Yummy, but Easy Potato Salad

by madeitateitlovediton March 11, 2016March 11, 201612 Comments

I spend a lot of time cooking with my mom. She owns a catering company and also does gift baskets and different treats for professional offices around Arizona. I am her right hand person and I love it. One of the benefits to working along side my mom is that I get to spend a lot of time with her and her friends and neighbors that stop by through out the day! A few years back she had a neighbor named Kjersten that I absolutely love. She would come over and hang out with us while her kids were at …

Also have fresh healthier ingredients always seems to help too! When taking pictures of meals that I make …

Chunky Baked Potato Soup

by madeitateitlovediton February 15, 2016February 15, 2016Leave a Comment

My oldest sons favorite food is baked potatoes! He asks for them multiple times a week! So we almost always have russet potatoes at our home to add as a side dish or an after school snack for my son. This soup is a perfect one to use up your extra baked potatoes. Which is great with meal prep and planning. I always like planning out my meals so that I know ahead of time to make a little extra of something to make my life easier on another meal. Also if I do not plan ahead especially on bacon …

Happy New Year!!! A healthier lifestyle seems to always be a New Years resolution every year for myself and I believe most of you out there! In my opinion the best way to start is small steps! With meals that you know you already enjoy with a healthier spin on it! So after I did my turkey breast prep by cooking it in a slow cooker and slicing it I decided to make one of my families favorite dinners! Fajitas! Except I used turkey as the main source of protein to lower the fat and cholesterol content and up the …

Chicken and Veggies Kabobs with Tzatziki Sauce

by madeitateitlovediton September 15, 2015September 15, 2015Leave a Comment

Our family loves kabobs. I feel like my kids eat more of their dinner when it is on a stick then any other form. I could have the same exact dish just on my kids plate and they wouldn’t touch it but put it on a kabob and they are all for it! These plate has a few of my favorite things to eat on it. This loaded Italian salad is a personal favorite. I keep all the ingredients in my fridge and serve this weekly with our meals. It is my husbands favorite salad right now and usually ends …

What Happens on a turkey farm? And a yummy Turkey Kabob Recipe

by madeitateitlovediton June 15, 2015June 15, 20159 Comments

A few months ago I went to a great blog conference called Mom 2.0 where I was able to meet some great people, being influenced by some great speakers, and be introduced to some amazing brands. One of the nights there was a fun Happy Hour Tent Party and that is where I was able to be introduced to a great company Shady Brook Farms and Honey Suckle White. That night they had a great big mural that everyone who wanted to could be apart of painting. I remember very distinctively the conversations I had with one of the 700 famers …

Easy Pasta Salad

by madeitateitloveditupdated on September 18, 2018June 4, 20151 Comment

Pasta salad will always remind me of my older sister for some reason. I don’t know if its because she used to always ask my mom to make it for her when we were growing up or what! But for some reason every single time I make it I can’t help but think about her! Pasta salad is one of those things that I feel is good all year around. But it is especially food during BBQ season! Whenever I see a pasta salad at a BBQ or a family gathering I always go to it first and get a …

Sweet Potatoes

This sweet potato recipe is by far my favorite sweet potato recipe I have ever tried. When I received a package of Santé Nuts I knew that it would be the perfect addition to make this recipe even better for our Thanksgiving meal this year! The only challenge was picking which pecans I wanted to add! Cinnamon pecans for the Win! Totally took this recipe up a notch! We have been using our Santé nuts on salads, in our smoothies and in oatmeal, muffins and other yummy recipes. And here is how you make these yummy sweet potatoes: First you mix the …

Coconut Chicken Curry

by madeitateitlovediton November 14, 2014November 14, 2014Leave a Comment

Curry is definitely not a staple in our home. I do enjoy the unique flavor of curry on occasion though. My husband backpacked through Thailand for 3 months years ago and said that curry was in almost every dish that he ate for that 3 months so he hasn’t eaten too much curry since then. So that explains the reason curry isn’t a staple in our home. But on the other hand as a women who cooks dinner practically every night sometimes you have a mix it up! I flip through cookbook after cookbook and look on pinterest for hours …
