Long before the leaves begin to turn, my mind starts to dream about pumpkin. Cinnamon and ginger spiced pumpkin flavors fill me with anticipation. My pumpkin obsession can linger well into the winter and sometimes even resurface in the middle of the spring seemingly out of nowhere. Simple pumpkin recipes like these Pumpkin Muffins can […]
I just love these Chicken Tacos because they are so versatile. I like them in hard tacos. My husbands and sons like them as soft tacos. When I have leftovers (a rare occurrence), I can make them into Chicken Quesadillas and freeze them for future lunches (or snacks for my teen boys). It is good […]

My mother would make this Strawberry Fluff Cottage Cheese Salad when I was growing up. This is about the only way you would ever catch me eating cottage cheese. The strawberry gelatin, strawberries, and whipped topping are excellent at concealing the loathsome, but healthy, cottage cheese. Substituting low fat and/or sugar free ingredients can make […]

I always keep white chocolate chips on hand. Since I am making lots of hot cocoa this week, it is a no-brainer that I should make a white chocolate cocoa, too. This recipe makes enough cocoa for just one person, but it is so quick that multiple people can have white chocolate cocoa in minutes… […]
