Fourth of July is perhaps one of my most favorite holidays of the year.

Greek Veggie Pizza Appetizer

With cookouts gearing up, I’ve been on the lookout for some lighter and healthier recipes…recipes with more fresh fruits and veggies (like this Fruit Trifle), but that don’t lack in taste. I personally tend to gravitate towards Greek inspired recipes that use tomatoes, cucumbers, feta cheese, kalamata olives, etc. so I thought I’d share an easy Greek Veggie Pizza Appetizer that would be perfect to bring to a potluck, cookout, or just to serve in your own home. This recipe is very simple and you can customize it to your liking depending on what flavors you like. Add more of… Read More

Cheeseburger Dip

I’m one of those people that just snack and snack if anything like a dip or finger food is set in front of me, so in our household, dips tend to go quickly, but they are OH so tasty!!

So today I’m sharing with you how I easily turned a summer classic, the cheeseburger, into a melty, cheesy, gooey dip that everyone can share and enjoy!!

Last Day of School 2020 Printables {Distance Learning Edition}

This school year has been quite a challenge, I think we would all agree. Hats off to all you teachers out there who wrangle our kids and teach them with patience and understanding every day. If this period of Stay at Home taught me nothing else, it’s that first and foremost…I’m not smarter than a fifth grader and second, I would not make a good teacher. But the up side is that I relearned a lot of things that I’d previously forgotten how to do by hand and that I had to work on my patience with my kids and… Read More

It’s FINALLY looking and feeling like Spring here in Ohio. We are finally seeing warmer weather and it got me thinking about all my Spring Cleaning To Do’s and how it’s hard to keep track of all the things I should do and want to do this time of the year each year. So, I thought, why not make it into a game and encourage my whole family to participate to get things done?! Today I’m sharing a fun Spring Cleaning Game for download for all of YOU that have families and want to get clean and organized this spring!… Read More

World’s Tastiest Buttermilk Pancake Recipe

On the weekends, we like to do one big breakfast–sometimes it’s eggs and bacon and sausage, sometimes we make waffles, and other time I make delicious Homemade Buttermilk Pancakes.

My babies love pancakes and I have a buttermilk pancake recipe that is always popular for breakfast time.

Disney’s Kona Cafe Copycat Tonga Toast

Several years back we went to Disney and one of my FAVORITE meals during our visit was the Tonga Toast for breakfast at Kona Cafe in Disney’s Polynesian Resort. Tonga Toast is essentially a stuffed French Toast recipe with bananas in the center, a great cinnamon sugar crust, and a delicious strawberry compote topping that really is the “icing on the cake” so to speak! This was so good that I had to find a copycat Tonga Toast recipe to share with you guys and if you ever visit Disney, I highly recommend hitting up Kona Cafe and enjoying a… Read More
