Healthy Chicken and Vegetable Soup For Dinner {Recipe}

January 14, 2013 By Melanie Edwards 3 Comments

Healthy Chicken and Vegetable Soup Recipe

One of my favorite easy recipes to add to our family’s weekly menu plan (something I’m getting back to doing) is a chicken and vegetable soup that easily cooks in my Crock-Pot slow cooker.

Easy Tuna Fish Finger Sandwich Appetizer {Recipe}

December 31, 2012 By Melanie Edwards 2 Comments

Tuna Fish Finger Sandwiches Ingredients

Growing up, every time we had a party, baby shower, or family get-together, my mami would serve finger sandwiches (or sandwichitos as we called them) for an appetizer. I recall loving these sandwiches and eating way too many of them at a time. In fact, I loved them so much, that when I got older, […]

October 30, 2012 By Melanie Edwards 4 Comments

Pineapple Mango Smoothie Recipe

Being born on a tropical island and growing up with flavors like pineapple, mango, coconut, passion fruit and many more means that I have an affinity for anything tropical. I almost always pick one of those four flavors for desserts, frozen drinks, and the like. My baby girl has inherited my love for tropical flavors […]

Zucchini and Cheese Recipe

Editor’s Note: Enjoy this wonderful recipe from guest contributor, Adriana Martin! From many moms, I have learned how difficult it is to get kids to eat their veggies.

Bumble Bee Foods Bee Squad Member

I grew up eating tuna fish. It was a quick lunch solution – mix tuna with mayo, spread on bread, and you had a quick sandwich! My mom often made those for us, so naturally it became a go-to meal for me as I got older and especially when away at college. It’s actually still […]
