Life is busy and you don’t need me to tell you that. This recipe has been a lifesaver when I need to get dinner on the table in 30 minutes or less and we want something other than grilled cheese or french toast. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m all for a grilled cheese sandwich and I did an entire post on french toast a couple weeks ago. But some nights you want something that is just as quick and easy, but a little bit fancier. Let me introduce you to this Easy Parmesan Alfredo Sauce that is both easy and fancy. With only four ingredients, plus salt and pepper, this Parmesan…

Cinnamon Toast
Here’s another recipe where you are probably thinking to yourself that you don’t need a recipe for toast. But if you usually toast your bread and then spread butter on it and sprinkle a cinnamon/sugar mix on top you probably enjoy it. But if you want to take it from enjoy to love then you need to make this recipe. The secret is in spreading the butter and cinnamon/sugar mixture on the bread before toasting which creates a delicious caramelized topping. Now the recipe calls for 6 slices of bread, but this is going to depend on the size of the slices. Any sliced loaf bread, white or whole wheat will…

Honey Lime Chicken Taquitos
There’s something about the combo of flavors in these taquitos, chicken smothered in sweet honey combined with cool and tangy lime and Mexican inspired spices, that is unique and unexpected. I find myself adding these taquitos to the menu when time is tight, which lately seems to be almost every night! The first time I made these we were surprised at how flavorful they are and they quickly became a go-to recipe. The spices in these taquitos are pretty mild so if you like things spicier feel free to up the chili powder or add cayenne pepper or even some jalapenos. Or if you want to get wild and crazy switch…

French Toast
Lazy Saturday morning breakfasts are a favorite of ours and french toast is in the normal rotation. French toast is also great for a quick mid-week dinner, who doesn’t love breakfast for dinner?! French Toast is also a sentimental food for me because it is one of the first meals that the hubby and I made together when we were dating. It’s been a special treat for us ever since! I never thought I needed a recipe for french toast. I mean, you just dip bread in an egg and milk mixture, sprinkle with cinnamon and then fry it up. A few months ago I decided that our french toast needed a makeover. After doing…

Iced Coffee
I figured that the morning after daylight savings time is the perfect time to talk about coffee! I love my lattes but in the summer I need something cold and refreshing. While I loved the iced drinks I got at Starbucks, the ones I tried to make at home were always extremely disappointing. Last summer I discovered the world of cold brew coffee and my iced coffee drinking experience has been transformed! At first, I was slightly appalled by grounds sitting in cold water overnight, it doesn’t exactly look appealing, but the end result is definitely worth it. One of the struggles with cold coffee is that when you use sugar to sweeten…
