Roasted Garlic Vinaigrette

I made an amazing salad last night (you can find it here) and I needed the perfect dressing to go with it. I have to admit, I am normally a bottled salad dressing kind of girl but lately I have been making my own and it’s crazy how easy it is. Not only that, but

Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies

I’m pretty sure I’m growing a little foodie. The peanut is active all day long but after I eat it is a whole different story. I swear he/she is doing flips, jumps, leg kicks and fist pumps whenever I consume something. And it doesn’t matter what it is, I always get a happy dance from

Pepperoni Sauce

Have you ever done something that you immediately regret? I am usually a pretty cautious person and think things through but lately I’ve been having some blonde moments. I call pregnancy brain.

Potato Chips

Happy Memorial Day! I hope you all are having a wonderful day that is filled with family, friends and barbeque. I have a major problem when it comes to potato chips. I completely lack self control and I could literally sit down and eat this entire bowl at once. I didn’t, but it was gone by the end

Memorial Day Roundup

First I want to start off by saying thank you to each and every person, past and present, that has served this country and especially those that have sacrificed their lives to protect our freedom. I’ve mentioned before that my dad served in the Air Force for 20 years and I will be forever grateful

Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola Squares

We are heading to Fargo on Friday to visit our old stomping grounds and I’m really excited! It’s been 5 months since we moved and although I’m finally starting to feel at home here, I still really miss our first home. And I’m totally ready to eat some delicious food including pizza, burgers and doughnuts….I
