Halloween is coming, y'all! I know it's a little bit early, but I can't hold it in any more!
I'm always excited for Halloween to roll around, but this year even more so. I was a little too late in testing out these cookies last year to have them here in time for Halloween, but this year... I made good and sure they were the first Halloween treat to make the list!
These cookies are soft, sweet and perfectly delicate. Plus, they're super cute and festive for any Halloween gathering...

A fresh local butternut squash means Fall is finally here! I love it when I start to get my hands on winter squash. They are easily one of the most tasty and versatile foods out there. Anywhere from stuffing them, to roasting them, to mashing them as a puree. I'm sold. Hook, line, and sinker.
Not only are these tostadas easy to make, they're also a meal you can make off of one baking sheet; making it a perfect weeknight go-to for any busy family. And believe you me... I've been one busy gal! Friday really tested my limits and put me through the ringer. I ran around like a crazy person getting my daughter into her doctor and off to get an x-ray on her little footsie. So, I knew dinner was going to have to be supremely quick and hassle free...

If you haven't yet jumped onto the pressure cooker band wagon, you definitely should as soon as you can! I got mine back for my birthday and I haven't looked back. One of the things that I love the most about it is that it's multi-functional as a pressure cooker, crock pot, and even for a quick sauté. This makes it the perfect 'one pot' meal maker.
For a few weeks now, I've been working on perfecting this Asian Sweet Chili Chicken recipe. The first time I made it - it was really good. But, it wasn't quite where I wanted it to be. So, with a few more tweaks I gave it another go or two until I had it on point...

Good morning, beautiful.
This is another oldie but goodie that I decided needed to get a bit of an update. The pictures were old and out of date and my cooking style has changed tremendously. It's the process of the ever evolving home cook.
Originally when I made these tostadas, my grandmother is visiting me from Oregon coast. She usually comes down once a year for a good 4-6 weeks to indulge in the Texas heat. What can I say? She's a born and raised Texan that is now denied the sun except for a single week out of the year when a few rays manage to peek through the ever looming clouds in the sky there on the Oregon coast.
Don't get me wrong. I love Oregon. And further more... I love rain.
At any rate, one of my grandmother's favorite things to eat are tostadas...

So, over a year ago now I had made these amazingly delicious PB&J Cups that were some of my most favorite homemade candies ever. Party because they were so good, and partly because they were - well - more wholesome for being homemade. These Marbled Chocolate & Matcha Candy Cups are no different.
They chocolate used here is a dark chocolate, which instantly gives you a few more benefits than most other chocolates. And to make it even better, I filled them with a matcha butter that is perfectly balanced with the swarms of white chocolate to give just the right amount of sweetness without being an overkill...

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Sejoyia, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CocoRoonsAtWalmart http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV
I don't know about you, but I'm still settling into the school day routine all over again. It's hit me hard this year. I guess because my little girl was eagerly sleeping in pretty decently in the summer and now all the sudden it's a 6 am wakeup call to drag her out of bed. She isn't like me. She isn't a morning person.
It's easy (even for me) in the midst of chaotic mornings to not eat as well as I should, or even *GASP* eat nothing at all. Recently I got my hands on these Sejoyia Coco-Roons and I gotta say, they are perfectly portable, popable, mom-friendly, guilt-free snacks. But, I decided to take them a step further from snacking today to include them in this Cocoa Banana Cherry Power Bowl!...
