I apologize that I've been M.I.A. lately, but I have good reason - my family has been in town for almost 2 weeks now so I have been on somewhat of a mini-vacay! My kitchen has most desperately been deprived...our cupboards are bare and our fridge is damn near empty (other than a couple of containers filled with takeout leftovers)! It's really a sad, sad sight!
On top of it, the 3.5 pounds that I lost in the last month and a half, has come back in just a week. How does that happen?! How is it that...

Sweet & Salty Olive Oil Granola Clusters
Just reading the title, I'm sure you're probably thinking this: "Granola? With olive oil in it? Ewww. Gross!" But let me just say that it's the furthest thing from being gross! It's actually really, really good and while you only get a hint of the olive oil flavor, it's fruitiness pairs well with the rest of the ingredients!
The combination of both...

Salsa Chicken
A lot of you are always looking for and asking about good crock pot recipes and unfortunately, I don't have a lot here in my blog. Granted, I've only been at this for a short time but there may only be a couple (or one) that I know of! I'm working on that, so please bear with me!
I actually don't even use my crock pot that often and I have no valid...

Taco Seasoning
If you've been reading this blog even for a short amount of time, you'll know that I'm not a big fan of packaged foods. It's not that I don't ever buy them, use them or eat them, but there are some things that are just better when made from scratch. They taste better, they're better for your health and they're better on your wallet!
I realize that...

Green Velvet Shamrock Whoopie Pies
Let's talk about whoopie! Get your mind out of the gutter people...I'm talking about the kind you eat! It seems that all the craze these days in baking is Whoopie Pies! Hmmm...I even made a rhyme (completely unintentionally, I promise)! There is something nostalgic about these Amish goodies and well, they're good!
Typically the traditional whoopie...

Cumin Dusted Fish with Black Bean & Avocado Salad
Words cannot describe how elated I am about the beautiful weather we are having! I realize that I'm in the South now and that's to be expected, but this is my first Spring here and coming from Michigan, March is typically a yo-yo month. From year to year, you never know if it's going to be nice and sunny with Spring-like weather or really, really...

Baked Oatmeal
Let me first preface this by saying: please don't judge this dish by the picture! It takes an ugly one and I tried to make it pretty to no avail. Okay, moving on....
I don't know why, but I'm not much of a fan of oatmeal. Not the kind you get out of a packet filled cinnamon and apples or a fruit and cream variety (those are actually...

Beautiful Blogs...Part II
Today is finally the day that I announce my last 7 picks for the Beautiful Blogger Award. After much deliberation and consideration, I have chosen (in no particular order) these beautiful blogs:
9. Love & Olive Oil - The blogging duo of Lyndsay and Taylor are beyond dynamic! Not only are they a super cute couple, but their creativity shines both...

Pasta Cordon Bleu
A while ago, Chris decided to take it upon himself to go out and buy some groceries! Now, I really don't have a problem with this except I normally plan out my menu for the week on Sundays. Included in that process is making out my grocery list with everything we need from meats to produce to canned goods to baking supplies. The problem is, however,...

Beautiful Blogs
Well, as you know, I was fortunate enough to have received an award for a Beautiful Blog. Thank you, again, Kate! But the stipulation to receiving that award was I had to hand out 15 additional awards to other bloggers who I felt had beautiful blogs as well. This is something I have definitely been putting off simply because there are too many too...

Kickin' Chili
I'm not a big soup or stew person and I usually only prefer it during the Fall and Winter months. I don't really consider that weird because I think most people feel the same way; however I do know some who could eat soup everyday throughout the entire year! One thing that I probably could eat all year long is Chili. Call me weird, but I love it and...
