FridayFavorites_new.jpg

There’s a pretty big football game this weekend. Regardless of your position on the game, you probably are planning some fun snacks to much on while you watch the game (or just the commercials).  So, for this week’s Friday Favorites, I thought I’d share the game day appropriate recipes that caught my eye this week……

2010-11-19_ThanksgivingGuide.jpg

I have hosted Thanksgiving dinner at my house for the past couple years. This time around, I have the year off.

I will also be traveling with my handy dandy meat thermometer, which I believe is the key to a perfect Thanksgiving turkey. Whether it’s my kitchen or my mom’s, there’s no better place to be on Thanksgiving day!

Mediterranean Spaghetti Squash with Grilled Sausage and Zucchini

After a weekend of baking and eating out (because I was too exhausted from all of the baking to make dinner), I decided it would be in my best interest to make a healthy meal for dinner on Monday night. It seems that when I allow myself to splurge a little bit, it snowballs and I…

Quick Tuna Artichoke Melts

Ingredients: 12 ounces (2 – 6 ounce cans) of white tuna in water 14 ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped 2…
