Green Bean Casserole
Green bean casserole is one of those dishes that we only make once a year. At least that was the case until I came up with this version. Before this, I had made this a few times with the traditional cream of mushroom soup base. The problem is that I don’t like cream of mushroom…
Teriyaki Chicken
About a year ago I did a promotion for Kikkoman for Thanksgiving. They sent me a bunch of recipes from turkey marinade to green bean casserole. I have to be honest, the only thing I used Kikkoman soy sauce was for my pot stickers and to pour over rice. This promotion definitely opened my eyes…
Broccoli Cheddar Soup
We weren’t big soup eaters growing up. The only soup I remember my mom serving (I say serving and not making because there was no making about it) was tomato soup. From the can. Ugh. I did not like it. It tasted like drinking V8 or some other awful tomato drink. I was not a…
No Bake Key Lime Pie
Is there any more refreshing treat than key lime pie? My favorite thing to order at the Cheesecake Factory is Key Lime Cheesecake. As much as I love to eat cheesecake, I will admit, I don’t love making it. Oh, believe me, I will make it, but if there is a faster alternative, sign me…

Breakfast Burrito Casserole
Breakfast casseroles are perfect for the weekend, lazy Saturday or Sunday mornings when everyone is sleeping in or watching cartoons or if you are in my house, Innovation Nation. They are easy to make ahead and pop in the oven in the morning. Or if you are an early riser, you can throw it together…
Fruit Salad
I know what you are thinking. Do you really need a recipe for a fruit salad? Don’t you just cut up a bunch of your favorite fruit and toss it in a big bowl and call it good? Well, yes as a matter of fact, that is exactly what you do. However, this fruit salad…
Scotcheroos
Okay, this is not a new recipe. You can find it floating around on just about everyone’s blog. But it is new here, so humor me. . . This recipe actually has special meaning to me because of the person I got it from. Kristen, my older sister, and I were in college at BYU.…
Cole Slaw
There are two quintessential summer salads, potato salad and cole slaw. I would almost guarantee you that any BBQ or party this summer will have these two salads, and possibly macaroni salad. Are you a fan? You can bet I am! Not only is it good on its own, next to BBQ, corn, and chips,…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
