Quinoa Bowl

Bowls are kind of a thing right now. Ever had a grain bowl or a broth bowl? Some have funny names like Buddha bowls and poke bowls and people are even eating their smoothies from bowls. I am not one of these people. It’s my opinion that you should only need a spoon if you’re…

The Best Banana Bread Ever!

By Tiffany
The Best Banana Bread Ever!

Here’s the deal, guys. I’m not a baker. I thoroughly enjoy baked treats, but I’m just not the best at making them. Cooking is great for me because I can just throw things together and if it tastes good, I can fine tune the recipe and share it with you. Baking requires science, which means…

Who doesn’t love some good nachos every once in a while? My husband and I found ourselves home alone for a night last weekend and decided we would stay in and watch a movie. We were both in the mood for comfort food and after lots of flipping through Pinterest, we decided to have pub…

There’s pasta salad and then there’s *this* orzo pasta salad loaded with vegetables and feta. This is the real deal!

Watermelon Arugula Feta Salad with Honey Garlic Vinaigrette

It’s been hot and feeling like summer, which means it’s watermelon season around here! I don’t know about you, but I tend to eat a little less in the summer when it’s really hot. While I love the warmer weather and wouldn’t trade it for anything, I like to remain cool! Sometimes food can be…

Lemon Pepper Angel Hair Pasta with Asparagus

It’s Spring and the asparagus looks great in the grocery stores in Indiana! Seeing this beautiful asparagus had me inspired to do something with these beauties this week. My husband and I love asparagus…the kids, not so much. I ask that they taste everything that I prepare, but if it’s something I know they don’t…

Creamy Peanut Soba Noodles with Broccoli

We’re peanut butter lovers in our house, how about you? I sometimes go months without having a good old-fashioned peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and when I finally do, I can’t remember why I waited so long! I remember from childhood coming home from school, making a sandwich and then running outside to play with…

Garlic and Thyme Roasted Butternut Squash

I love butternut squash and think that roasting brings out its best flavor. Truth is, I’ll eat it any old way it’s prepared, but this is my favorite.

Zucchini Noodle and Mushroom Stir Fry

Zucchini Noodle and Mushroom Stir Fry

Have you tried ZOODLES?! I jumped on the bandwagon and ordered a spiralizer last year and it’s quite a tool! Mine, for less than $20, turns vegetables into several types/sizes of noodles that make food not only fun, but really give you so many options! Making an Asian-inspired noodle dish out of zucchini? OK…I’m in!…
