A Little Bit of Everything
I came across a recipe on Pinterest last week that looked delicious, and it was nearly perfect. I just made a few changes and I’m in love. If you’re a peanut butter freak, like myself, then you’ll want to take these to friends so you do not consume them all by yourself. Also, if you are one of those aforementioned peanut butter freaks, you’ll love {Read More}
You may not know this about me, but I have an obsession with creating the perfect Breakfast Casserole. I love breakfast food, even though I usually skip the meal. (I know, it’s bad for my metabolism..) I’ve created countless different variations of breakfast casserole, including one that I posted here. I have to say I’ve finally created the best breakfast casserole, ever. A lot of {Read More}
If you have followed my blog for any amount of time you have most likely heard me “rage” against artificial sweeteners. Namely, aspartame and sucralose. They are in everything. I recently purchased my daughter a “healthy” lunchable and noticed the little drink packet you pour into the water has sucralose in it. Ahhhh. I am one of the lucky few who are very sensitive to {Read More}
While perusing Pinterest last week I came across a recipe for those incredibly fluffy sugar cookies with frosting that you see at the store. The site the recipe originated from, Annie’s Eats, hit the nail on the head when she said “Where those tasted slightly artificial, these taste buttery and delicious.” I had to photograph just how fluffy and amazing these things look straight out {Read More}
I grew up thinking bacon had to be fried in a skillet, so when I learned this new method I thought.. there’s no way this is going to work. I had tried microwaved bacon before and wasn’t a fan of the chewiness. Bacon in the oven? Whatever, dude. I’m glad I did because it’s so incredibly simple, barely any cleanup necessary and the bacon cooks {Read More}
This is by far the best pimento cheese recipe I have ever tasted. I didn’t always like pimento cheese, and until I came across this recipe was only mildly interested in it. I grated my own cheese, and used the fine end of the grater. I really like smooth pimento cheese, but you can also use the side of the grater with the larger holes {Read More}
It’s exactly how it sounds. I accidentally made some amazing macaroni and cheese on Christmas day. Family was coming over and we needed one more side. My Mom shouted the order “Lindsey, mac ‘n cheese! Stat!” I answered the call. It was more like “Hey Lindsey don’t you think we need another side? Do we have all of the ingredients for baked Macaroni and Cheese?” {Read More}
Ever since I was a little girl my Mom has always made us bagels this way. I just assumed it was the only way. Until I got older and ordered bagels at various restaurants only to be disappointed by the lack of butter involved. I realize there are far less caloric preparation techniques, however, in my mind this is the only way to make a {Read More}
In the midst of our moving, again, I failed to realize we reached our one year anniversary here at MomAndWife.com Some time in October we should have had a big ‘ol party! I wanted to highlight my favorite recipes posted through the past year that also fit the bill for the holiday season. Check out my Recipes board on Pinterest for more delicious recipes I’ve {Read More}
These little things are so versatile and you really can’t go wrong when cream cheese is involved. Our family usually just uses black olives, green chilies and cream cheese, but I’ve seen so many different variations. Everything from ham and cheese to sweeter versions for dessert. This is more of a method than a recipe, just throw whatever sounds good to you in the tortilla {Read More}
A friend of ours had us over for dinner and made this delicious dish. Needless to say I had to have the recipe. She’s one of those that just naturally knows how to throw things together and have it all work perfectly. I am not one of those. I need a recipe to follow This recipe is derived from what she remembered putting in the {Read More}
{ iPhone Picture } These are delicious. The fact that they took a whole 2 seconds (slight exaggeration) to throw together made them all that much more satisfying. Here are the short but sweet directions: Use a pastry brush to apply olive oil to each side of your corn tortillas Stack them back up and cut into 4′s Lay them flat on a baking sheet {Read More}
