I'm so excited for another addition of #WeekdaySupper!! I love this series because it gives any busy Mom (or anyone for that matter) some great idea's for quick busy weeknights! These ladies will have your menu made up in no time! I may have to take a break from #WeekdaySupper once baby Drew comes along, but we'll see, I'd hate to not participate! This week I'm sharing a dish with you that I found in my Kitchen Aid Mixer cookbook, not sure why, I didn't use it to make this dish LOL......but it's come some incredible dishes. I'm excited to share this tasty concoction with you because it's cooking Beef Tips in a Crock Pot and a lot of people turn their nose in the air to that (my husband included) he's not a fan of his beef in the Crock, however I was destined to find one that would

Happy Sunday friends!!! Another weekend come and gone...........it's OK with me since, one, I'm dying for some warmer weather and two because I'm counting the weeks until we get to meet my baby boy!! Now this weeks theme is right up my alley! Anyone who knows me must know by now that me and my slow cooker (aka. Crock-It) have a serious love affair going on! All Winter long I put it to good use, during the summer I use it to avoid using the oven, it's a win win for this Momma! Well this weeks #SundaySupper theme is more than just slow cooker recipes! It's any recipe that cooked Low or Slow!! A big thank you to Susan over at The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen for hosting this fabulous event. OK so what did I decide to share with you today? Well I've been making this dish for a long time,

Happy Friday Folks! Another one upon us! Which to me means another week closer to delivering my son! Six more weeks and counting! When do I get to start counting days?? Well since it's another Friday that means I have another Co-Host to introduce you all to!!!!!!!!! My favorite time of the week! I found this lovely lady over at my #SundaySupper group, the name of her blog stood out to me because it's super cute and we all know how I feel about blog names......I love to know where they came from, mine got stuck with a boring name because I didn't think too much about it, but the more I think about it the more I like it because I'm Momma in this house so it fits well for me. Well Lori over at Foxes Love Lemons has a simple story behind her blog name. Her maiden name plus the girl loves

Mother's Day. A day that I can be proud. A day that I can truly appreciate my own Mother. A day that I can sit back and reflect on the past 4 years that I've been a mother. Though I feel as if all Mother's everywhere should be appreciated and recognized everyday of the year, it's nice to know their is one day set aside to remind ourselves just how special our Mom's should be. A day to put the busy days behind us, a day to give a simple kiss, a simple note to say "I love you Mom." I'm one of the lucky ones. I had a very caring, nerchuring, giving mother all of my life. I still do. That makes me lucky. The only thing I can hope and pray for is that some day my children can feel the same way about me as I do about my own Mother. I had the joy of becoming a Mother on October 27, 2010. I

Friday Friday Friday!! Yay! Another Friday upon us :) I don't have a favorite Featured Friday, I love all of my Co-Hosts, they've all been a great addition to my website and I've met some wonderful friends along the way! This week I have a special Momma to introduce you to. I found her website..........mmmmmm......from..........uhm.........oh yeah I remember now!! The 100 Top Mommy blogs. I went on a search for a good Mommy website because it's been awhile since I've featured a Mommy site. I've been down a lot lately, not sure exactly why, maybe I'm finally done with pregnancy, maybe it's the fear of bringing another baby into my family, or the disappointment I've experienced lately from some loved ones in my life.....for whatever reason, I find motivation from other people so off I went

This was a trial salad that turned into quite the delight. I made it with our last minute steak tips one night when it turned out to be 75 degrees! Then it turned into lunch 3 days the next week :) I used what I had on hand and I was quite proud of the results!! It's perfect with any grilled meal, ideal for a simple dish to bring to a BBQ, or have it as a side dish with your favorite sandwich! I know the goat cheese will make you wrinkle your forehead, usually I'd use chunks of mozzarella, I had this on hand and went with it, though the goat cheese crumbles and melts a bit, it gives the salad a cheesy taste that melts in your mouth!! Sounds crazy but trust me! I love cold Salads and my husband really doesn't so it gave me lunch on three different days! [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:23]

Not only is it #SundaySupper time but it's also a theme that I personally love!! Who doesn't LOVE Mexican food? Well this Momma does and so does her family so this week you are going to love these dishes!! This even is being hosted by a personal fav of mine! Jen from Junita's Cocina!!! Thanks for hosting such a mouth watering event Jen! When I was trying to decide what to make I thought back to some of the dishes that I've made in the past, I was tempted to make one of them again, but wanted to try something different. I used this event and this day as an excuse to make a few Mexican dishes! I've always wanted to try my own homemade Salsa before, I've also wanted to make a Mexican salad all on my own (meaning not from someone else's recipe) and I also wanted to try Tacquito's too

