You may have seen it in the grocery store or seen the pins on Pinterest on how to make it. You may have even heard someone in a coffee shop order their drink with it. Oat Milk seems to be a new craze. I avoided it for a while as I don’t love milk in the first place but I kept seeing it over and over. Then I saw that it only takes five minutes to make and I was intrigued.
There were so many questions. Is it really that easy to make? What are the health benefits? Are there dangers? The list went on and on. But the most important question was, how does oat milk taste?

I’ve been known to become a little overzealous when it comes to things. Like the time I wanted to learn how to make Italian food and that was all we ate for 3 months. Or the time I cooked through an entire Campbells soup cookbook because I wanted to learn about soup.
My current obsession is Bagel Spice Seasoning. You may have heard of it because it has been around for a while but I only recently got on the bandwagon and I may never hop off. It is delicious and I am putting it on so many things. I am already on my second bottle.
Enter the Bagel Spice Tomatoes. This is a vegetarian appetizer that comes together in minutes, is simple to prepare and everyone will love. You need to make this!

You’ve made dinner. It’s a chicken recipe you’ve cooked dozens of times. You followed the recipe to a “t” and yet the chicken is rubbery.
It’s so frustrating!
There are several causes to rubbery chicken and a few of them may have nothing to do with how you cooked it. Perhaps the chicken is to blame.

There are millions of recipes out there. You need to make dinner so you narrowed it down to one however you just don’t know how it will turn out. That leads us to the question, how to tell if a recipe is good?
These experiences really got me thinking just how to tell if a recipe is good? After analyzing a bunch of great recipes, learning about recipe development and cooking some pretty good and bad dinners I came upon six things to look for in a good recipe.

Grocery Shopping online. Have you tried it?
I’m a huge online shopper and purchase my groceries online every week. It’s to the point where my children go into a grocery store and are amazed at all the food they have in there. We go to the food store that infrequently.
I was aware of the fees for delivery but what about food costs? Are the prices inflated? I was curious and set out on a mission. After comparing various online retailers with brick and mortar stores, I can now answer the question, is it cheaper to grocery shop online? Want to learn more?

Life is full of ups and downs. Thankfully we have wonderful friends that are there for us when we need them.
And sometimes, even if we don’t care to admit it, we need help. And what better way to help someone in need than to cook them a meal?
After I had my second baby, I was lucky enough to have a bunch of friends
Perhaps you have a sick neighbor, or a friend that was recently in the hospital, or a friend that had a baby. Life is busy enough, add any of these situations to the mix and worlds get turned upside down.
Anyone of them would probably love a homecooked meal. But just how do you go about bringing food to a friend? And most importantly, what do you make? I’ve got you covered.

…What the heck am I cooking this week?
Do you ask yourself this question regularly? The struggle is real. I used to scroll through Pinterest and try to figure out just what the heck I was going to make each week. That is hard enough in and of itself. Add in trying to find meals that everyone would eat and didn’t take all day to prepare and I was overwhelmed. Then I figured out how to fill your meal plan with meals your family will love.

…How to meal plan the Kitchen Chalkboard way.
Is your late afternoon hectic? Maybe you are racing around to take your kids to activities or getting home from a crazy day at work. The hours between 4-7 can be nuts. You get home and stare at the refrigerator and think, what the heck am I going to make for dinner? I hear you and I’m here to help.
I used to do the same thing and we wound up eating a fair amount of takeout food. Until I started meal planning. Ever since then, I saved money and time. Dinner is no longer something I worry about. I still think about it obsessively because I love food (wink) but I do not worry about what’s for dinner.
Now you may have wanted to meal plan before and never got around to it. Or you just don’t know where to start. I get it! I am here to help. Read on to find the step-by-step instructions on how to meal plan and stick to it. I’ve done this method for years and it works.

I had the wonderful pleasure of my mom staying over while my husband traveled a week or so ago. It was so nice to have quality time with her and my kids were in heaven. She’s not too adventurous when eating so I always try to be thoughtful about what I’m going to serve her. This dish immediately came to mind because it completely fits the bill — simple, flavorful and didn’t take too long to prepare. Time to talk about Easy Sheet Pan Chicken with Potatoes and Pears.
