I don't know about you, but one of the best ways to eat leftover pizza is for breakfast.  I remember doing this quite frequently growing up, especially during my college years.  And yes, I ate the leftover pizza cold, of course!  A few mornings ago I decided to combine my love for breakfast food and [...]

Soup season is definitely in full swing, especially with the sudden drop in temperatures here in Iowa over the past few days.  And thank goodness for that, because now I can feel less crazy for making soups and stews A LOT (I guess it is "weird" to crave and cook chili in the middle of [...]

On Tuesday of this past week my boyfriend and I headed out for what I would call "the perfect fall day."  Not only was the weather great with 70 degree temperatures in October (minus it being a bit too windy, for my liking), but we had several fun fall-themed activities planned.  We started the day [...]

I don't know about you, but I love ice cream!  Ice cream from the grocery store, soft-serve ice cream, frozen yogurt...you name it, I love it!  What I do not like is the fat and calories associated with fulfilling my cravings for ice cream.  While this recipe is not the same thing as "real" ice cream, [...]
