American Kitchen Stories

April 1, 2015 ·

In lieu of a recipe today, we are going to talk kitchens (~~and a $100 Visa gift card giveaway~~!!)

It is always said the kitchen is the heart of the home. With two little kids, the kitchen is not only the heart of the home, but it is grand central station! No matter what is going on, the moment I step foot in the kitchen to cook something, I have two cute little people clinging to my leg. I mean, where else would you dance around in a turkey tutu or do a dinosaur puzzle while playing rhythm sticks, right?

Fortunately, they also love to help! If only the same happened when it was time to clean…

Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins

February 14, 2015 ·

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Crystal Farms Cheese for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins are a lighter buttermilk cornbread muffin made delicious with the additions of cheddar cheese and garlic.

When in doubt, add cheese. This so true when it comes to many recipes, like baked chicken, quinoa bites, even scrambled eggs. We always keep of plenty of cheese on hand. No matter the variety, cheese just makes everything extra delicious! So when my family was craving cornbread (Rosemary Cornbread to be specific) and our rosemary plant happens to be currently buried under snow outside on the deck,…it was time to come up with something new. After using the Rosemary Cornbread recipe as a starting point, and of course adding cheese and other tasty goodness, I present to you an easy recipe for Garlic Cheddar Cornbread Muffins!…

Snacking with Bagel Bites

September 29, 2014 ·

I would love to be a fly on a wall at Adam’s school. He is there for hours every day, and it is like pulling teeth to get any details about what he does at school. Every day I ask, “What did you do at school today?” And every day the first answer is “I don’t know.” Sound familiar? It seems every mom I talk to experiences the same thing. I have started to ~~get~~ more creative and specific with my questions, like: “Who did you sit next to during circle time?” Only to be met with: “Mama, I don’t remember all the way back to circle time!” says the kid with a photographic memory.

Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger

June 5, 2014 ·

Get a protein-packed breakfast in minutes with this Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger. Perfect for when you want something quick, healthy and delicious!

Lately, I have been feeling more tired than usual and end up hungry in the late mornings. With intense morning workouts and spending long days caring for the kids, I am thinking it might be time to change up my breakfast routine and get a little more protein. My usual breakfast consists of oatmeal with cocoa powder, flax seed meal and a banana.

While I occasionally deviate to something with a little more protein, like Greek yogurt with berries or a smoothie, it always comes back to carb-heavy oatmeal. It’s quick to make, and I really like a hot breakfast. Thankfully this Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger has become the protein-packed solution to my breakfast woes.
