Ever since I saw Maria’s recipe for homemade soft pretzel bites, I have wanted to try my hand at them. But just like with all sweets and snacks, I needed to have a purpose for making them–otherwise Kevin and I would (and could!) eat them all ourselves. NOT good. :) Teenagers are always the best […]
Creamy, Tangy Avocado Dip Recipe
Kevin and I were a bit skeptical about the combination of yogurt and avocado, but with 5 fresh avocados in the house, we thought, “Why not?!” Boy are we glad we put on our grown-up-pants and tried Maria’s recipe!

In a last ditch effort to save a batch of pizza dough, I decided to work with smaller amounts of the dough and create pizza bites!

Refried Beans Recipe {from dry pintos}
I have become a big fan of refried beans–especially now that Kevin and I have, what we call, “Mexican fiesta” at least once a week. I make a quick batch of pico de gallo and guacamole. We doctor up a can of refried beans. He grabs the chips and sour cream. And we’re off to deliciousness! […]
Baked Summer Squash Fries
With the abundance of squash in this summer’s harvest, I wanted a fun way to incorporate the vegetable into our evening meal.