Happy Friday!!!! Let's do the Friday dance!!!!! I love this Friday because I have ANOTHER date night scheduled with my hubby tonight! Yay us!! I also love this Friday because I'm going to introduce you to a Co-Host that you are going to adore! Her name is Alida (pronounced with a LONG I) and she blogs over at Alida's Kitchen. Let's give her a warm welcome!! I met Alida through the #SundaySupper group, she has some amazing recipes, cooks on the healthier side and her photographs.........well they will make your mouth water so you'll just have to go and check them out! Alida loves everything peanut butter, pumpkin and muffins! Girl after my own heart, I can't believe I didn't choose a muffin to make with how much my daughter loves muffins, but she's been so picky lately that I've been

Cinco De Mayo used to mean Corona's all around when I was in my twenties!! I remember one year it was actually the day I moved into the very first home I had ever bought. That day/night consisted of A LOT of corona's! Well I'm not going to lie and say that Cinco De Mayo usually consists of a few flavorful margarita's for this Momma on a normal basis since those days of my twenties, before I found love in the kitchen that is. Then when I found that love, I just had those margarita's while making a new dish for me and my husband after our daughter would go to bed. It made for a nice night. An excuse to make something different. I love Mexican, my husband loves Mexican......it worked. However, this is my second pregnancy and yes the second Cindo De Mayo that I had to cut out the good ol'

Have you ever hosted a baby shower, bridal shower or any themed party? I've never hosted an actual shower before, only small gatherings with my friends for small holidays like St. Patrick's Day. I'd like to host a pretty big BBQ this summer for the birth of my son. We bought a new house this winter and we have many friends having either their first or second child! We have a beautiful new deck to break in so I'm looking forward to my first bash that consists of this Momma NOT being pregnant! In the mean time I thought I'd share some party tips and ideas with you. I've gotten these ideas over the years from others or my own experiences. Let me share with you a great idea I had when I got when I got engaged. I knew I wanted a Co-Ed bridal shower, I guess you could call it a Jack N Jill

So this weeks theme is all about trying something new. Something we've never made before, something we would like to experiment with. So let new cooking adventures consume your Sunday!!! Grab a cup of coffee and dive into new ventures in the kitchen this week! This fabulous event is hosted by The Foodie Army Wife. Thanks for hosting such a daring event Conni!! Besides once you see what I've chosen your going to want to check out my recipe, one because it rocked and two because, well I despise anything fishy. I vowed to never cook anything sea worthy in my kitchen. Like ever. Never. However.........I did it. I'm not sure what made me choose a seafood dish, there are plenty of things I have yet to try. Baking a cheesecake for example, or making Polenta, or how about a simple coffee cake,

Dear Madison & Drew, Hello my babies.......well Madison, your not quite the baby anymore. You are officially two and a half today! OMG! I've been going back on pictures a lot lately. You were such a chunky monkey. Gosh you were such a good baby. Each and everyday I see you grow inches I swear! Is it even possible for you to get more beautiful everyday? Yes it is my sweetheart. You are learning so much! One day while driving to school I said "Oh look at the yellow school bus!" You starting motioning with your arms and singing "The Wheels on the Bus go round and round...." I was instantly blown away. Instant tears to my eyes, yes I know it doesn't take much for mommy to tear up these days. I'm proud what can I say! Unfortunately I thought we had already reached the terrible twos

Happy Friday everyone!!! One of my favorite days of the week.....usually because it means I can sleep in the next day (well not sleep in but not have to jump out of bed to get boo!) but this weekend I look forward to a date night tomorrow night with friends of ours that are always a lot of fun! This Momma is in need of getting out! We are trying a Japanese Steak House in the town that we moved to a few months back. Hey when you can't enjoy a margarita, sip on a martini or glass of wine with a girlfriend to gossip and catch up, food is just everything when dining out OK!! Speaking of eating out........let's talk about our Co-Host for today! Stephie blogs over at Eat Your Heart Out. How cute of a name is that, gosh I'm always blown away at the names that people come up with, I sure which

Guess what!!! I have another new exciting #WeekdaySupper for you all! Yup!! Something "Easy Peasy" and YUMMY!! Another five fabulous menu options from our #SundaySupper contributors are coming to you this week! I see a Shrimp dish on the menu and Waffle Sandwiches! I can't wait to check those out! Today's is a Beef or Pork entree so when I made this for my family a few weeks back I figured it was the perfect addition to share with you all! It was an awesome dish to make the week after Easter because we had a ton of leftover ham to use up, I don't know about you but I love making a ham dinner because you can always count on some awesome left over dishes, big honking ham sandwiches or even throwing some ham in your breakfast some mornings! You can't go wrong with leftover ham. My family
