Strawberry Mango Smoothie

Tina3 Comments

I hope you guys aren’t getting sick of smoothie recipes because I’ve got another fab one for you. How crazy cute are these glasses!?!  I just bought them from the Home Goods store on Friday for $3.50 each.  Of course I needed an excuse to use them right away and thought this fun smoothie was the perfect way.  Get it?  Tropical fruit in a smoothie, palm trees on an adorable cup? It’s been over a month since I shared a smoothie recipe with you.  That’s enough time in between, right?  If you’re a smoothie junkie like me then I know you’ll appreciate another.  If you’re …

Sweet Potato Wedges and Eggs

Tina10 Comments

TGIF!  What are you making for breakfast tomorrow?  What…  It’s a legit question.  I’m sure that I’m not the only one who plans ahead of time, especially when it comes to food. I was in the mood for eggs and some sort of sweet potato side dish.  I just realized that I think I start every breakfast post with “I was craving… so here it is.”  Well, my blog is a diary of my life so that’s how it goes around here.  🙂 I opted for sweet potato wedges that are seasoned with salt and pepper.  Yup, it’s nothing fancy but it sure …

Cinnamon Swirl Quick Bread

Tina16 Comments

I can’t contain my excitement about this quick bread!  It’s part vanilla cake, part cinnamon bun, part crumb cake, all awesome. I’m telling you that once you make this you’ll have friends and family asking (no, begging) you to make it again.  I think the pictures say it all today, but I’m feeling a little like Guy Fieri on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives.  I love that show!  If you’re a fan, then you know how he goes into crazy detail when he’s sampling the food.  I get a lot of inspiration from Triple D.  The only bad part is that it never seems like …

Skillet Calzone

Tina8 Comments

Pizzas are for Fridays and the weekend!  Instead, how about we switch it up a bit and have a calzone?  You know, because that’s nothing like a pizza.  😉 Whaaaat?!  Calzone in a skillet?  That was my reaction when I saw this recipe in a magazine.  Of course I needed to try it as soon as possible.  It’s basically like my Pizza Skillet, except you add a layer of pizza dough on top of the whole shebang and fill it to the brim with stuff first. I’m still intimidated… or more like I’m still afraid of working with yeast so …

Frozen Mango Margarita

Tina6 Comments

I’m still celebrating Cinco de Mayo with this margarita!  (My husband is still celebrating Quatro de Mayo by pretending that the fourth Star Wars movie is almost out.) Let’s be real, I don’t need a reason to enjoy a margarita.  It’s just an ordinary Wednesday so I’m living it up with this cocktail.  If you really need an excuse, then this would be awesome for a Mother’s Day brunch this weekend. I’ve been having a blast trying a variety of flavored margaritas.  The Pineapple Margarita is my favorite so far and the Paloma (which is like a grapefruit margarita) is super delicious and refreshing.  My husband …
