In a continuing quest to offer healthier options, I decided to make granola. I normally put granola in my yogurt. I received some Cascadian Farms granola after the Peachtree Road Race, and it was very good. I wanted to try it myself so that I could come up with my own add-ins eventually plus save…

Salmon Burgers
We remember my last salmon recipe that went from fail to score right (read about it here if you have forgotten)? This time I made sure I had eggs before I got started. This is a simple recipe and there are far more complicated ones out there. It’s just too hot to be in the…

Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Sausage
I have made the recipe before (pre-blog) and forgot all about it until I was browsing through my recipe notebook one day. It is from a website I visited often when I was planning for my wedding, Brown and Bridal. Mr. G enjoyed it, so I decided to prepare it again. It is flavorful and…

Vanilla Cupcakes
I made some vanilla cupcakes for someone over the weekend. Since, I doubled the recipe, I had just enough batter to add to 2 ramekins so Mr. G and I could have a little vanilla cake for ourselves. I topped the cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and Wilton Cake Sparkles. The original recipe calls for…
Stuffed Peppers
Oh boy! This is my 100th post. I will admit I am having fun and learning new things along the way. I hope you are finding the recipes I post useful in your household. I made stuffed peppers late last week. I was quite excited about them too. That is, until Mr. G decided to…
Mini Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
I am trying to cook healthier meals around the Givens household. Both of us usually eat breakfast when we get to work so I thought some blueberry muffins would be a nice item to eat on the go. These are made with whole wheat flour and unsweetened applesauce. They tasted great and had just a…
