Sorry I missed you guys on Monday. I have had a major case of writer’s block and I’ve been kind of lame and haven’t tried a whole lot of new recipes lately. I did make these delicious little bundles of Prosciutto Wrapped Asparagus last week and they were a huge hit. When Joel saw me

Crock Pot Refried Beans
So for the life of me, I hadn’t been able to make good refried beans. Every attempt had come out bland, thick and pastey…definitely not what you want in refried beans. But, no worries because I finally found the one! Sometimes it takes a lot of time and many epic fails to find the recipe
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.

Honey Balsamic Roasted Carrots
These Honey Balsamic Roasted Carrots are holiday and weeknight perfection. They are tangy and slightly sweet. We have been all about carrots lately. They are a great vegetable to have on hand since they last forever and you can prepare them in all kinds of ways. My mom has always hated cooked carrots and her
Creamy Macaroni Salad
I just love picnic food so it should be no surprise that I just love when Memorial Day rolls around because it means that picnic food is here and not going anywhere for a few glorious months! What could be better than cold fried chicken, lemonade and macaroni salad? Not a whole lot in my book.
Grilled Zucchini
I don’t like a whole lot of vegetables but the ones that I do enjoy I totally love. And zucchini is one of those vegetables. I could probably eat it every day. I love grilled zucchini but I usually had trouble preparing it. I used to slice it into bite size chunks, place it in
