Crab Cake Bites with Sriracha Aioli

When game time rolls around, our friends and family know where to go. Our house has become the unofficial game day central. Of course, there’s plenty of football on the television and football talk in the house. But it’s so much than that. It’s time for fun. It’s time to unwind and create memories with those we hold dear. In our house, football is more than just a game. So when it comes time to entertain, snacks are almost as important as the games itself. One appetizer that never disappoints is my Crab Cake Bites served with Ritz Crackers and a nice, cold bottle of Coca-Cola. [Read more…] about Crab Cake Bites with Sriracha Aioli

Spiralized Sweet Potato Fries

Spiralized vegetables seem to be the cool new way to eat your veggies. We had a spiralizer before that I ended up throwing away because it didn’t work that great and just wasn’t worth the hassle. But my kids for some reason love spiralized veggies especially these Spiralized Sweet Potato Fries so I had to find a better option. Enter the Ninja Precision Processor™ with Auto-Spiralizer™.           [Read more…] about Spiralized Sweet Potato Fries

Crab Poppers with Sriracha Aioli
I’m always looking to serve delicious appetizers whenever we have a holiday gathering. If it’s something I’m going to be serving at our holiday parties, the recipes need to meet a couple of things. First, whatever I’m making needs to be delicious. I want my guests to keep coming back for more. Second, it needs to be an easy recipe. I want something I can whip up quick so I can spend less time in the kitchen and more time with my family and friends. Luckily, these Crab Poppers with Sriracha Aioli Crab Poppers with Sriracha Aioli dipping sauce meet both of my requirements.

Pumpkin Shaped Dinner Rolls

pumpkin shaped dinner rolls

With just a few days until Thanksgiving, it seems my to-do list is getting longer and longer. My turkey is nowhere near being ready (it’s still frozen solid), an unexpected trip to the dentist pushed me a few hours behind schedule today and I still have to finish my shopping! It’s a never-ending cycle over here. Thankfully I have my desserts and sides covered so it’s a matter of dealing with my minor turkey emergency and making sure I have plenty of options for my pickiest eaters.  It seems like every holiday there’s always one kid in attendance who only wants to eat the rolls. Well this year, they’re going to be in for a fun little surprise with these fun pumpkin shaped dinner rolls.

Cranberry Brie Chicken Bites – A Must Have on your Dinner Menu

Cranberry Brie Chicken Bites

Holiday dinners with my family is an all-day affair. Guests usually arrive sometime mid-morning and we all gather in the kitchen finishing up the food planned for the day and it’s usually pretty late before anyone leaves. Especially at Thanksgiving when it’s really an all-day event since the girls usually head out for a little Black Friday shopping late in the day. So in addition to our typical dinner menu, I like to plan out easy finger foods that I can serve throughout the day. This year, these Cranberry Brie Chicken Bites will be going on all my holiday menus.  [Read more…] about Cranberry Brie Chicken Bites – A Must Have on your Dinner Menu

  • Still one of my favorite memories! Dale grabbed Evie’s hand and took her to roast some marshmallows on our Disney Cruise 🚢 to Alaska. Hard to believe that was almost a year ago! As we gear up for a busy few months of travel and adventure, I’m reminded just how grateful I am for all our adventures. While we’ll be seeing our friends Chip & Dale real soon, our next trip has us visiting Puerto Rico, St. Thomas and Grand Turk in just a few days. Do you have any adventures coming up? Where would you like to go before the year is over? • • • • • • • @disneycruiseline #disneycruise #disneycruiseline #disneyhosted #dcl #dclalaska #disneywonder

  • Do you have a favorite resort at Walt Disney World? We’ve stayed at so many it’s tough for me to pick a favorite. Last November we stayed at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and loved it! The kids loved watching the animals, especially the giraffes 🦒. Our room faced the Savannah and it anytime we were in the room, they raced out there to try and spot the animals. It was such a stunning resort and I cannot wait to stay there again. In a few weeks we’re headed back to our favorite place. To check out all the #WDWFall fun! So stay tuned! 😉 • • • • • • #disney #wdw #disneyhotels #animalkingdomlodge #akl #disneymom #disneyfamilia #disneysmc #disneylife #disneyworld #disneyphotography #disneyig #disneyfamily #disneylifestyle #igdisney

  • #ad Ok ladies, let’s talk periods. Most women hate their period, but for some, heavy periods can impact their health and wellbeing. In a recent survey, 3 in 5 women reported at least one symptom of heavy periods, but more than half of those women (57%) never discussed it with their doctor. It’s time to break the silence. Heavy periods keep women from living their life to the fullest, but there are treatment options that can help. Don’t wait to start the conversation with your doctor.
