Simple and Delicious Fish Tacos
October 13, 2011
I got to make these fish tacos in the Betty Crocker test kitchen a couple of years ago and they've been a dinner staple ever since. You will not BELIEVE how easy and DELICIOUS they are. Every single member of my family loves them and they only take a few minutes to put together! INGREDIENTS 1 box frozen breaded fish sticks or fillets 1 16 oz bag cole slaw mix 1/2 cup mayonnaise 1 packet taco seasoning (I use 'mild'...

Zucchini Chips- Your Kids WILL Eat Them!
September 28, 2011
Oh, Y'ALL. I was not at all convinced that my kids would eat these Zucchini Chips when I saw the recipe. But after reading that they had gotten RAVES from other kids, I decided to give them a whirl -- and I'm so glad I did! These are magnificent. They are super-easy to make, healthy, and delicious, and your whole family will eat and LOVE them. I can practically guarantee it. I just told my children these were "homemade...

Applesauce Nut Bread
September 21, 2011
I've been scouring the web lately for healthy ideas for my kids' lunchboxes. And I've been coming up empty. Kudos to you if bell peppers in the shape of a face is all it takes to get your kids to eat them. My kids are, uh, smarter than that. They won't eat it UNLESS IT TASTES GOOD. And frankly, I'm not seeing a whole bunch of healthy snack ideas for kids that meet that criterion. Fortunately, I have this ancient,...

Crack Cookies: They’re Truly Addictive!
September 14, 2011
For YEARS now, I've been hearing about Tam Hodge's infamous Tamolasses Cookies. My friend Brandi has been making them for her family for a while, and she boldly claimed that they were "the best cookie recipe ever." This is a woman with a LOT of great recipes, so I was intrigued when she made this statement on her blog. But there's one problem. I'm not a huge fan of molasses. Still, the subject of these cookies...

My Favorite Blackberry Cobbler
August 26, 2011
There's not much better than buying a carton of fresh blackberries at the farmer's market in the summertime, or better yet, picking them yourselves. Blackberry cobbler is the best way to eat them. I grew up eating all kinds of cobblers-- this is my favorite blackberry cobbler recipe of all I've tasted. INGREDIENTS 4 cups fresh blackberries 1 egg 1 cup sugar 1 cup flour 6 tablespoons...

Shrimp, Mango and Avocado Salad
July 19, 2011
I made this salad a few years ago with fresh shrimp during a trip to the beach and it has become a summer beach staple. Often, we have it twice during the week that we're at the beach- It's that good! Make this salad with fresh-off-the-boat shrimp or make it with defrosted shrimp from the supermarket- The results are spectacular! INGREDIENTS 4 quarts water 2 1/4 pounds large shrimp, peeled and deveined 1/2...
