Orange C-Booster Cold Buster Smoothie

November 29, 2017
Cold Buster Smoothie

November and December are our busiest months of the year and we’re always on the move. Isn’t everyone? Once we get on the other side of the holiday season, I feel like we always crash. Usually, I’m the first to get sick, followed by Fatima. But when I do catch a cold, my go-to remedy is Jamba Juice’s Orange C-Booster. After a few days, my cold diminishes. To make it…

27th Annual Toys for Tots Collection Party

November 15, 2017
Toys for Tots

Well, I can’t believe this will be our 27th year collecting toys for the US Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. Time seems to go by so quickly and the need seems to grow each year. For as long as I can remember, I have always felt the need to help others, especially children. I knew I had a chance to make a difference when myself and my best friend Jim…

Homestyle Mac and Cheese

This post is sponsored by FreshDirect. We are participating in FreshDirect’s Fourth Annual #FDFriendsgiving! In exchange for this blog post and photos of our Homestyle Mac and Cheese for Instagram, we were given a FreshDirect $100 gift card. It’s hard to think about my childhood without my mom’s baked mac and cheese. Usually made on nights the babysitters (aka one of my cousins) would come over. She would prepare a pan and stick it in…

Pumpkin Muffins

October 18, 2017
Pumpkin Muffins

By now, you’re more than familiar with my pumpkin obsession. When I was searching for the perfect pumpkin bread pan a few years ago, I found the most fall-tastic pan from Williams-Sonoma. Attached to this pan, was a delicious pumpkin bread recipe. So, I dug up the tag and turned that pumpkin bread recipe into pumpkin muffins. All too often, I find a delicious bread recipe, wanting to make muffins.…

Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup: Cooking Through Cravings

October 11, 2017
Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup

It’s time to take out those crockpots and French ovens; it’s soup and stew season! We love a good slow cooker recipe. Being able to “set it and forget it” is what we love. But we haven’t made a lot of soups. In our latest adventure through Cravings, we made this Rotochick Chicken Noodle Soup…three times! We made this three times because we L-O-V-E-D it! It was everything Chrissy said it…

Pumpkin Succulent Centerpieces

October 4, 2017
Pumpkin Succulent Centerpieces

Fall is my favorite season. And my favorite thing about fall? Pumpkins. Not just PSLs, but the actual fruit. Growing up in the ‘burbs, I loved going to Lyman Orchards to pick out pumpkins. By the end of the trip, I’d pick out every pumpkin I could carry. I wanted to carve them all! To further my pumpkin addiction, I made these adorable pumpkin succulent centerpieces. Call me crafty. Fatima…

Yellow Rice and Mediterranean Shrimp

Yellow Rice and Mediterranean Shrimp

It’s almost that time of the year when it starts to get cold out. Not lately! I’m antsy waiting for the fall weather to arrive, but I should know better. Today is our three-year wedding anniversary, and every year at this time, summer makes a comeback. Don’t get me wrong I love the summer and the warm weather, but I miss my hearty stews, soups and warm comfort food. During…

Black Bean Burger with Chipotle Mayo

September 20, 2017

I just celebrated a birthday and as I get older I realize how the food I eat affects how I feel. As much as I love cheeseburgers and fries, I know I cannot have them everyday. I have two sisters who are vegetarians and one who’s trying to limit the meat in her diet. So you can imagine the pressure I get from them when I blog mostly about non-vegetarian…

S’mores Camp Fire Treats

S'mores Camp Fire Treats - LiliesandLoafers

We had cereal and marshmallows left over from our Camp Fire Chex Mix and decided to make another treat! I didn’t know what else to do with the leftover marshmallows other than make Rice Krispie Treats. However, we only had Chex and Golden Grahams cereal. So, we pulled together a s’mores version of a Rice Krispie Treat. If you love s’mores and that Chex mix we made, then you’ll love these…

John's Marinated Steak: Cooking Through Cravings - LiliesandLoafers

It’s summer. You know what that means? Beach, frozen margaritas (well, that’s all year round) and dining el fresco. However, we are unable to enjoy cooking food on the grill. Unless you have a terrace, city living is not the ideal place to live if you love to grill. Brian is a suburban boy and grew up with a large backyard and grill. So he’s missing out on grilling burgers…

Ms. Jackson’s Southern Potato Salad

Ms. Jackson's Potato Salad - LiliesandLoafers

I’ve shared with you before that my love for cooking comes from my mother. My mother cooked almost every night. She would only take a break from cooking if we ordered pizza. Eating out was just something we never did; try booking a reservation for 10 people. All these years of cooking for 10 people and my mom jokes she doesn’t know how to make small amounts of food. Now,…
