I’m about to share with you one of the greatest restaurant hacks of all time: making homemade, restaurant-style salsa is not only easy, but inexpensive, and is best – BEST! – made with canned tomatoes. While fresh tomatoes make great pico de gallo, you gotta go with canned tomatoes if you want that true restaurant salsa flavor. You heard it here first, folks! Watch How to Make It!

Once upon a time I had a college roommate who believed she could will herself skinny, simply by the power of positive thinking. Ah, dare to dream! She insisted she never gained weight from the horrible college food we all ate, simply because she told herself she wouldn’t. I mean, she was thin, and never worked out a single day during the semester we lived together, but I think her trim figure had more to do with her 20 year old metabolism than anything else?...

Raise your hand if Sour Cream and Onion is your ride or die potato chip flavor? I’m raising my hand to the point of no return. Heck, anything sour cream and onion has always had my name written all over it. My Mom used to drag my brothers and me to the now defunct Venture store (RIP) with the promise of letting us pick out individual bags of Sour Cream and Onion microwave popcorn for family movie night each Friday if we behaved....

That’s my happy St. Patrick’s Day greeting. My husband and I were going to hit up the all-you-can-eat St. Paddy’s Day buffet at our local grocery store for the occasion (unlimited Reubens & corned beef?!) but I thought nah, lets keep it homemade with The Best Shepherd’s Pie.

Ever take a peek at what the the person behind you in line at the grocery store is unloading onto the checkout belt? Me neither. Ok fine, I do admit to giggling when I spied the 20-something-male behind me in line at HyVee last week buying beer and Uncrustables. Just living his best, crust-free life! Anyway, my selection wasn’t nearly as exciting (gluten free bread is only sold with crusts, rude) but I thought it’d be fun to share the last ten FUN things I’ve bought over the past few months!...

I typically meal plan for the upcoming week on Saturday afternoon so I can be ready to shop first thing Sunday morning. If I’ve planned on making a ‘I’m pretty sure Ben’s going to hate this’ recipe, I’ll run it by him to gauge how horrified he’d be if I actually went through with it. It always sounds like a good idea at the time, until the following inevitably happens… Me: “Hey will you eat an Almond-Crusted Warm Goat Cheese Spinach Salad with Cherries if I make it this week?...

We grew up eating grilled cheese paired with Campbell’s canned tomato soup, or hot ham and cheese sandwiches, a couple nights a week. They were quick, easy, and could feed a crowd (aka me and my two hungry brothers). These grilled sandwiches were just fine, though my hot and crispy, ooey-gooey, sweet and savory Apple Orchard Panini is incredible! This is the grilled cheese glow-up we’ve been waiting for!...
