Bongo Bongo Dip with Ecce Panis Baguette #EccePanis

by Sara Merritt on March 20, 2013

With Easter Sunday rapidly approaching & family coming in from out of town, it’s time for me to make a meal plan.  One of my favorite things about a big family meal is enjoying appetizers prior to the main course.  I like grazing, so it’s especially important that I serve both healthy & indulgent foods [...]

Healthy & Homemade Microwavable Popcorn

by Sara Merritt on February 21, 2012

I love the convenience of microwavable popcorn, but hate the idea of munching on diacetyl along with those delicious crunchy kernels.  Thanks to my mama, we’re making our own popcorn these days using a brown paper bag & popcorn kernels from the grocery store.  Pour ¼ c. of popcorn into the bag, fold down the top, [...]

#ClearAmerican Mandarin Orange Cranberry Sauce

by Sara Merritt on November 20, 2011

In our little family, creating a tradition at Thanksgiving has meant two things:  going to the beach & cooking a big dinner.  This year, I’ve committed myself to trying new recipes for the old classics.  With just two days before we drive East for some rest & relaxation, I wanted to see how I could [...]

Mommy Snacktime – Peach Cupcakes {with #DelMonte}

by Sara Merritt on November 17, 2011

Having a husband who works roughly 74 hours a week during football season leaves few opportunities for me to do anything on my own.  Sure, she goes to preschool three days a week but cleaning toilets & grocery shopping by myself hardly counts as “me time”. That being said, it’s so important as moms that [...]

If you walk into my kitchen at any point, you will notice at least two kitchen chairs pushed to the countertop.  Someone once suggested that perhaps I had a poltergeist, but fortunately for me… it’s just a two-year-old.  A two-year-old who loves to cook! Her favorite thing is baking, so we decided to whip up [...]

Vidalia-Onion Cheese Dip {with Frank’s Red Hot}

by Sara Merritt on December 30, 2010

It’s Football Season again… {College Bowl Games, Superbowl, & Recruiting Season} It’s expected that all football wives have delicious & easy to prepare appetizers swirling in their heads — life spent on campus or at the stadium makes us professional tailgaters.  That being said, I’ve been whipping up and serving the same appetizers for six years [...]
