Thank you Karo® Syrup for sponsoring this post. Celebrate sweet moments together with Karo®! My Pumpkin Caramel Sticky Buns deliver on their promise of sticky, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. These rolls have that familiar flavor (and aroma), which- let’s be honest- is the way to most of our hearts. With the…

Spiced Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping
Tis’ the season for Pumpkin Spiced everything, y’all! I held out as long as I could before sharing a pumpkin recipe, but time waits for no woman. These Spiced Pumpkin Muffins are moist, spicy with the flavors of fall, and use a whole can of pumpkin puree! That’s right, no more trying to figure out…
Macaroni Salad: Hawaiian Inspired
Show of hands of all the people who have cancelled vacations this year? Yep. That’s exactly what I figured. Unfortunately for most of us, 2020 is a wash. Since many of us aren’t going on a tropical vacay this year, let’s bring a taste of the tropics to us. Hawaiian-inspired Macaroni Salad that’s creamy and flavorful…
Sense & Edibility’s Italian Ratatouille
Ratatouille is considered peasant food in France. If this is what peasants eat, though, I’m good with not being rich. My Italian Ratatouille nestles a combination of summer squashes and tomatoes on a lake of creamy tomato sauce. A liberal amount of pecorino cheese is doused on towards the end of baking, then it’s…
Fruit and Yogurt Smoothie- Just 4 Ingredients!
The base to the easiest smoothie consists of fruit and yogurt. What kind of fruit? That’s up to you. What kind of yogurt? Again, that’s your call. Since I know the ends and outs of quick breakfasts that aren’t too complicated, I’m going to hand over as many suggestions as my little brain holds. After…
Guacamole Dip: Chunky and Ready to Party
Guacamole is the king of Mexican meals. It sits on its throne of dishes most sought after. I’ve never had too much guacamole, but I’ve been annoyed when it’s run out. And it always runs out. The creamy, veggie-studded dip goes well with most proteins or simply scooped up with chips. What is Guacamole? The…
Pico de Gallo Recipe: Easy to Make
Pico de Gallo means “rooster’s beak”, but I have no idea what beaks have to do with this recipe. Maybe it’s because it looks like food a bird would peck at or has pecked over? Who knows? The colors of pico de gallo pay homage to the Mexican flag. So it makes sense that this…
Vitamin C Bomb Smoothie: Drink to Your Health
Vitamin C Bomb Smoothies are probably the tastiest way to increase your daily intake of vitamins. I mean, without that nasty, vitamin-y after taste, that is. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is friend to very few chefs, and I’m no exception. Personally, I think they involve themselves in too much of our day-to-day…
Arroz Borracho (Beer Steamed Yellow Rice)
I only have a couple of fond childhood memories. One of them is my mom’s yellow rice. Because she was an active duty Airman, she didn’t have much time to make lavish, home-cooked meals. Her yellow rice was a staple at our family beach days, BBQs, or picnics. Yes, Puerto Ricans bring big ol’ pots…
Banana Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal
One of the biggest misconceptions about homeschool families is that we have more hours in the day than other families. SOOOOOOOooohoooohooooo not true. I was running a cake decorating and catering business before starting this blog- all whilst trying to keep twins alive- so my days have never been long enough. In addition to that, my artistic…
