SAVE THAT TURKEY CARCASS at the end of your Thanksgiving dinner this Thursday. You can use it to make a big batch of turkey stock, which you can then freeze in 2-cup increments so that you can make this soup for months to come. My mother-in-law’s soup is incredibly simple to make, but it’s so good […]

Fruit and vegetable breads are one of my absolute favorite ways to sneak healthy food into my kids’ tummies without them even knowing it. I’ve tried dozens of recipes and I have to say that this chocolate zucchini bread is hands down the best bread I’ve ever made. Not only does it taste like a […]

Earlier this month, I agreed to make a special reading-themed snack for Punky’s class on the day they took the reading portion of their standardized tests. At a complete loss, I turned to Pinterest– and found these adorable bookworms. They took some time to put them together, but the end result was fabulous– –and they’d […]

I made these muffins for my daughter’s birthday sleepover last weekend and they were a perfect breakfast treat. Not too sweet, not too rich, moist, and delicious right out of the oven. The ingredients and prep are simple, too, which is important when you’re not a morning person! Ahem! One note- Be very careful if […]

I tried these HEALTHY, oven-baked french fries last weekend and OMG, y’all. I am spoiled for life. I’d put these fries up against the ones from Five Guys any day. BRING IT. And yet, they’re so much better for you than anything you’d get in a restaurant. But don’t take my word for it. Try […]

Food confession: I may have become a little bit obsessed with Beef Stroganoff. Seeing recipes for it over the years, it seemed like it SHOULD be delicious. Thin strips of beef. Egg noodles. A sour cream-based sauce. Mmmmm. I tried several different recipes for it, though, and it was never all that special. Undaunted, I […]

I got to make these fish tacos in the Betty Crocker test kitchen a couple of years ago and they’ve been a dinner staple ever since. You will not BELIEVE how easy and DELICIOUS they are. Every single member of my family loves them and they only take a few minutes to put together! INGREDIENTS […]

INGREDIENTS 1/3 cup sugar 1/4 cup butter, softened to room temp 1 egg 2 1/3 cup AP flour 4 teaspoons baking […]

Oh, Y’ALL. I was not at all convinced that my kids would eat these Zucchini Chips when I saw the recipe. But after reading that they had gotten RAVES from other kids, I decided to give them a whirl — and I’m so glad I did! These are magnificent. They are super-easy to make, healthy, […]
