If you’re in the Midwest like me, you are probably sweating to death while reading this. Even though it is hot, and the humidity is at 150%, the reality is Fall is coming.

Desperate to eat I often choose something that isn’t great for me. I decided to make it a personal goal to try to eat something at least somewhat healthy for me in the morning. This is why I created a breakfast bread that anyone can bake, even people who can’t bake well, like me. This breakfast bread is filled with healthy things and it has minimal refined sugar. I was…

This recipe is fairly simple, but it does require some special ingredients and some time. If you give it a shot these Marinated Eggs will be your new favorite snack. Here…

Continue ReadingI know that it’s Summer and everyone is living life outdoors, but we are getting closer to the “ber” months and it’s time to start preparing to be cozy. I for one am looking forward to the end of Summer, cooler days and weekend comfort food cooking. Perhaps I am jumping the gun just a little, but August is a good time to get back in the kitchen and brush up on those cooking skills that may have gotten lost over the backyard bbq. I rounded up three recipes you need to be making this weekend to help you get…

Continue ReadingThe Best Pork Chops Ever This recipe for The best Pork Chops Ever is a fan favorite. The addition of the Oven Fry makes these so simple to prepare and the honey mustard glaze is next level. This was one of those recipes that I made on a whim and it came together perfectly.
