I made bagels. BAGELS! I know, right? And everything bagels at that (everybody knows they are the best kind). They seem so mythical and difficult and well, just not something you do at home. But let me tell you, it’s all a lie. Bakeries want you to think that so you go and buy them. Forget that.
Super Bowl weekend is going to be a crazy one for us this year. The kids and I are driving down to Kansas City for my nieces 7th birthday while Joel will be in Iowa for a work trip. We’ll be getting home just in time to watch the game so that means I don’t have
In need of a quick weeknight side dish? These skillet drop biscuits can be whipped up and ready in 30 minutes. It’s seriously hard to believe Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away.

For me, egg salad is one of those things I have to be in the mood to eat and when I am it totally hits the spot. Egg salad doesn’t really require a recipe so this is just a start and you can add or subtract ingredients depending on your personal preferences. That being said,
Besides cucumber dip, this Baked Spinach Dip is my absolute favorite dip/appetizer EVER. And it’s obviously healthy since cream cheese, bacon, mayo, cheddar cheese, spinach is such a prominent ingredient. Duh. How could you go wrong with that list of ingredients? It’s really one of those things you indulge in rarely, but when you do
