I will admit that I did not get into the whole Instant Pot craze at first. I didn’t understand what the excitement was all about and I didn’t see the need to buy one more appliance that I would have to find space for in my cupboards. However, this past summer I found a brand …
A few Thanksgivings ago I was in charge of the sweet potato dish for our dinner at my in-laws. I was going to make roasted sweet potatoes in the oven, but my mother-in-law didn’t have a couple of the spices that the recipe called for. She did have a container of Pumpkin Spice so we …
While I love cooking meals that take a little prep work and time to cook in the oven, sometimes I need a meal that I can get on the table in a short amount of time. I know that we are also getting into the busy season that includes after school sports practices and recitals. …

I first learned about collagen powder when I was pregnant with my third child a couple of years ago. I needed to add more protein to my diet and a chiropractor I was seeing recommended I start taking it. She was also pregnant at the time and she said it was a really easy way …
I love how versatile muffins are. There are so many different recipes for them and they are great for breakfast, a snack, or to have with a morning cup of coffee. These Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins are one of my favorite recipes and I make them all year long. They make a huge batch so …
I love potato salad. There’s just something about it that says Summer! To me a BBQ or picnic is not complete without it. My mom has a great potato salad recipe that she has been making for as long as I can remember. One common ingredient that most potato salad recipes have is vinegar. My …
