My sister who has the site Diz Thru Brown Eyes has asked me to contribute to her site with cooking some favorite recipes from the Disney restaurants and resorts. Her site focuses on sharing her love of the Mouse and demonstrates that Disney is not just for kids. You can also find her on Twitter and Facebook. Iwill…

Sugar Cookie Bars
What a great, different way to enjoy sugar cookies! This was especially easy for me because I had some sugar cookie dough in the freezer (yes, you can freeze sugar cookie dough!). All I had to do was let the dough defrost, bake, make the frosting, and add sprinkles. Even if you had to make the dough,…
Cinnamon Bread
Mmmm, fresh cinnamon bread coming out of the oven. There aren’t too many more smells better than this. This bread was so good that I had to stop from eating more than 2 slices the evening I baked it. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins since I already had them on hand. I also…
Honey Lime Chicken with Black Bean Rice
Making a dish like this made me want to be on an island where it was warm. At least it was easy to prepare and cook. The one thing I hate was I didn’t cook the rice in the coconut milk as the original recipe states. I knew I had a can in the pantry when…
Strawberry Cream Cheese Cookies
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…
