Easy Peasy Bisquick Pizza + Publix...

Easy Peasy Bisquick Pizza + Publix...

This week while grocery shopping I came across a collection of delicious recipes for Publix Flavor Excursion Italian Week. I've been wanting to make homemade pizza for the longest so this recipe for Bisquick Pizza sounded really good. Right now you can find savings on key Italian ingredients from KRAFT, Hunt’s and Progresso to spice up your favorite dishes or create something new like I did. Simple meal. No hassle. Easy cleanup. Mom approved.

Suddenly Grain Salads - Making Dinner Fast and...

I try to add whole grains to my family meals daily. One of my biggest pet peeves is having time to create a new and delicious whole grain dish that will be well received. So I was intrigued when I heard Betty Crocker had created Suddenly Grain Salad Mixes.

Cake Batter Shark Bait For Shark Week!

Cake Batter Shark Bait For Shark Week!

The month of August is a busy one but before the back to school craze begins there is one thing I really look forward to- SHARK WEEK! This year on Sunday, August 10th Shark Week will be live in action on the Discovery Channel. For one week we will have the opportunity to learn all about sharks, how they live, and their close encounters with humans. This program was originally developed to raise awareness and respect for sharks. Now it has sky rocketed into a national craze. So, this year I decided to make a yummy snack that will be perfect in kicking off a week of shark-tastic fun. Cake Batter Shark Bait is sweet, salty, and has a special surprise lurking inside! Ready to get chompin'?
