The idea of a 12-hour adventure elicits memories of all day hikes in Kauai, touring around San Francisco or checking out the sites in New York City. Since becoming a mom, all of these exciting adventures have become an almost distant memory. These days my 12-hour adventures take on a whole new meaning….

Pumpkin Muffin Cookies have been a staple for us this Fall. They are soft, chewy and healthy pumpkin cookies easily customized with chocolate chips, dried cranberries or your favorite mix-in.
Pumpkin Muffin Cookies are are soft, chewy pumpkin cookies studded with chocolate chips or whatever mix-in you might enjoy, such as raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, the options are limitless. These cookies are actually kind of a cross between a cookie and a muffin, which makes them perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or snack, or just any time you need a little pick-me-up. Like I shared with you over doughnuts last week, lots of pumpkin recipes going on here!
The portability of these healthy pumpkin cookies made them an essential snack for us during our Fall activities. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that our favorite activity this Fall was Sever’s Corn Maze! …
Pumpkin Pie Alpha-Bits Treats put a delicious pumpkin twist on classic marshmallow cereal treats made fun for kids using Alpha-Bits cereal.
Now that Halloween is over, Thanksgiving planning is in full force. My favorite part of Thanksgiving planning is dessert! While I absolutely love this crustless pumpkin pie recipe, it can be nice to mix things up a bit and make something new. Marshmallow cereal treats are always a favorite, especially with kids. I decided to combine my favorite Thanksgiving dessert (pumpkin pie) with a treat that kids love (marshmallow cereal treats) to create a fun Thanksgiving treat ~ these Pumpkin Pie Alpha-Bits Treats!…
Pumpkin Baked Doughnuts are healthier doughnuts, baked (not fried) made with whole wheat flour and topped with Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Icing.
Clearly we all know what I love best about Fall…pumpkin recipes! We have gone pumpkin crazy over here this year, with pumpkin cake, muffins, pasta, cake again, and now doughnuts. After finally acquiring a couple doughnut pans, naturally my first go-to recipe is for Pumpkin Baked Doughnuts….
Chicken Fajita Pasta is a healthy and quick family meal made delicious using a Kraft Recipe Makers meal kit!
After a long day of juggling two kids, their activities, naps (or no naps), the big question is ‘what’s for dinner tonight?’ While we often have big ideas of recipes to try, what we really end up needing is a quick, easy meal. We want something healthy too. This Chicken Fajita Pasta is just that – healthy, easy and delicious! It is made with fresh chicken, vegetables, cheese and a delicious sauce, which is actually my new secret weapon. This little secret of mine is Kraft Recipe Makers!

With Fall schedules in full swing, between school and activities for Adam, and Greta’s new favorite hobby of walking all over the place (with assistance, but yikes!), life is bizzzzy! Add in Mike traveling for work, and it can be downright exhausting. By the end of the day, sometimes it is hard to muster up the energy to cook a dinner for one. While I have a long list of quick and easy dinner recipes, it seems like a lot of work to cook for just me (especially since Mike typically does the dishes). It is important to set a healthy example for the kids, however, so frozen pizza (or just ice cream!) just won’t do.
For my latest dinner for one, I was standing in the frozen foods section at Target trying to find something quick and easy, but healthy too. One of my friends recommended Lean Cuisine’s new collection of Lean Cuisine Honestly Good meals. Having been underwhelmed by frozen meals before, I admit I was skeptical. But I was willing to take her word for it. Since they are full of 100% all natural, wholesome ingredients with a sauce you add yourself, it was worth a try!
There are six different varieties to choose from: Honey Citrus Chicken, Lemongrass Salmon, Pineapple Black Pepper Beef, Plum Ginger Grain-Crusted Fish, Pomegranate Chicken, Roasted Red Pepper Chicken.
I chose Roasted Red Pepper Chicken, and in just 5 easy minutes, I had…well look at the picture first, then I will tell you about it….
Baked Barbecue Chicken is a quick and easy recipe for enjoying a classic favorite, made in a healthy way. For some reason, Barbecue Chicken always makes me think of summer, but we enjoy this dish no matter what the weather is outside – even when there are several feet (!!) of snow on the ground! Perhaps it’s a little too early to be discussing snow…
The concept of Baked Barbecue Chicken is not new to the blog. I have made a few tweaks to the previous recipe to simplify the process and yield a shorter cooking time ~ all with great results. This recipe is very easy. You can make your own barbecue-style sauce (like this easy pantry sauce or this one if you like some spice). If you prefer, a store-bought sauce also works great. The recipe can easily be adjusted to yield more or fewer servings to fit your needs. I like to make plenty of extras because barbecue chicken is so versatile and leftovers can be transformed into something different for a quick and easy weeknight supper….
Biscoff Buttermilk Pancakes are light and fluffy, whole wheat, buttermilk pancakes made using Biscoff Spread.

This sweet, creamy, decadent spread is perfect over toast, with apples slices, or simply grab a spoon and dig in!…

The other day Adam and I made a trip to Walgreens for some Post Pebbles Cereal, but if you follow Alida’s Kitchen on Instagram, you already know this. I had several tasty recipe ideas swirling about, but also wanted to show Adam that you can take everyday items, such as cereal, and be creative. While I do have an easy recipe to share with you, first I have to tell you about the fun project we made with our Pebbles Cereal!…
