I am all about simple, healthy and yummy treats. These Strawberry Valentine Clusters are AMAZING! I had to restrain myself from eating the whole batch. That is when I quickly decided to gift them rather than eat them all. …

Flourless, High Protein Breakfast Cookies

After the holiday madness, most of us made a resolution to start the new year on a healthy note.  We are only one month in and with Super Bowl weekend quickly approaching, many of us will be thrown off track by the endless buffets of fried foods, chips and dips.  You don’t have to deprive yourself during the big game, just make sure to practice intuitive eating and consume foods in moderation. Pay attention to portions, and always stock up on proteins and fresh fruits and veggies since they…

Zucchini “Pasta” with Shrimp and Cherry Tomatoes

First, I'd like to send BIG love to my hubby for making the BEST dinner last night. Seriously, it was fan-fricken-tastic. After a long and tiring week, he made us:…

Have you ever found the perfect granola?  I have not, so one day I decided to make up my own recipe for granola.  The only problem with making your own, is you may eat too much because it is so tasty but other than that one small downfall, you will love it.…

This is by far my most requested soup recipe and it’s amazing and warm and perfect for cold winter nights.  My family loves it and so do their friends.  Matter of fact, Emily has two friends that request this almost every time they come over!  I love…

There's nothing better in the world than having a weekend with a baby (if sarcasm could drip, it would be pouring). For those moms who can cart their little ones off to their parents' house (or have a sitter come to you), I am envious, and I salute you.

For the rest of us who are chained to our little ones, the weekend goes something like this:

1. Wake up before the sun has risen (maybe even a few times) despite the fact that you would sell your husband's right nut to…

We have a lot of quick easy apple recipes here at Taking Time for Mommy and I thought I would put them all together for…

Who would say "no" to Five Gold Rings? Not I! 

Well, before you get too excited, I’m talking about Five Golden ONION Rings. Add a little Hot Sauce and you’re in business.

Hey, what’d you expect? Christmas is over and we’re still teetering on the edge of the fiscal cliff! My true love is VERY generous, but this is no time to start throwing money around!…

A few weeks ago, I shared a cocoa kit my children and I are giving to the teachers this year. Originally, I included some snickerdoodle cookies along with the cocoa fixings. Well, we ate all of the snickerdoodles before I could finish assembling the boxes, so I made a new batch of cookies this weekend. We used one of my mom's recipes for …

The Story: As a child, I typically didn’t care for family meals since, unlike my parents, I’m not a “meat and potatoes” kind of person. But there was one dish, Goulash, that I did enjoy. Today, I make it for my family – with many modifications, of course. This Grab…
