I'm so excited for this Football season and Walmart is my go-to store for all things Football! Game day grub has to be one of my all time favorite styles of food. It could be because it's always served more 'family style' and left as perfectly bites sized, snack worthy eats and treats. Or it could be because game day means the end of summer and the beginning of fall. I'm ready for the cooler weather. Bring it on!
Being a native Texan means that I'm even more into the spirit of game day. Every game day in Texas is basically a small holiday. We take our football and our game day spread almost as seriously as we take our BBQ...
Everything (But the Underpants) Movie Night Snack Chocolate Bark

I'm always super excited around here for the release of movies. It's always been fun to have themed movie nights where I create dished inspired by the movie we're watching. One of the last movies we saw was 'Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie' at the drive in movie theater this summer. It was really such a fun kids movie. So, I thought with it about to be released that I would make a Captain Underpants themed treat!
Captain Underpants is perfect for family movie night. It's a film with a lot of heart. I love that the story explores the great friendship between Harold and George and their connection through a love of writing and creativity...
Healthy 7 Layer Fourth of July Dip
It's the fourth of July weekend! While I'm spending it rather lazily at home as I recuperate from a few weeks of busy, busy, busy - I'm still finding the time to have fun and be festive! With an impromptu visit from my brother, I decided to toss together a quick 'snacky' meal that we could all graze on throughout the day at our leisure.
Naturally, my first inclination was a 7 layer dip. I think that's because it's one of those things that has something it in that everyone likes! It's one perfect montage or mashup of everything I love. Plus, it's perfectly light and cool for a hot summer day. And of course, since it's around the 4th of July, you just know I had to arrange this dip into the shape of the American flag to be all the more cute and festive!...
Read MoreHoney Beer Cupcakes with Fresh Blueberry Buttercream
My dad's birthday always falls around Father's day, which usually means... double the celebrations! Some of his most favorite beers are from the local Austin brewery, Infamous Brewing Company. I've had the honor of meeting the owner (Josh) and hanging out at the brewery a few times. They've won a LOT of medals for their selection of regular and seasonal beers. Their Pumpkin Massacre is a family favorite when it comes around in the fall.
Their brewery was literally right down the street from my parents when they lived over near the lake. Now it's a bit of a trek for either of us, so unfortunately we don't get to go there much anymore. The good news is that they sell Infamous beer in almost any store here around Austin and most of Texas too. If you can't find Infamous near you though, you could always use another beer of your preference for these cupcakes...

We're almost to the middle of the week, and if you're anything like me the craziness is only just starting to settle in! I know that it can sometimes be a struggle to make the right decisions for a more wholesome dinner option when in the chaos of the week. That's why I like to plan ahead with my weekly menu planner and shopping list. Another thing I do is keep my pantry and fridge stocked with staples that I know, love, and trust.
With the big game still on my mind from this past weekend, my mind has been stuck in fun mode. That's always a good thing when feeding the family! Especially the little ones. One thing that my daughter loves the most (eating it anywhere from 1-3 times a week) has to be pizza. And one of my favorite things? Burgers! So, I decided to merge the two together today into one perfectly awesome and tasty fusion dinner...
Read MoreSkinny Juicy Lucy Meatballs
Remember when I made those fantastically cheesy Healthified Juicy Lucy Burgers? Yeah, well they now come in meatball form! And just in time for gameday too. For these meatballs, I took my favorite cocktail meatballs and those Juicy Lucy Burgers and fused them together to make one epic appetizer. They're easy to make, full of flavor, and what could be better than a gooey cheesy stuffed meatball?
Not a lot.
So just to be clear, these are not your average Italian style meatball. Oh, no. These are an americanized modge-podge if ever there was one. I do have a more traditional stuffed meatball if that's more of what you're looking for (also made in the crock pot along with a sauce.)...
