Veggie Stirfry

This veggie stirfy is almost always the meal I make when Joel is working late or has something going on that takes him away at dinner time. I wait until Noah goes to bed then whip this up and eat my dinner in peace all by myself! As much as I love those boys of

Easy and Delicious Stromboli

I live in a house full of boys who love pizza. And I mean LOVE. Now don’t get me wrong, I like pizza as much as the next person but it can get a little old and boring sometimes (at least the kind of pizza Joel likes). So I like to mix up our pizza

Tiramisu

Whenever we have something big happen in our house, I like to make a big, fancy meal to celebrate. Joel’s first day at his new job was on Monday so I had consulted him about what he wanted for dinner (filet mignon, twice baked potatoes and caesar salad) but I wanted to surprise him with dessert.

Gingerbread Granola {Christmas Tray 2012}

As you can tell, I kind of have a thing for granola (and I have passed it on to Noah). We got addicted to all of Trader Joe’s granola but since we never had a TJ’s in town (until now) I always liked to make it homemade to snack on. We like it plain, vanilla flavored and especially

Creamy Cheesy Potatoes

Life has been hectic around here but good. We painted rooms this past weekend. I should post before and after pictures….Noah’s room used to be camouflage sponge painted…NOT.GOOD. We are working on a navy blue and white chevron feature wall instead. Much better. I’m going to keep this short so I can get back to business. These

Cap’n Crunch Chicken

I love any kind of chicken that is breaded. It’s pretty much my favorite as evidenced here and here. So, when I saw this recipe I got really excited and thought it would be a big hit in my house. When I told Joel about it, he wasn’t so sure. He thought it sounded weird and was
