I don't watch a whole lot of TV, but "Chopped" on the Food Network has always been a favorite of mine. I've never had any real desire to actually be on the show, because I like to cook at a much more leisurely pace than would be needed to actually finish in the time allotted. But when Sargento® asked me if I would like to do a recipe for their Chopped at Home promotion, I thought it sounded like a lot of fun, so I happily said yes. After all, no one would be holding a timer over my head, and I ... Read More about Chicken Fajita Couscous Dinner Bowls

Gardening all Year with AeroGarden
This is a sponsored post from Kitchen PLAY and Miracle-Gro AeroGarden, but all opinions are my own. In an ordinary year, I would be feeling kind of bummed out about growing anything this time of year. A couple of killing frosts have just about taken out the garden, with the exception of a few cold weather hardy souls like kale and Brussels sprouts. I have a big prostrate rosemary plant that I keep in the kitchen window, and I do sprouts on and off all winter, but for the most part, growing ... Read More about Gardening all Year with AeroGarden

So recently, when Tasty Bite asked me to try some of their products and write a post about them, I admit that I hesitated at first. But, then, I went and checked them out, and what I found out persuaded me that I might be missing out on something, so I agreed to see what they had to offer. I am really glad that I did! First though ... Read More about Tasty Bite makes a tasty meal!
Chipotle Chicken, Black Beans and Rice
Family meals have always been important to us. When the girls were younger, it was a satisfying feeling to all gather at the table to share some great food and lay the rest of the world aside for a bit. Even when they got a little older, and might have been inclined to be off doing their own thing, attendance at the dinner table was a must. I'm happy to say that they learned to cook at home as well - mostly from scratch, using great ingredients and recipes that have stood the test of time in our ...
