So often on this blog, I share recipes I’ve made for my family, and if you stick around here long enough, you’ll find that we are no stranger to hot and spicy foods. We love hot wings and Mexican food; sometimes we even try Asian cooking! It’s all very delicious, but as you can imagine, it often means a little digestive comfort, and for that reason we go to the Purple Pill for Nexium Level Protection!

Other members of my family took Nexium for years, and like a lot of people, our whole family was happy when we learned we’d finally be able to pick up this medicine over the counter! [Read more…]

Throughout the year I enjoy my share of milkshakes, floats, sundaes, and other yummy ice cream creations. The hot summer weather just gives me an excuse to enjoy it even more! This summer I’m stocking my freezer with Blue Bunny ice cream. They have so many great flavors from classics like Vanilla and Chocolate to fun flavors like Bunny Tracks and Banana Split ice cream, and they have so many fun novelty ice creams! [Read more…]

With the hot summer weather, comes summer grilling! Like many households, here at Simply Sweet Home, my husband is the Grill King! Not only does he do a great job of cooking up meats to perfection, but he is also a master when it comes to creating custom sauces and marinades.

Just like our Southern summers, when it comes to sauces, we like it hot! Over the weekend my hubby grilled up some delicious chicken, featuring a hot, bold, and savory sauce that doubles as both a marinade and a dipping sauce for entrees and appetizers!

The summer season is such a fun opportunity to spend time with family and friends in the great outdoors and host fun cook outs and picnics, but I, for one, have a hard time standing the heat! There are certain times of day when I can barely go outside at all for more than a few minutes, much less have fun in the sun or play hostess!

I’m sure a lot of you ladies and gents feel the same way!

Today I’m going to share some ways I beat the heat when planning my party menu, and I’ve also got a recipe for an easy side dish you can make for your upcoming picnics and barbecues: a corn casserole! [Read more…]

We’ve all heard breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I know I certainly feel more focused and am able to get more work done when I’ve had something to eat early in the day. But sometimes when I first wake up, I’m just not really all that hungry, and I certainly don’t want to spend a lot of time cooking and dirtying up dishes unnecessarily…my solution to this dilemma is often Carnation Breakfast Essentials.

I’ve been drinking this stuff since my teen years. It was always a great drink to take on my early morning commute to school, and it got me through many college lectures! Back then I primarily bought the chocolate flavored and simply added it to milk, but now I love using the Carnation Breakfast Essentials as a base for shakes and smoothies. By adding a simple ingredient or two, I’ve come up with some really yummy flavor combinations that make for a light, yet filling breakfast that any girl can enjoy. [Read more…]

Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta

May 22, 2015 1 Comment

Lately I’ve been in a mood to branch out and try new recipes. I haven’t really made anything new in a while because Noah isn’t a “try new things” kind of kid, so making something new often means making the new recipe, plus making something else for him. (And who has the time for that?) But now that school is out, that gives me a little more time to cook….in the past week I’ve had a chance to make 3 new things! One thing I made this week was Chicken Cordon Bleu Pasta. I basically used my very popular Alfredo Recipe and added a few key ingredients like Swiss cheese, ham, and Progresso Panko Crispy Bread Crumbs.

Noah heard the name of the recipe and basically refused to try it. (I’ve never made my Chicken Cordon Bleu for him.) But we convinced him to try a bite, and he actually liked it. Yay! [Read more…]

Lemon Muddy Buddies Mix

May 3, 2015 4 Comments

Still eating leftover jelly beans from Easter? Or are you more like me and you like to buy jelly beans year round? Either way, you’ll love today’s fun recipe. Over the weekend I made some delicious Lemon Muddy Buddies Mix. I love muddy buddies, and I’ve been wanting to try the lemon flavor a while…believe me, it didn’t disappoint! When I make muddies, I always like to have at least one “add in.” The add-in not only mixes things up in terms of flavor but it also adds a lot to the overall color and presentation of the mixture. To liven up these lemon muddies, I added some Brach’s Jelly Beans.

The jelly beans went perfectly with this lemon, and I’d imagine it would be great with other fruit flavored and even plain vanilla muddies. So break out your left over Easter jelly beans or go out and buy a new bag, and give it a try!

Someone always seems to be hungry at our house, and HOT POCKETS® are definitely one of our go-to snacks! They are delicious, hearty, and made with high quality ingredients we love.

HOT POCKETS® Breakfast Bites and Snack Bites are a new bite sized take on your classic favorite after school and mid night snack!

They pack that same punch of flavor as traditional Hot Pockets, except they come in a fun, new size that makes serving even easier. (No forks needed!) [Read more…]

This week our television seems to be fixed on basketball! At our house, it can be very hard to pry people away from the television or the computer to eat a meal, and if a ball game is on, you can just forget about it! For this reason, I always like to have plenty of appetizers and snacks, I can whip up at a moment’s notice. This way I can skip the cooking, and they can enjoy the game! A couple of days ago, I made some Delimex. [Read more…]
