I am way behind in my posting, but thanks for being patient with me! This was to be my second Valentine’s Day post, but much like the Valentine’s Day Snack Mix, these cookies can be made anytime! They have a cake mix foundation, so they are pretty easy and quick to mix up. I had…

Valentine’s Day Snack Mix
Going back to work and having sinus congestion don’t work well with trying to do a Valentine’s Day post. I just couldn’t get it together over the past couple of days, but here I am with goodies that you can adapt for any time of the year, not just Valentine’s Day, with different color M&Ms…
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Happy Valentine’s Day all! I am a little under the weather but wanted to post a little something (from my phone). I have cookies and some party mix to share so come back in a few days. In the meantime, here is some love from Little G.
Shredded Roast Beef Sandwiches
Happy day after the Super Bowl! Did you team win? Did you have a big party or attend one? We had a quiet Super Bowl in the Givens household, but of course I had to cook something. I wanted easy going food, so I chose these sandwiches and served sweet potato fries with them. I…
Honey Cinnamon Roasted Chickpeas
This is Baby G’s first week in day care….and of course I’m sad. Luckily, I have plenty of things to keep me busy including some baking so be on the look out for some great posts. If anyone would like to come by to clean out my file cabinet and shred some papers for me,…
White Bean & Sausage Ragout with Tomatoes, Kale, and Zucchini
I love Cooking Light magazine. I haven’t cooked anything out of it since I bought a subscription though, but have tagged many (lol)! I did buy Cooking Light’s Cooking Through the Seasons when Borders bookstores were going out of business. It was a great time to stock up on cookbooks! I made this a breezy afternoon…
Sun Dried Tomato Hummus
I love hummus and finally found a hummus recipe that I love, but when I saw this one with sun dried tomatoes, I knew I had to try it. I love sun dried tomatoes! I bought the ingredients last fall, but didn’t have the energy to make it. You know I was baking up this guy…
Sour Cream Chicken & Noodles
I had some sour cream in the fridge that I needed to use up so I went searching for recipes. I found this one from Whole Foods. It was lacking in some flavor but was filling. I left out the mushrooms because Mr. G doesn’t like them and decided to use wheat egg noodles. If…
Cranberry Feta Pinwheels
I almost forgot to post these! This is one of the appetizers I served before Christmas Eve dinner. They were a great option because I could make them the day before and they had red and green in them (but are good for anytime of the year). Our visitors really enjoyed them and we did…
Mexican Hot Chocolate Roasted Pecans
This is the last of the edible gifts I made during the holidays. I had these as takeaways after the Christmas Eve dinner we hosted at my house. I made two batches after thinking the first didn’t have the kick of spice that I wanted it to. After adding 3 pinches of cayenne to the second…
