After I graduated from college I got an apartment with a couple friends and I quickly discovered that I only knew how to cook for a crowd! One of my married friends who lived in the area definitely looked out for me during my first couple of years on my own. Tiffani was a couple of years older than I was and she let me come over for dinner often and always sent me home with leftovers. She gave me this recipe she cut out of a magazine that had a cooking for one section and I’ve now adapted it to feed four. Growing up I was pretty neutral to meatloaf. I would eat it when my mom served it, but…

Refrigerator Bran Muffins
I think it’s safe to say that I have a slight muffin obsession. But honestly, can you have too many go to muffin recipes? I think not. Last year I went looking for a bran muffin recipe and once I discovered the inspiration for these I stopped looking. Not only are they delicious and healthier (applesauce replaces some of the butter), but the batter can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 14 days. Yep, you read that right. Once you make the batter you can let it sit in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks and when you are ready to bake them just give the batter a good stir before spooning into…

Saturday Coffee & Dish
Happy Saturday! March was an extremely busy month at our house and I’m looking forward to purposefully slowing things down in April. My sisters are on spring break this week and are coming to visit! There will be lots of shopping, cooking, eating and girl talk and I can’t wait! Do you use the Target Cartwheel app? I love shopping at Target and I love getting a good deal. With the Cartwheel app, I can scan each item as I put it in my cart to see if I can get an additional discount. I got a package from one of my sisters recently and it included this adorable bunny cookie cutter set! I’m thinking some spring sugar…

Easy Parmesan Alfredo Sauce
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…
