Meatballs Sans Sauce by Krista Marshall

Meatballs Sans SauceIf you clicked on this recipe after reading only the first word and are looking for another spaghetti & meatballs recipe, I'm sorry to disappoint you. However, if you stick w/ me, I am delivering one for meatballs, and there is pasta involved. To be honest, I'm not a big spaghetti & meatballs fan. Wait, that's a…

It's A Trend by Krista Marshall

It's A TrendWhen I sat down to blog this recipe I realized something interesting. This is the second Monday in a row I am sharing a scone recipe with you. It wasn't planned that way, but apparently I've started a trend. I'm guessing it won't continue next Monday, but a two week occurrence can still be a trend, right?!After my luck at…

Candy Overload by Krista Marshall

Candy OverloadOn November 1st, parents across this country, from one coast to another, will all be dealing with the same problem. TOO MUCH candy! Little ones will bring it home by the bagful on Halloween night, and even after picking through and probably disposing of some, there will still more than enough to feed an entire army for…

A New Twist On An Old Favorite by Krista Marshall

A New Twist On An Old FavoriteI love Green Bean Casserole. In fact, it always makes an appearance on our Thanksgiving, or Christmas dinner tables; and sometimes, both! We also love stuffed mushrooms, and if we are lucky enough to travel to Pennsylvania to my Grammy's for Thanksgiving, she always has them included in her menu. So you…

Small Stick Big Flavor by Krista Marshall

Small Stick Big FlavorI have learned many things in my almost 32 years here on earth. And one that is tried and true, every single time...anything tastes better on a stick~ no matter the size of said stick. It can be a very long one, like on a foot long corndog at the fair, or something small on the end of a toothpick at a party.…

After School Delight by Krista Marshall

Whenever I hear the words "after school snack" my mind goes to one image. Cookies, fresh from the oven, and a tall glass of milk. Why this picture pops into my head I'm not sure. I can't remember that being my after school snack one time growing up. Ha. Ha. I was more of a fan of salty snacks, and have never been a huge milk drinker.…

State Fair Casserole by Krista Marshall

With the long, cold, snowy days of winter still torturing us (I'm sorry, but after over 50 inches of snow since the beginning of the year, 11 snow days off school, days of -40 wind chills, cars not starting, cars getting stuck, shoveling and shoveling again...that is how I feel...tortured!) one of the only ways I can find to comfort…

Back To School Rush by Krista Marshall

We are two weeks in folks, and I'm already counting down the days until Christmas break. Okay, so maybe it isn't quite that bad, but I can say for sure I know when Labor Day is...and every other day off is circled on the calendar in red!Not only do I want my boy back home with me, but I'm just tired. Exhausted. We both are. I know we…

Florida Favorite by Krista Marshall

Florida FavoriteEach year when we head south for our annual 2 weeks on New Smyrna Beach, there are certain things we each look forward to. Me---I love all the fresh seafood and produce. Alex--Manny's Pizza (the best pizza in the world, and actually we ALL look forward to this), and Crab Legs. And Adam? Oranges, fresh oysters, and Key…

Apples Apples Apples by Krista Marshall

Apples Apples ApplesThis is the title of one of the first books Alex ever read all by himself; and still one of the first "fall" books we read every year when the season comes around again. (If you have little ones, it is really cute!) It might be geared towards a target audience of 3-6 year olds, but I think it sums up what most of…

I Admit Defeat by Krista Marshall

I Admit DefeatAs I have gotten deeper and deeper into the blogging world, I have tried more and more things in my kitchen I would have never thought possible. I know it's because of a couple things. One, the tremendous amount of support all of you show me each time you log on, and two, I love challenging myself b/c I have an outlet to…

No More Turkey by Krista Marshall

No More TurkeySo I guess the question on my mind today is "Are you tired of turkey yet?" Have you had your fill until next Thanksgiving? Or are you simply taking a break for 3 weeks before another roasted bird is the star of your Christmas table? Well, if you are in the first group, I have a real treat for you today. It's Italian,…

No Bake Solution by Krista Marshall

No Bake SolutionThis time of year I think we are all looking for more dessert options that don't involve our oven. The dreaded "I don't want to heat up the house" season is upon us, and I for one am looking forward to the challenge.See, before I began this blog, I truly wasn't that much of a baker. I didn't enjoy, and tried to avoid…
