I love sharing recipes with all of you, but maybe you have some you'd like to share with me as well! I figured today would be a great day to share the recipes I cooked this week and maybe you could share some of yours too.

I had the chance to review Pop Weaver's first ever microwave popcorn made with Canola oil. We currently don't have cable so we watch all of our shows and movies through Netflix. I think we end up watching about 5 movies a month, so we have a lot of popcorn time! I was really excited to try this specific popcorn out because it's better for you than most popcorn and also has health benefits. So what is so special about this popcorn? It's lower in calories, total fat, saturated fat and … [Read more...]

Yummly.com is a new recipe site that I think is super useful. It's a platform for food and recipes, sort of like the Netflix for food! The site has so many wonderful features.
