Do you watch the Super Bowl? I feel like most people do, even if they aren’t football fans. The commercials are usually funny. Lots of people watch it just for the half-time show. I enjoy the Super Bowl for a couple reasons. First, I love the excuse to make a bunch of food and hang …
Pi Day is this coming Saturday. I love making some sweet pies for us to eat on that day. But it is fun to spread the pie love throughout the day. Try a quiche for breakfast or brunch. Pizza “pie” for lunch or dinner. Or a pot pie. Make it a party – even with …
February is also National Snack Food Month, so it’s a great time to change up your snack routine and find some healthier options. I’ll be sharing a few over the course of the next weeks. Today is sweet potato tots. I have a strange confession – I have never seen Napoleon Dynamite. But I know …
Last week, I talked about my 4 “F”‘s. Today’s recipe can highlight at least 3 of them. And it is National Soup Month, so soup/stew recipe seemed appropriate! Fresh – I use a ton of fresh vegetables here. I’ve made many variations on this recipe as well, based on what veggies I have on hand …

Confession: I love sweet potatoes. Maybe even more than regular potatoes. But I prepare them about 3 ways: mashed with brown sugar, casserole, or roasted as fries. And I have never felt bad about that. Those three are delicious, so why fix something that isn’t broken? After my second baby was born, I rediscovered stuffed …
Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away! November is just flying. I’ve got several more recipes I think should grace your table for the holiday weekend. This vegetable bake is definitely different from your standard Thanksgiving starch. It definitely wouldn’t replace potatoes on your table, if that is what you are looking for. But it …
I can’t believe it is almost Labor Day. Summer is really ending. I hope you have one last cookout or picnic planned for the weekend. If you do, liven up your meal with this sweet potato salad. While it is great anytime, it is the perfect transition from summer to fall. Enjoy! Sweet Potato Salad …
Pancake Day is next Tuesday. Even though I don’t participate in Lent, I can appreciate any excuse to eat pancakes. Since my little girl asks for “pancakes with dip” almost anytime I ask her what she wants to eat, I know she will enjoy the holiday too. Our family does breakfast for dinner once a …
