Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
At the end of each year I like to look back and revisit some of my old posts, and one thing I always like to do is share a round up of some of my favorite food posts from the year. Everything looks delicious, if I do say so myself, so I had to hard time picking these out, but finally I came up with 16 goodies! I have everything from breakfast to dinner, snacks, appetizers, and of course, dessert. Hope you find something here that you’d like to try for yourself in 2016! Cheers! [Read more…]
It’s been a while since I put together a round-up post, so here we go! Today I’m featuring 12 yummy looking recipes featuring one of my favorite fruits and flavors: ORANGE!
Hope you enjoy this mouth-watering collection of 12 orange recipes!

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…]
Welcome to Friday Favorites! I have just a couple of announcements before we get to this week’s party. First of all, if you’re coming in early tonight, there’s still time to enter my giveaway for a $200 gift certificate to Lush Decor!
Also, I’m hoping to collaborate with more bloggers in the future. One way I want to do this is by adding a co-host to this linky party OR combining this party with another ( if someone out there already hosts a party and is also wanting a co-host or a combined party).
And then I’d also like more guest post contributors to do food posts or provide content in other areas. I’m looking for folks I can contact when I need guest posts for a special events like (Mother’s Day, Summer Recipes, Back to School Ideas, etc.) or anyone who’d just like to contribute on a regular basis. It’s not a paid position but it’s a good opportunity to add to your portfolio and get extra traffic for your blog. Also, if you become an ongoing contributor, I’ll feature you on a special “contributor page.” If you’d like to be a guest blogger in the future or a linky part co-host, simply fill out the Sign Up Form.
Happy New Year! (Again!) As a blogger, it seems to have become quite customary to take the interim period between Christmas and New Year’s Day to look back over the year’s work and then re-share some of the highlights. So I’ve been looking back at everything over the last few days, and today I have a fun round-up of posts for you: my 25 Delicious Must-Make Recipes from 2014!
I can honestly say that I enjoyed making and EATING all of these, so I hope you will check them out and decide to make few of these for yourself (especially the chocolate chip cookie dough cupcakes….just saying!)
And as always, I welcome your comments on this and any of the recipe posts featured here, especially on my photos. In 2014, I worked on improving my photo staging and editing, but I was still limited by not having a DSLR camera (not to mention, the lighting was not always ideal!). However, I’m really proud of the improvements I was able to make throughout the year, and I am super excited because I….I mean, Santa, just got me a DSLR camera for Christmas, so I cannot wait to make things look even better here in 2015!

I’m so happy things are finally warming up around here. That means it’s time for warm weather desserts, especially ice cream, shakes, and other frozen delights! In anticipation of the hot summer months, I’m featuring 5 COOL Drinks!
Guest Post Opportunity!! Speaking of the hot summer weather, last year I hosted a series of guest posts featuring summer recipes from our bloggy friends, and I’d love to continue that tradition this year! Your summer recipe could be a dessert (ice cream, pies, cakes, etc.) but it doesn’t have to be. Summer salads, barbecue recipes, and anything else summer related is also welcome. If you would like to be a part of my summer recipe series, please send an email to simplysweethome@hotmail.com and I’ll be sure to add you to my invite list! [Read more…]
