I received a gift card to offset the expense of my ingredients. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the California Milk Advisory Board and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time. Though I love sandwiches, I will be the first to complain when a restaurant’s sole vegetarian option is a cold sandwich that’s pretty much just hummus and cucumber. Just…
Read moreThere must be something about getting older that makes each year seem shorter than the last. I remember in elementary school that I felt like each year lasted longer than I could wrap my mind around, but now I hardly know what month it is. This might be, in part, because I just realized my wall calendar at work was still showing July, ooops. I can’t stop time and I can’t stay young forever, but at least I can occasionally indulge in…
Read moreNeed a little extra motivation as we get closer to Christmas and New Year’s Eve? I invited Becky from Olives ‘n’ Wine over for a guest post while my vacation wraps up (booo!) so I can get back, re-read this, and try to swing into some healthy habits — and to help keep everyone else on track this holiday season, too.

With everything else going on, I haven’t quite…
Read moreEveryone has their junk food or processed ingredient they just can’t quit, right? While I actually have many, a big one has always been Manwich. I love a good, homemade sauce but sometimes you just need the sugary ease of sauce in a can. Until you look at the ingredients list and see WOAH, that really is basically 98% sugar (obvs a made up number, but just go with it). But still, I couldn’t deny my sweet sloppy Joe craving, right?…
Read moreLet’s call Thursday “The day we ate all of the corn”. First we had these peppers stuffed with cornbread studded with fresh corn and then we went to the movies and ate ALL of the popcorn. With Milk Duds. Because movie theater popcorn demands Milk Duds — have you tried that? DO IT. We saw an early release of Guardians of the Galaxy and it was amazing. Eat these peppers then go see it. Or, even better, smuggle these into…
