Butternut Squash, Yam & Chicken Soup

Now that fall is here, I think it’s time for a soup recipe.  I had some leftover chicken and fresh thyme from the Roast Chicken recipe I posted recently. There’s always an ample supply of butternut squash and yams this time of year, so I added those ingredients to the soup as well. I threw a few…

Raspberry Oreo Coffee Creamer

Unless I’m battling morning sickness in my first few months of pregnancy, it’s very rare to see me in the morning without a cup of coffee nearby. It’s such a common sight at my house that my toddler can already say “coffee” as she points to my mug. I’m sure I’m not the only one out…

Minecraft Birthday Party Ideas

Every year I say I’m not going to go too crazy with birthday parties, but sometimes I just can’t seem to help myself. This year, Cole asked if he could have a Minecraft party for his 8th birthday. My initial thought was, “Alright!! This is going to be easy – he’ll have a few friends over to…

Chicken and Mango Flatbread #Pulocuisine

You may recognize this flatbread, because I gave you a glimpse of it in my post about the Get Cooking Challenge, where I mentioned that I got a new toaster oven. This flatbread – or pizza, or whatever you want to call it – was one of the first things I tried in it. Wow, was it ever…

Turkey Enchilada Pasta

Mexican food has got to be my favourite food.  No wait – make that Italian food – because I love pasta so much. It’s just too hard to decide…or it was, until I had this enchilada pasta. It’s the best of both worlds! This is a great weeknight one-pot meal. It’s easy to make, and with turkey and shredded…

Zucchini Blueberry Muffins

I know, I know – I already posted a zucchini muffin recipe this summer (Chocolate Cherry Zucchini Muffins), but these zucchini blueberry muffins were too good not to share. And I figure there are a lot of you with an overabundance of zucchini right now who would be grateful for finding a new and delicious…

Back to School with Stuck on You {Giveaway}

How is it possible that summer’s almost over? It always goes by much too quickly. Now I have to start thinking about school supplies, and new clothes, and homework, and after school activities, and packing lunches, and my head feels like it’s going to explode!  Luckily, we’re prepared for lunches because Stuck on You provided the…

Asian Chicken Drumsticks

I’m a frugal grocery shopper, so when I see chicken drumsticks on sale, I grab a lot of them. They’re much cheaper than most other parts of the chicken, but can be just as tasty. I usually just sprinkle a little seasoning salt on them and bake them, but that gets pretty boring after a while. When I saw a…

Counting Sheep Coffee helps you sleep

When I heard about this coffee called Counting Sheep that claims to actually help you fall asleep, I had to try it.  You might have noticed that I like coffee a little bit. Okay…a lot.  I’d drink it all day long if I could, but unfortunately it keeps me up if I drink it in the evening….
