Crab Cakes and Spicy Mustard Sauce

Only a few days left until this multitasking mom heads back to work.  It’s been such a wonderful 6+ months at home. I’m so torn about going back.  Part of me is excited… excited about the new job, happy that I found something that sounds like such a perfect fit, excited to (yes, I admit) [...]

Lightened-Up Creamy Caesar Salad Dressing

I still continue to buy store-bottled dressings, and then end up throwing them out in disgust, vowing to only make my own.  I’ve made this one for years. It’s a bit thick, so you can thin it out a bit with some skim milk if you’d like.  So, use sparingly, mix up, then add more [...]

Italian Beef Sandwiches

Ok, I promised last week to post one of my “famous” recipes.  So, I was packing for our trip, and made this in the crock pot.  By the time we were all done eating, and I had taken leftovers to our neighbor, I realized I didn’t take a picture. So, next time I make it [...]

Strawberry Basil Lemonade Cocktail

My husband was recently out of town for a business trip, so I invited the girls over.  I’m not sure what I was thinking… throwing a little party while taking care of two kids by myself… but it turned out fun (even if I was getting dressed 5 minutes before it started).  The kids played [...]

Chicken Zucchini Alfredo

I’m not sure who alfredo was, but he is number 1 in my book!  I’d love to drown myself in a bowl of alfredo sauce from the ol’ Olive Garden, but the WW points value is ridiculous.  Here’s a slimmed down version that really hits the spot.  It’s creamy and delicious.  Plus, there’s the added [...]
