Pumpkin Bread Stuffing


There's always at least one dish at family gatherings that is not the "norm." My pumpkin bread stuffing is that dish. I got the idea from Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals over a decade ago, made it my own and now it's something that just has to be at the Thanksgiving table.

Ingredients |

1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup dried apricots (or mango), diced
1 pumpkin bread loaf
1/2 cup to 1 cup apple juice

Preheat the oven to 350. In a sauce pan, saute the dried fruit with a little juice and a bit of butter over medium heat. Bring it to a simmer. Cut the pumpkin bread loaf in bite-sized squares. Add the fruit mixture to the pumpkin bread and add to a buttered baking dish. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Easy as that. A nice, sweet side to add to your thanksgiving feast.

The 10-20-30-40-50 Workout

    I get asked what I do for exercise quite often. I, in no way, have the perfect body, but I am in pretty decent shape and I think it is always important to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle whether you're a mom or not. I don't think being a mom is an excuse to not be healthy (and just so y'all know, being healthy doesn't mean we don't have stretch marks or extra cushion. AmIright?) but I do understand dedicating a large quantity of your day to fitness is really difficult. In addition to having a desire to be healthy, I workout because food. I love it. And I don't want to stop eating it. So I workout. I take one kickboxing/insanity class each week at a local church (I LOVE IT!) but other than that I'm on my own for exercise. Running is usually my go-to - it has always been relaxing, calming and therapeutic to me. Then my kids turned 2 and 4 and I was like 'holy cow! Is there an actual COW in this stroller I'm pushing? One that won...

20 Meals for $200

Good Evening! World's worst blogger here. (Seriously. I will never be consistent here, folks.) But I have some meal prepping for you: 20 meals for less than $200. I'm not sure the exact amount because I bought groceries for the week and a year's supply of baking ingredients (for all the Christmas goodies) and frankly, I don't want to do the math. But it's definitely in the just under $200 ball park. Let's get started... Menu | Simple Spaghetti & Meatballs Tuscan Chicken Cajun Smoked Sausage & Rice Pulled Pork Pork Tacos Teriyaki Salmon Vegetarian Chili Chuck Roast Winger's Chicken and Waffles Southwest Chicken Y'all. These are the most simple meals to throw together. Because Christmas. And I'm not going to busy myself being extra when I want to enjoy the holidays. It took me about an hour. Grocery List | 2 packages of spaghetti noodles 2 packages of rigatoni 1-2 cartons of broth (this is to add to the meals when cookin...
