I’ve been known to eat a lot of meat.  And by “a lot” I mean a ridiculous amount.  More than my gym-rat of a husband.  If I showed you a picture of my freezer, you wouldn’t really see much else. Written by: Taylor Kiser of Food Faith Fitness I’m pretty good about making sure that …

These No Bake Raspberry Cheesecake Pots are a simple and delicious dessert to make. I saw this photo on foodgawker the other day and thought “mmmm that looks good!” Raspberries were on sale for 77 cents per container (practically a steal!) and I knew it was fate. I was going to make Raspberry Cheesecake Pots for …

Congratulations Alison – you’re the winner of a copy of You Grow Girl and a selection of Burpee seeds! Please email me your mailing address. 🙂 Ask me what my favorite spring vegetable is and I’ll probably tell you asparagus. It’s been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember. I still …

Shredded Pork Tacos are what happens when I decide that the freezer is entirely too full and the 4 lb. pork tenderloin’s (the one that has already been in there a few months, or maybe a few more than a few) time has come to an end. Being me, I didn’t think ahead as well …

These Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers are a great updated Vegetarian Stuffed Pepper version of the classic Stuffed Bell Pepper Recipe. I remember eating stuffed bell peppers as a child. Ours were usually stuffed with a Mexican ground beef, rice and cheese mixture. Consider these Quinoa Stuffed Bell Peppers an updated version of that classic recipe …

I was recently asked if I’d like to try the Tyson Frozen, Grilled & Ready Chicken Strips. While I don’t normally buy these types of convenience foods, this was a product I was interested in testing out. I’ve seen these strips at Costco and wondered if they were worth the price. Sometimes we all need …

Do you have trouble making tender, flaky biscuits? This post is for you! The combination of cake flour and all-purpose flour with the very cold butter in this recipe makes a big difference. I like to use a box grater to grate a stick of frozen butter, as opposed to cutting the butter using other …

Want to know a secret? I make up a lot of my pasta dishes with this basic 3-2-1 formula. It’s probably not a new idea, but it definitely helps me throw different dishes together using what I’ve got on hand. I use this formula a lot. Sometimes when I’m really at a loss with what …

This Valentine’s Day did not turn out nearly as romantic as I had envisioned it, but these things happen. We did enjoy a wonderful dinner , thanks to this recipe for Pasta with Gorgonzola Sauce and Beef Tenderloin, even if our 4 year old was at the table with us, the kitchen was a mess …

My panini press is a very well used kitchen tool. It’s fast and convenient because it heats the sandwich from both sides and the pressing really helps you jam pack the sandwich with delicious ingredients. Some nights when time is rushed, almost anything pressed between two slices of bread can become a fabulous gourmet sandwich …

Pleasant Hill Grain was kind enough to ask me if I’d be interested in testing out one of the pressure cookers they sell. I hadn’t ever used one, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to learn about for a while so I jumped at the chance. The model I received is the 5.0 L Duromatic …

This Baked Potato Soup from Cooking Light was absolutely perfect. It is simple and comes together incredibly fast with inexpensive ingredients. You can cut additional time off the prep if you microwave the potatoes instead of baking them (Related: How to Bake Potatoes). Or, if you’re thinking ahead of time you can wrap the potatoes …

It’s so easy to forget about the foods that don’t look like much, even though they can taste really, really good. Like hit-the-spot kind of good. The kind of good that has you going back for seconds even though you’re already comfortably full. I t’d have to say that lentils are one of those foods. …

This was such a fun and easy breakfast to make for my family. I will go back to this one again and again because of the ease and which it comes together. These Pop Up Muffins, as we called them, also known as German Pancakes are so great for a busy morning when you don’t …

For me, lunch is always the worst meal of the week. I’m home alone with 2 kids, one who in his wildest dreams won’t eat anything that mommy eats. Sometimes Madeline eats what I eat, but not always. I’m just not likely to make a big fuss out of lunch when I’m cooking for one …
