Grayson’s Birth Story

18 days after his birth, I’m finally getting around to writing Grayson’s birth story!! On Wednesday, May 23rd, Steve asked if I could come to the office with him to take care of some returns and warranty replacements (in case you don’t know, we own our own business and I had only been coming intoContinue reading “Grayson’s Birth Story”

Homemade Marinara Sauce

If you’re in need of a quick and easy pasta dish, canned marinara sauce is probably the way to go.  But nothing beats the taste of homemade marinara sauce, and if you have the time, I would highly suggest trying this recipe before heading to your pantry to grab that jar of the pre-made stuff.Continue reading “Homemade Marinara Sauce”

Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups

I subscribe to several food blogs, so every morning my inbox is full of new posts containing tons of recipes.  Some I delete automatically, like if I see the word “mushroom” in the title, and others I just know that I want to try immediately.  The following recipe was one of those “try immediately” ones,Continue reading “Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups”

Chicken Parmesan

I’m always trying to think of new ways to incorporate chicken into our dinners.  This obviously isn’t a new recipe, but I hadn’t made it in several months (Steve is not the biggest Italian food fan like I am).  I originally found this recipe on the Food Network Website as one of Emeril’s delicious dishes. Continue reading “Chicken Parmesan”

As promised, here is the strawberry muffin recipe I made yesterday for our Bible Study.  These were great too, but I think the blueberry muffins were more of a hit just because blueberry is a more traditional berry for a muffin.  But if you love strawberries like I do, I see no reason why youContinue reading “Strawberry Muffins”

Blueberry Muffins

Every Thursday night, Steve and I participate in a Couples’ Bible Study, and each week we are assigned a food dish to bring for dinner.  I love it, because I never have to try to brainstorm about what to make for dinner on Thursday nights.  Each couple brings a dish, and we get to eatContinue reading “Blueberry Muffins”

3 Bean Slow Cooker Chili

When we went to our best friends’ Super Bowl party a couple weeks ago, I was in charge of making the chili.  I’ve tried a few different recipes before and none really hit the nail on the head for me, but this 3-bean chili recipe I found in one of my slow cooker cookbooks reallyContinue reading “3 Bean Slow Cooker Chili”

Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos

Steve and I are part of a Couples’ Bible Study with several of our friends, and we’re studying the book His Needs, Her Needs by Willard F. Harley, Jr.  In the first couple chapters of the book it talks about making deposits and withdrawals in each other’s “Love Bank.”  While the group was discussing someContinue reading “Chicken & Black Bean Taquitos”
