Happiness Project #41: Chicken & Broccoli Shells!

Apparently, I’m on a roll with my Dinner Dishes. Partly in response to the attention of my newest kitchen helper (and by helper, I mean my unintentional food taster), Chloe Girl. No, not my Daughter (who is my official baking assistant) but rather my 3 year old Dog, who, in more ways than one, is […]

Happiness Project #40: Cookie Batter Waffles!

Every month, for one glorious week, I travel 3 hours south, to where my sister & 3 nephews live. And even though I’ve been taking Ari with me, for a good 5 months now, it’s always a little bit like opening a huge, musical present on Christmas morning, filled to the brim with bubbles, legos, […]

Happiness Project #39: Hamburger Casserole Croissant Buns

Beef. It’s what’s for dinner. Seriously. There’s a HUGE croissant takeover happening on Pinterest when it comes to whipping up a quick, yummy and easy dinner recipe. And I am most definitely ON that band wagon. Possibly forever. Because well, you can make just about ANYTHING in a lovely, flakey croissant roll. Chicken Tacos (which […]

The Stealthy Kitchen Mama Photo-shoot with So Cute Photo!

A couple of months ago, I had come up with the idea of doing a SKM photo-shoot with my (now 16mo) Baby Girl. I wanted to celebrate the inspiration behind first creating my recipe blog, nearly 3 years ago to date.  3 years ago, due to severe pain from Endometriosis, my husband & I had […]

Happiness Project #38: The PERFECT Peanut Butter Brownies!

  Brownies. Let’s talk about Brownies. Brownies…perplex me. Because they’re very much like a cake yet flat, with a decisively fudgey texture. And by the way, how wonderful of a word is fudgey? It just screams summer days, languishing on the front lawn, with a scoop of half melted vanilla ice cream dripping joyfully down […]

Happiness Project #37: Baked Tuna Casserole!

Whoa! Another Dinner Dish?! All in the same month?! Why, yes! Yes, indeed, my friends! This Mama’s on a mission! To bring some dinner to the table! And highchair. And possibly, a dog dish, as well. Though, not ALWAYS to the dog’s dish, mind you. And since, I really, REALLY like the idea of all-in-one […]

Happiness Project #36: Baked Tuna & Veggie Mac and Cheese!

3 months later & I’m FINALLY back blogging! Not because I haven’t wanted to be baking & blogging these past 3 months (because I HAVE actually been baking) but mostly because being a semi-active Mom, battling her way through a whole whirlwind of physical struggles, in light of having a wonderfully SUPER active 15mo Toddler, […]

Happiness Project #35: Pink Lemonade Birthday Cupcakes!

“One year ago, on March 8th, at 10:36am, a Miracle changed my life in the best of ways. And at long last, this Warrior heart of mine became whole. Everything I had ever believed to be good and true and beautiful in this world, came in the form of ten little fingers, ten little toes, two rosy […]

Happiness Project #34: Grandma’s Fresh Apple Cake!

A little over a week ago, while I was over at my Mom’s house, I came across an old & well used Notebook of Recipes that my Grandmother (on my Mother’s side of the family) had contributed to (possibly) back in the 1980’s. As you could imagine, I was near bubbling over with giddiness because […]

Happiness Project #34: Messy Happy Hearts Sugar Cookies!

Valentines Day. A day of cards, flowers, chocolates and valentine cookies. In other words, a day filled to the brink with words, sweets and sometimes very quirky displays of endearment. A day that I don’t actually believe in. Yes, one that I do not believe in celebrating, at least as an adult. And no matter […]
