Balancing the Good Things in Life
These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Egg Nests are a quick, easy, no-bake cookie you can whip up in minutes. They are a great spring treat to serve around Easter. And just look at them! They are adorable! This recipe was created when I wanted to make traditional haystacks (made with butterscotch chips), but I didn’t […]
The only thing better than ice cream is homemade ice cream. I’ve tried many ice cream recipes over the years, but none as fun, quick, and easy as No Churn Double Swirl Ice Cream. There is nothing to cook ahead of time and as the name implies, you don’t even have to churn it! You […]
This Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is about as easy as a crockpot recipe can get. You don’t have to chop, peel or dice anything. You don’t even have to remember to thaw out the chicken! Just open packages, dump in, and collect the compliments at dinner time. Another great thing about this soup is that […]
I’ve been experimenting with my Cake Mix Cookie recipe and wanted to create a pretty green cookie for St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. Don’t these green cookies just scream, “Springtime!” I wanted something different than the mint chocolate chip flavor that seems to dominate this time of year.

This easy Baked Chicken and Rice is the ultimate comfort food. It’s inexpensive to make, can be made with leftover chicken, and cooks in one dish. This is a great meal to serve a large crowd (just double the recipe) or to deliver to a sick friend or to someone welcoming a new baby. It’s perfect […]
If you have a bit of a sweet tooth and love wine, then sangria is the beverage for you! I like making a batch of this a couple of days before we’re having friends over for a game night or cookout. I have several sangria recipes for different occasions, but this Pink Moscato Sangria is perfect […]
Without a doubt, microwave popcorn is one of the most convenient snack foods. And while popcorn has a reputation for being a healthy snack, you might want to check that label again. What kind of oil is used? Are there added preservatives? Does it contain allergens? Why bother making your own popcorn? Well, here are some reasons […]
You wander into the kitchen looking for a little something sweet to eat, but all you find is that your kids have wiped out every single cookie and snack cake in the house. There’s a cake mix on the shelf in the pantry, but you really don’t want to bake and frost a cake. Wait […]
