Roasted Red Peppers

by Allison @ Alli 'n Son May 13, 2012 Quick and Easy

I love roasted red peppers. Like obsessively love them. I add them to just about every meal that I make. Salads. Pitas. Paninis. Pizzas. Greek nachos. I love them so much that when they are on sale, I leave the store with 3-4 bottles. These bottles, they last about 2 weeks. Then I mourn the fact [...]

Mom…can we make some muffins? Yes, of course we can kiddo, I replied. But inside, I was yelling yippee-he-wants-to-bake-with-me-he-never-wants-to-bake-with-me-unless-I-trick-him-into-it-yippee!!!!!!

Sometimes motherhood is about taking care [...]

I love, love, LOVE Mexican food. It is by far one of my all-time favorite cuisines. I love, love, LOVE it. Which is also why I love Cinco de Mayo.
