This Basil Couscous Salad with Citrus Roasted Chicken may be a simple recipe but there is nothing simple about its bold flavor! Thanks to Bertolli for sponsoring this recipe. It always seem like once fall approaches that the rest of year flies by, have you ever felt that way? Schedules get crazy for those with kids going back to school, the next thing you know it's holiday time and then suddenly it's New Year's and you're wondering where the 2nd half of the year went! One way to stay sane during those crazy times is to meal plan and to include LOTS of simple recipes in the meal plan. When I say simple, I don't mean boring! With minimal quality ingredients (with maximum flavor!) and Continue Reading
Bloody Mary Bar To-Go
This Bloody Mary Bar To-Go is the perfect carry along to take to your next party, picnic or even tailgate! Thank you to Master of Mixes for sponsoring this post. T minus 2 weeks until the start of the college football season! In case you ever need an updated countdown, we have a chalkboard sign counting down the days until the first Buckeye game. Nothing says fall like football and tailgating. And no tailgate is complete without a delicious Bloody Mary. A Bloody Mary bar and football are like baseball and Cracker Jacks... they are just perfect together. So you're probably thinking, how the heck do you transport a Bloody Mary bar to a tailgate? I struggled with that very Continue Reading
Put an Egg on It: Delicious and Protein Packed Breakfast Recipes with Eggs
These 19 delicious breakfast recipes featuring eggs are a great start to any day. Hey friends, happy hump day! I have to tell you about such an awesome experience I had recently (which prompted this egg-a-palooza). I was invited to spend a couple of days with the Ohio Poultry Association and it was so much fun. I'm already a fan, but learning more about egg nutrition, Ohio egg farms and picking up some cool egg hacks (that's a whole other post!) has re-ignited my eggy love. Did you realize that 1 egg contains 13 essential nutrients, 6 grams of protein and only 70 calories? That's a lot of goodness in just 1 little egg, right?! Due to very high health and safety standards for the Continue Reading

Watermelon Mint Vodka Gimlet Recipe
My Watermelon Mint Vodka Gimlet Recipe is sponsored by Master of Mixes. As always, the ideas and opinions shared are all mine. Hello friends! If you’re a regular friend here you probably know by now that I'm a fan of a tasty libation. As a fan, I'm embarrassed to admit that I only recently discovered that a gimlet can be made with vodka as opposed to gin (a fan of gin I am not). Once I discovered this, a gimlet has risen into my top 5 favorite cocktails and this Watermelon Mint Vodka Gimlet is currently coming in at #1. After discovering my newfound appreciation of the classic gimlet cocktail, I decided to give it some summer flair by mixing it with Master of Mixes Watermelon Continue Reading

The great thing about this early taste of summer we had is that I was inspired to create these Coconut Mango Ice Cream Bars with my Continue Reading
