Crunch Wrap Sandwich

Crunch Wrap Sandwich

Hello sweet friends! You know how I mentioned that my oldest son is getting married on May 24th?  Well, I have been trying to be very healthy and exercise more in an effort to look my best for the wedding.  You know those wedding pictures are up on walls for years!  That has been a very motivating thought for me.  I really hate dieting, so I like to think about it as being more health conscious.

Banana Bread Snacking Cake

Hello Friends! How are you doing?  I have been struggling to back to my normal life after our almost 2 weeks of Spring Break.  It was a wonderful break, but wow--getting back into the swing of things was not easy this last week or so...especially getting up at 5am to teach early morning seminary ( a scripture study for the high school aged kids from my church).  A calling I LOVE

Menu plan #14

Happy Spring friends! We are just coming off a very full Spring Break!  My husband and I spent half our time enjoying snow in the Utah mountains for a couple days with our oldest son and his fiancé (who are attending university at Utah State) and then the rest of the break in the Florida sunshine with our younger boys! Their breaks from school did not line up, but I am not complaining! My sister

Asian Massaged Kale Salad

March 21, 2019 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 1 Comment

Have you ever tried a massaged kale salad? Remember this Massaged Kale Salad recipe I shared a couple of years ago? That salad has apples, and a delicious maple vinaigrette that I love.  This one is the same technique but with fun asian flavors from soy sauce and garlic. Even if you think you don't like Kale, just trust me and give these massaged kale salads a try.  I think you will be pleasantly

Blueberry Cream Pie

Did you know that this Thursday, March 14th, is "Pi" day?  I have a friend who celebrates 3.14 every year with a "Pi" party!  She invites all her friends to come over with their favorite pies, and they all dig in together!  Doesn't that sound so fun and delicious?! This year we celebrated a little early with this Blueberry Cream pie, since I will be in Utah on 3.14.  It is my oldest son Connor's

Favorite Cinnamon Rolls

March 7, 2019 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 2 Comments

Here is that new favorite Cinnamon Roll recipe I was telling you about last week. I have made them two more times and my seminary class and family all agree---these are sooo good! I still love the Perfectly Wonderful Cinnamon Rolls found here, but that recipe makes a lot (3 dozen) and they are best eaten the day of (they dry out fast), but this new and improved recipe I am sharing today is so

Chickpea Bolognese Pasta

Chickpea Bolognese Pasta

Have you ever had a hearty and comforting bowl of Bolognese pasta?  It really is the perfect dish for these colder winter months when you are craving something warm and filling.  Bolognese sauces are  thick, super flavorful and usually chuck full of meat (ground beef, sausage etc).  This vegetarian version uses chopped chickpeas instead and I know that may sound strange, but trust me it works

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
