One of Kora & Logan’s favorite dishes is macaroni & cheese. I do believe if it were up to them, they would eat it every night! Dave and I like mac & cheese too, but we enjoy putting our own spin on it. He likes putting ketchup in his. I like putting chili in mine. We [...]

I love soup, especially in the winter. It’s always a great way to warm up on a cold day. For awhile I was eating a can of soup every evening for dinner. One day I decided to be adventurous and try to make my own soup and noodles at home. I thought the noodles might [...]
Christmas morning I like to make foods that are easy to eat. While the kids are in a flurry of opening gifts, the adults grab a plate of food and munch while enjoying the excitement. We’ve found that since we aren’t sitting around a table, handheld foods work best. So when recently I made the [...]

As a busy mom, I’m often on the lookout for quick and easy dinners that are flavorful and filling. I love one pot meals. They always make for easy preparation, cooking, and clean-up is a breeze. I also enjoy using Betty Crocker’s boxed potatoes. I usually use them as a side dish, but decided recently [...]
One of our favorite winter dishes is chili. We enjoy trying all different kinds from the traditional, to turkey, and even white chicken chili. Usually we cook our chili in the crock pot, but the other night we were in the mood for an easy cheesy chili with a tomato twist and hadn’t had a [...]
The last few days the temperature has been in the 30s. This morning when I walked Kora to school, it was snowing, cold, and windy. On days like these, I love to serve soup for dinner. I enjoy making my own soup but it’s so time consuming I don’t do it very often. Thankfully, the [...]
One of my favorite dishes that my mom makes every year is Cheesy Potatoes. I love it because she adds her own spin on it and it’s perfect for those cold winter nights.

When I first met Dave, I was introduced to all kind of Slovakian food I’d never heard of. When his mother first served me halupki, (stuffed cabbage rolls) I was wary. But I’m so glad I gave it a try, it’s now one of my favorite meals! I recently decided to pull out my crockpot [...]
We love applesauce. Between all of us we could go through two big jars a week if we tried. I’ve always wanted to make homemade applesauce but thought it would be too difficult and daunting. I obviously never looked up a recipe. I was short on time today but wanted to try to make some [...]
One of our favorite recipes is pulled pork. We love making pulled pork sandwiches and tacos. We’ve tried pulled chicken but it just doesn’t have the flavor of pulled pork.
