We eat a lot of chicken in my house. Not only is chicken healthy, but it is also extremely versatile. One of the most common cuts of meat we keep in the freezer are boneless skinless chicken breasts. Whenever we get on a health kick, (Not going to lie,this usually goes in cycles.) we try […]

I have three favorite kinds of cake: chocolate, red velvet, and strawberry. It doesn’t matter what every traditional recipe calls for, in my mind, all three of these cakes need one thing to make them perfect – chocolate frosting, more specifically, dark chocolate frosting. When I first started baking cakes, frosting was something that I […]

One of the perks of living in Wisconsin is the traditional Friday Night Fish Fry. This weekly special was something that my mom and I would take advantage of on many Fridays when I would come home from college. While most people get pan fish on Fridays, one of my favorite items to order was […]

Lately I have been trying to eat healthier breakfasts and lunches so that I feel a little less guilty about splurging when dinner time rolls around. However, herein lies the problem….I love chocolate. More specifically, I love having chocolate for breakfast. Usually, this means that whatever I’m eating for breakfasts is sugary and delicious, but […]

One of the biggest staples at family gatherings such as Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas is the roasted ham. Sometimes at these events there is not just a ham but also a turkey offered, and when given the choice, I always choose the turkey. This choice only happens for one reason – the ham is usuallyContinue […]

Potatoes, simply put, are one of the most delicious foods on this planet. They taste good in almost every way that you can prepare them, and that’s one of their best features – their versatility. Potatoes can be made in so many ways and with so many different flavors. For this reason, this recipe is […]

Tis the season for turkey! It’s been a great Thanksgiving week, so I thought I would highlight one of my favorite chili recipes. While I love a spicy, traditional chili, when thinking about a healthier option, white chili with a poultry base is always a delicious, go-to option, especially when snow is in the forecast […]

It is my personal belief that all cookies are better when they are super soft. There is nothing more disappointing than picking up a cookie and discovering it’s crunchy. This summer I was in charge of baking a dessert for a family reunion. Cole’s family reunion is a very active event, with people grabbing snacksContinue […]

Do you ever have a craving that hits you out of nowhere? This feeling happened to me last month. Out of the blue, I remembered a delicious dish that I had eaten at a friend’s house in high school. I knew that my mom had gotten the recipe from his parents, and that the star […]

I may not be a huge fan of apple desserts, but Cole loves them, and this recipe is his absolute favorite. The concept behind this dish is very similar to apple crisp, with an apple filling layer, and a crispy top; however, since Cole isn’t a huge fan of oats that are traditionally in crisps, […]

I LOVE pumpkin. It is one of my absolute favorite ingredients, and when combined with chocolate, it is pretty much my definition of perfection. Of course, one cannot make it through a whole morning on a super sugary breakfast though, so I needed to find a way to make Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins with a […]

As the director of the Drama Club at my school, my busiest time of the year falls between January and March when we rehearse and perform our show. These are the months that I heavily rely on slow cooker meals to keep us well fed and avoid the temptation and ease of getting take out. […]

There are certain foods in this world that somehow seem more elegant or fancier than the rest. Foods at the top of my “fancy” list include steak and twice baked potatoes. In fact, this is the menu twice per year in my household, once for New Year’s Eve and once for our anniversary. There is […]

There are two items in life that Cole and I will always completely agree on. First, sleeping in until 9:30 on the weeknd is the perfect schedule, and second, that brunch is always better than having both breakfast and lunch. This combo of events means that I have practiced making many different breakfast dishes overContinue […]
