My Grain-Free Boys & Tips for Feeding Toddlers

I can’t believe my youngest son is 6 months old!  Like every parent says, “Time just flies by!”  He is such a happy baby, and every time I turn around, there seems to be a new “first.” Watching him roll over or discover his toes has been so much fun! Unfortunately, he hasn’t mastered sleeping…

It’s Taco Tuesday! Sometimes Tuesday feels like Monday and I need something Quick for dinner!  Tacos are the perfect solution!  I will NEVER buy the packs of seasoning again when I can easily, cheaply, and healthfully (I know this may not be a word, ha!) make my own! Make a salad or use a  romaine lettuce…

Labor Day Cookout MUST Have Recipes

One of my favorite foods is BBQ! To me, this is pulled pork with BBQ sauce. To some the term “BBQ” means anything you throw on the grill. Whatever you call it, I love the opportunity to grill meat. I usually have my husband do it so it gives me a break from cooking!  I…

Cajun House Seasoning

Every house needs a great, all-purpose seasoning blend and this is mine!  This is a modified version of the Melissa’s Cajun Seasoning from the Satisfying Eats Cookbook.  The major difference is the addition of Smoked Paprika.  I LOVE Smoked Paprika!!  If you don’t have or don’t want to use smoked paprika, simply omit it!  Or…

New-tella Chocolate Hazelnut Butter

My first experience with Nutella happened about 5 years ago. The container below is the first and last jar I ever purchased.  I had heard others talk about how good it was and I had seen the commercial stating it was made with “hazelnuts, skim milk and a touch of cocoa.” Sounds good, right??? Oh,…

Extra Zesty Ranch Dressing

I LOVE ranch dressing, but ONLY if it is homemade.  Homemade ranch is so easy, and after I show you the ingredients in the store bought stuff, you will NEVER buy it again! They should call it “The Hidden Valley of Questionable Ingredients” after taking a look at the label. Hidden Valley Ranch Ingredients: Vegetable oil,…

REAL Watermelon Snow Cones (Granita)

This is the PERFECT thing to eat on days like today in Louisiana!  After making the REAL Watermelon Jell-O a few weeks ago,  I still had leftover watermelon in the fridge.
