Spring is finally here! Well, I guess that depends on where you live. Here in Idaho, where we live, our weather has been bouncing back and forth between beautiful to more snow. It can’t make up its mind! If spring has hit for you, you’ll want to check out our posts on gardening, where you can find out how to grow vegetables from seed, along with recipes to use those vegetables in! Welcome to the Pretty Pintastic Party, where every post is pinned & features are pinned by everyone! First, let’s meet the hosts: Jamie, Kerry, & Lucy from

Low Carb Chili

Low Carb Chili has all the wonderful flavor of chili without all the carbs. This low carb version of chili is just as filling as chili full of carbs. The Hardworking Husband and I have been crazy busy lately. I took a trip to Texas in the middle of a remodeling project in our house. This time of year is also busy in my other job – real estate. We are finally almost finished with the remodeling project. We decided to take out our fireplace because it was not safe to use. We had the wall redone. We also

The items for your kitchen that I consider essential, along with a KitchenAid mixer giveaway! I’m not a gadgety kind of gal, so there aren’t a lot of items I would tell you that you need to have in your kitchen. You can probably skip the slushie maker, grilled cheese sandwich maker, and the cotton candy maker! However, if you’re just starting out in the kitchen, there are several items that you really must have! Quality Knives Once you’ve used good knives, you’ll never consider buying a knife at the dollar store. Quality knives will slice, chop and mince easily,

Parmesan Crusted Pork Chops is a low carb delicious entree. Full of flavor and full of the crunch you often miss with a low carb diet. The Hardworking Husband and I have been doing the Keto diet. Lucy has been doing it as well. I have been on the hunt for recipes that are tasty yet low carb. I have actually found quite a few. Jamie’s Quick Mexican Chicken Soup is one of those recipes. It is so good you’d never know it’s low carb. I’ve also been finding substitutes for ingredients that are high in carbs. Most of

Quick Mexican Chicken Soup

Mexican Chicken Soup recipe is from scratch, but so easy and quick. Once upon a time, I used to meal plan. Do you meal plan? I enjoy life better when I do, but I’ve gotten into a rut of not meal planning. Most nights I’m flying by the seat of my pants, trying to figure out what we can eat for dinner that doesn’t take long to make. This recipe utilizes already cooked chicken. I used rotisserie chicken, but any chicken will do. Cube it, or shred it, you can really make it however you’d like. I based this recipe

Sweet, delicious but easy to make Strawberry Upside-Down Cake from scratch. Strawberries are coming! I’m starting to see them in stores. And any time I see strawberries, I have to come up with more strawberry recipes! This time I wanted to make a Strawberry Upside-Down Cake. I figured I would just adapt the standard pineapple upside-down cake, but substitute strawberries. However, I decided to run a search for strawberry upside-down cake on Pinterest first. I was mostly let down by the results, since it was a lot of cake mixes, jello, soda pop, and just not the way I like

Lemon Pizzelle with Lavender Cheesecake is a delicious delicate dessert. It pairs the citrus of the lemon with the hint of lavender. I bought a pizzelle maker last year and have wanted to get better at making pizzelle. While I practice making pizzelle, I also wanted to try out different kinds of pizzelle. I want to experiment a little with flavors with the pizzelle. I’ve seen a few different flavors. Chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, lemon and anise. I started with a flavor I could find a recipe for. Later, I’m going to be doing flavors I can’t find recipes for.

All it takes is 3 ingredients and 5 minutes to make this delicious Carrot Craisin Salad! This is seriously the easiest salad recipe ever. Three ingredients, and five minutes of your time (unless you have to shred the carrots by hand with a grater, and then it might be closer to 10 minutes), and you’ve got a delicious side dish. My mom made this salad when I was a kid, but she used raisins instead of Craisins. I love the little bit of tang and sweetness that Craisins bring to carrot Craisin salad, so that’s how I make it. Carrot

Gooey caramel and crunchy pecans pair perfectly with chocolate to make these easy caramel turtle brownies a treat! I’m not huge into candy, but give me a baked sweet, and I just can’t say no. These Easy Caramel Turtle Brownies were no exception. I could have eaten the whole pan by myself, ya’ll. But don’t worry, I exercised my will power and only ate one at a time! I wanted to change things up with my good old go-to brownie recipe. It’s a fabulous recipe that never disappoints, but I wanted to try something new. So I added caramels and

Amazing chicken recipes that are sure to be a hit with your family but add variety to your menu or meal plan! Chicken is a staple at our house. It’s my children’s favorite meat and it’s so versatile & easy to cook that we end up eating it a lot. That can lead to a lot of repetition as I tend to cook it the same way over & over again. My kids love Asian BBQ Slow Cooker Chicken Thighs but that doesn’t mean I want to eat it week after week! So I’ve collected these chicken recipes to have
