Fill Up On Memories This Holiday Season: Sausage and Asparagus Crustless Quiche

November 20, 2017 by Alison Leave a Comment

This post is written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own.   We woke up this morning to our first snow of the season. The inception of winter (we’re skipping fall in the Pacific Northwest evidently) and the realization that the holidays are all but on top of […]

How Not to Get Run Over By The Wagon & A Skinny Summer Cocktail

June 11, 2017 by Alison 1 Comment

I hate water….no, scratch that…I don’t hate water, I hate tasteless water. Bland is bad and I’m kind of a soda junkie. Not just the caffeine, but the fizzy bubbles too – ice cold it’s refreshing and not boring like water. But alas, one cannot live on Mt. Dew alone, in fact I think my […]

May 31, 2017 by Alison 8 Comments

This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks/Rubbermaid®.   Summer’s here which means this mama’s cup runneth over.

Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes

April 26, 2017 by Alison 1 Comment

March 13, 2017 by Alison Leave a Comment

Rumor has it that spring is supposed to show up sometime soon.  I mean you wouldn’t guess it by looking outside right now, but once it does warm up, and the sun comes out for more than 20-30 minutes at a time, there’s going to be some entertaining going on. There’s been a bit of […]

Hearty Homemade Minestrone Soup

February 20, 2017 by Alison 1 Comment

Here in the Pacific Northwest, it’s still very winter-like even though we’re quickly approaching March. We’ve gotten more snow this year than we have in many years (remind me to tell you about the “Winter of 96” someday – that was a doozey!). Now that snow has mostly turned to rain freezing rain and it’s […]

Valentine’s Day Heart Shaped Cake Treats

February 7, 2017 by Alison Leave a Comment

My daughter reminded me today when I picked her up from daycare that next week is Valentine’s Day. I suppose I should get my rear in gear because that means this weekend is the last minute mad dash for parents to get all those tasty treats prepared in and effort to look as if they’ve […]
