Special Sauce recipe… and tips for a better burger
The sauce that makes the burger plus all the tips you need for the best backyard burgers! “Two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun….” Can you almost hear the music? This iconic McDonald’s jingle was etched into my childhood brain, even though I never quite made the…
Microwave Kettle Corn
To say that popcorn is a favorite snack in our house would be an enormous understatement. My husband enjoys a bowlful nearly every night as dessert. If our sons are nearby, it’s guaranteed that a second round of popping will follow. My mother-in-law gave us a microwave air popper well over 10 years ago. It’s…
Super Healthy Nut & Seed Bread
Two slices of this deliciously hearty, satisfying bread and a side of fruit is one of my new favorite ways to start the day. I’ve been enjoying it on and off for several months now and, from the start, what surprised me the most was how long it kept me feeling truly full. This recipe…
Homemade Chai Concentrate (for iced or hot chai lattes)
To all the coffee drinkers out there, stay with me! 😀 When my teenagers took a liking to iced chai lattes from our neighborhood coffee shop a few years ago, I figured it was time to come up with an economical DIY version. While it may require a trip to the market in…
Easiest Steamed Artichokes
If you’ve never cooked whole, fresh artichokes, you might not believe how easy it is…or how amazing they taste! Before I got married, I had never eaten an artichoke–one that didn’t come out of a can anyway. And then for our first Christmas together, my husband’s grandmother gave us a set of artichoke plates.…
Toasty Peanut Butter & Jelly Oatmeal
Though it may not sound like the most glamorous food choice, there’s something timeless and just plain satisfying about a good old peanut butter and jelly sandwich. I’m pretty sure I’ll never outgrow them. (Anyone else with me?) But for those who may not love the mixture between two slices of bread, the sweet and…
Pink Pineapple Protein Smoothie
Just five ingredients create a filling smoothie that’s frosty, creamy, sweet, and tangy. Anyone else feeling the need for a post-holiday reboot? Party food and cookies notwithstanding, the bigger assault to my system just so happened to come by way of a nasty virus that hit me just days before Christmas. Instead of attending a…
Magical Reindeer Food
Magical Reindeer Food is a fun activity to do with your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews and brings out the wonder of the season. Perfect for kids to give to their friends or use themselves on Christmas Eve. Printable gift tags included! Years ago, when the kids and I still peered towards the moon in…
Homemade Jiffy Corn Muffin Mix
Homemade Jiffy corn muffin mix beats the boxed version any day, and it can be made gluten-free! Most of us have a short list of recipes that, for one reason or another, we return to again and again. One of the recipes from my own time-honored list is a cross between baked corn and cornbread…
Jeweled Cranberry Orange Relish… and a Thanksgiving bonus recipe
A cup of jewel-like pomegranate seeds and an orange-enhancing splash of triple sec take classic cranberry relish to new heights! When I was growing up, my family spent every Thanksgiving at my maternal grandparents’ house. My grandmother graciously opened her home to family, and any friends with no family. She put all the extra…
Oven Baked Brown Rice with Vegetables
Week to week, I’m so busy thinking of new recipes that I occasionally forget about the old ones. When my younger son casually mentioned that I didn’t have to “experiment” so much with sweet potatoes and kale, I figured it was time to bring out a few of the Fulton family favorites! I really like…
Cider Baked Apples
The sweet aroma of warm spices and baking apples is matched only by the flavor of this easy-to-make recipe. Enjoy for breakfast with a dollop of yogurt or for dessert with a scoop of ice cream – or anytime in between! Growing up, my family ate apple dumplings for dinner once or twice every fall.…
