The World's Best Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
It's pretty bold to state that anything is the world's best... but this is one bold cookie! Today I share my decades-old recipe for one of mine and my family's favorite cookie flavors-- oatmeal chocolate chip! With some added pizazz for Valentine's Day coming up too, there's no better time to get your baking on! So don your oven mitts, and I can't wait to see what you guys create!
Sweet and Savory Prosciutto Crostini
Want an easy game day appetizer?? This is it. Whether you are hosting a fancy dinner or sitting on the sofa cheering on your favorite team, this quick and easy appetizer will be a total hit. But... be forewarned... they may be addictive. You can’t just have one. You may have three. Or like me, perhaps 5 will do the trick. Yeah... I said it. I did it.
Buffalo Bacon Wrapped Tater Tot Bites
Super Bowl Sunday is JUST around the corner and if you haven't set your eyes on your rockstar game day appetizer quite yet, look no further! Today, I show you a new recipe for my twist on tater tot bombs: Buffalo Bacon Wrapped Tater Tot Bites! These were so yummy that my kids started grabbing them by the handful! Paired with them, I make a Feta Cheese Sour Cream Ranch to dip! Can't wait to see this be a part of your football chow down!
My Next Best: Creamy Greek Tzatziki
I made the most amazing “gyros” with leftover ribeye last night. No one could get enough of this aromatic and savory creation! We were immediately transported to the Greek islands. (Which luckily helped being in all this snow sleet and cold!) But there was another ingredient in this amazing pita wrap that it just wouldn’t be complete without. It was homemade tzatziki. Creamy yogurt and sour cream with a touch of lemon and dill. More please! The cucumbers were a snap to shred and the dill with the mint were a match made in heaven. Everything came together beautifully.
Tex-Mex Cheesy Enchilada Bake

Last Minute Gourmet Tomato Soup
Good evening, everyone! It’s been a crazy week, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t come up with this recipe… literally tonight. But it turned out so good so why not pass it on?? It’s a cold and dreary night too, so I looked in my pantry for some soup ingredients! I got my hands on some Cambell’s tomato soup and I thought, “How can I make canned soup seem more gourmet?” A couple flavorful ingredients later, and my kids couldn’t tell it came from an aluminum can!
Puff Pastry Pizza Pockets
We went to the back of the fridge for this one, but it turned out fabulous! Today, we made pizza pockets with some puff pastry we had on hand, and paired it with a super easy marinara dipping sauce! The perfect school-night dinner, and the perfect recipe to get your kids involved! Hope you all enjoy!
How to Make your Cuban Sandwich Scream "WOW"
Hello foodies! I find myself once again wanting to share another quick and easy family favorite recipe. (I’m nothing but a giver, as you all know). A few years ago, I purchased a couple panini presses for a party and we use them every chance we get. We love sandwiches. We love cheese. And to press amazing ingredients together to create a winning combination with these two things just makes all of us happy. And, of course, knowing how I like to shake things up a bit, I added a couple of twists to a traditional Cuban sandwich of my own. I switched out the bread and added some bacon. And provolone cheese instead of Swiss? Why not!

The Greatest Cookbook I've Ever Purchased
I recently got my hands on a cookbook that I found while reading a food magazine… go figure. But, as soon as I looked over some of the recipes that the book featured, I immediately got addicted. To Thai food, that is. And bookmarking recipes I need to try.
