while some like to call it loaded mashed potatoes or twice baked potato casserole, in our house we prefer twice baked potato pie. okay, so this really isn't a pie. not like i think of a pie, anyway. you don't bake it in a pie plate, you don't cut it into slices, and it doesn't have a crust and/or a ...

freezer meal :: chicken enchiladas
i usually love making dinner. i love chopping vegetables, i love sauteeing them, i love making a mess in the kitchen.

the best homemade playdough recipe
a couple years ago when i was living in toronto with no car and nobody around that i knew, my darling sister-in-law would make the 1 hour drive to our place so our boys could play together. at one of these play dates she suggested we try making no-cook playdough. up until that point i never knew ...
“stressed” is desserts – spelled backwards :: my favorite easy desserts
at the end of a long day (and with young kids at home, that happens quite often!), i usually put my feet up and indulge in a little something sweet for myself - no noise, no messes to clean up - just me and my sweet retreat. these are a few of my favorite easy dessert recipes that we make often ...
