For the past month or so, it seems that every 10 minutes Kora will say she’s hungry. It doesn’t matter if she’s eaten a full meal or if w’eve just set foot out the door. She’s definitely growing! After school she comes home so hungry that she has to eat as soon as she walks [...]
Is your family full of big breakfast eaters? Mine is. Dave, Kora, & Logan all love breakfast. Whether it’s cereal, eggs & bacon, or pancakes drizzled in syrup they all look forward to breakfast and can’t wait to start the day with a big meal. I, on the other hand, am not a big breakfast [...]
As a Hormel Foods Extended Family Blogger I was recently invited to ask questions of Joan Hanson, Test Kitchen Director for Hormel Foods about anything I’d like to know about the company. I thought it was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the brand better. Since I’m always interested in learning about how companies [...]
With Easter right around the corner it brings about fond food memories: chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, ham, and deviled eggs. Truthfully I don’t eat deviled eggs often but every year at Easter I always look forward to them. I thought it would be fun to mix up an old classic by adding bacon and cheddar [...]
The Super Bowl is almost here! Sitting down and watching the Super Bowl is a great way to spend time with friends and family. It’s also the perfect time to try new foods or stick with traditional favorites. We enjoy a mix here in our house. While I enjoy making a few new dishes each [...]
How do you record special moments in your children’s lives? I try to take as many photos and videos as I can. I confess I’m not a scrapbooker. My mom made beautiful scrabooks for us growing up but for some reason that gene didn’t get passed along. Thankfully sometimes I find there are other methods [...]
This time of year it’s fun to make special treats with the kids. Kora & Logan love helping in the kitchen and that’s why the other day I wanted to spend a little time with them making something for the holidays. I wanted it to be simple, easy to clean up, delicious, festive, fun. That’s [...]
One of my biggest challenges every year at Thanksgiving is how to cook the turkey. Thankfully we usually celebrate Thanksgiving at my parents house where my mom is in charge of the turkey and does a great job with it. I do enjoy learning cooking tips & tricks though so if I do decide to [...]
October is one busy month. Not only does it start off with my birthday and end with Halloween, but it’s also National Pizza Month! I just learned that in 1984 Gerry Durnell, founder of Pizza Today magazine, is the man to thank for recognizing my favorite food for an entire month. Gerry chose October because [...]
Did you know that September is “Better Breakfast Month?” Even though it’s near the end of the month I felt compelled to write about it because since school started we’ve been trying to make better breakfasts. Kora & Logan love breakfast especially “fancy” breakfasts like eggs, pancakes, waffles, bacon, etc. However, we always find ourselves [...]
Did you know that August is National Panini Month? Honestly, I’m quite excited about this because it not only gives me an excuse to take the family out to one of our favorite local restaurants, Panini’s, but it also means it’s a great reason to make homemade paninis too. There are many different panini makers [...]
I’ve been a Hormel Foods Extended Family Blogger for awhile now and one of my favorite parts of the program is sharing the ways the company gives back. This month I was excited to learn about the Hormel Foods Kitchen Table Project. The project encourages you to share photos of your kitchen table along with [...]
One of my favorite summer foods is hot dogs. That’s why I was excited to learn that July is National Hot Dog month. Did you know that Americans are expected to eat at least 7 billion hot dogs this summer? That is a lot of hot dogs! In our family we all enjoy our hot dogs a [...]
You may remember a couple of months back I posted a recipe for Pineapple Ham & Cheese Puffs. I’m excited about this recipe because it is super simple and perfect for moms on-the-go. Whether you need a new idea for school lunches or are searching for something different to enjoy over the summer, this sandwich [...]
Last weekend we thought it would be fun to go on a little staycation. We love the Cleveland area and all it has to offer and the weather was beautiful so we decided to head out to one of our favorite local parks and have a picnic. This park is huge and has so much [...]
