3 Ingredient Banana and Berry Ice Cream

This super easy 3 ingredient banana and berry ice cream is also no-churn. And one of the best parts? It can be made almost entirely alone by a child… or at the very least with some adult supervision. Now, I’m not suggesting that I let my toddler do this on her own. Far from it. But it was her first time helping me make something in the kitchen and I must say that it turned out very well. I will also admit that I was originally going to use strawberries for this but they weren’t quite thawed enough when I wanted to create the dessert. Fortunately we had blueberries in the freezer as well, so I think that this could work with any frozen berry….

Tex Mex Twist on a Basic Meatball Recipe

Let me start by saying: I love meatloaf and I love meatballs. So trying to find recipes for them has become quite the past time of mine. We’ve started making more meatballs than meatloaf and I was looking for a twist on the basic meatball recipe.  Not that I don’t enjoy a good, basic meatball or easy meatball recipes, but I wanted to spice things up a bit. Or at least change it up it a bit while still maintaining the classic meatball ingredients that we’ve come to enjoy. I almost thought we were done with meatballs since the weather was finally starting to warm up and I didn’t want to use the oven so much. But the recent string of cooler weather has given…

Copycat Liquid Yoga Recipe

We live not too far from an Emack and Bolio and they have become one of my favorite places to go for ice cream. But, whenever we do go there, I don’t end up ordering ice cream. Instead, I get this delicious creation called a Liquid Yoga. It starts with Chai and includes frozen vanilla yogurt, and a banana. But my problem? Twofold. I don’t want to walk there to get it and I don’t want to pay $5.50 to drink it. So, I decided to make my own copycat liquid yoga recipe and see if I could recreate this deliciousness at home. Easy enough, right? This delicious smoothie has now become a go-to for a quick breakfast or afternoon pick me up. This post…

Spinach and Artichoke Dip

Every Sunday evening, we watch the latest episode of the Walking Dead and sometimes catch up on old episodes. One of the biggest problems that we run into is finding the ideal snack for the show. We don’t do themed snacks, though that might be an option to explore for the finale. But we do tend to fall back on one snack in particular. I love a good spinach and artichoke dip and after trying several recipes, I think we finally have our favorite. One of these days, I’ll be brave enough to use fresh artichokes, but I’m still trying to get the hang of cooking those first and then using them for the dip or whatever else we need them for. This most recent…

Turkey, Quinoa, and Spinach Casserole

So, we’ve been on a bit of a spinach kick lately. Personally, I love spinach and Squeaker seems to be following in my footsteps. Kyle, while he did not grow up liking spinach, has taken a liking to it as an adult. Lucky me because that means I can try out all the spinach recipes I want! So, when I wanted another opportunity to cook with quinoa I googled and found a recipe that was right up my alley. With a few modifications and we had a tasty turkey, quinoa, and spinach casserole. Not that the original wasn’t tasty, but we wanted to make our own modifications to it. You can find the original recipe on iFoodReal. So, yes… delicious and tasty. Also hearty and…

Tex Mex Inspired Casserole

Tex Mex Inspired Casserole Easy to Make and Easy to Modify Since I completely missed yesterday’s Meal Planning and recipe share, I’m posting this today. This is something that I originally saw in Better Homes and Gardens but has since become something that we turn to often. We’ve tried making this with both ground beef and with ground turkey and while the ground turkey does hold its own, we prefer the ground beef. Alternately, you could use a meat substitute of your choice if you want to turn this into a more vegetarian friendly meal.
