We went on a road trip this weekend with my 2 1/2 year old. I had found a lot of great traveling ideas for kids. Most of the things were for older kids and didn't really work for my son. I found this great craft box and thought it would be perfect! It worked really well! He played with his cars and puzzle and watched tv and it was great as far as a 10 hr car ride goes!

I needed something light and healthy for some wonderful ladies coming to my house today. This is what I came up with. When I started cooking often I really enjoied discovering the differences and similarities between recipes.

I had always wondered what the difference between an egg casserole, Fritatta and quiche. In an egg casserole I will put just a splash of milk on the eggs. In a Fritatta, you don't put any milk in. In a quiche there is more milk than eggs.

So I forgot to make dinner for my husband who only had about an hour at home to eat. I made this in about 30 minutes and it was DELICIOUS!

After a little pinspiration, I came up with these. I was very impressed with how well they tuned out! They are everything you want in a bunch bar: sweet, healthy, chewy and moist.

Enchiladas is one of those foods that I crave! When I was pregnant one of the only CRAVINGS!!! I had was cheese enchiladas from Carettas. Chris and I were in class at UNO at the time so Metarie was completely out of the way from our drive from Gentilly to the Quarter. My sweet husband brought me anyway so I could have my cheese enchiladas. They were delicious!

It is so hard to find a recipe for a peanut butter or chocolate smoothie without bananas! I hate bananas! They have this slimy stringy texture... Ew. So this is, like a lot of what I make, an inspiration of a few different Peanut Butter Oat Smoithies.

This is my go-to book for most anything. My mom's 198something edition of this cook book is well loved and mine has most of the same recipes! This is an adaptation of their oat muffin recipe.

Despite the fact my sister avoided the kitchen at all costs when we were younger she has become a great cook. I think the main reason she hated cooking is because she had to share a kitchen with women who made a huge mess and then she would have to clean! Here are a few of her favorite recipes!

FINALLY I have figured out how to make cheesy rice with brown rice! This is one of those things that Nana makes often and I love. I have started to buy all whole grain bread, brown rice and so on and wanted to recreate this very 'Merican dish but healthier.
