I’m the mom of two boys under the age of four. Which means there’s always a stain of mysterious origins on my shirt by the time I get to work. Needless to say, making dinner is always a juggling act in our house. This colorful, crunchy stir-fry is one of our new favorites. So give it a try tonight! (And don’t worry – nobody will judge you if you happen to get a little on your shirt.)

Heart-Shaped Pizza

posted by Jane Nachbor, Director of Party Strategy
Valentine’s Day is what I call a “Fun Food” holiday, because you get to experiment with all manner of heart-shaped foods.  Plus – heart-shaped foods can be romantic … but they don’t have to be! Even if you don’t have a significant other you can still have fun making something for a friend or relative... CONTINUE READING »
Very Cherry Chip Cheese Ball

Chocolate. Cherries. What’s Not to Love?

posted by Jen Thompson
Valentine’s Day can feel a bit commercial sometimes with all of the greeting cards, singing teddy bears and high-priced flowers. But you know what? Doing something sweet for someone you love is always a good idea. Here at Tastefully Simple, we’ve been swooning over Very Cherry Cheese Ball Mix this month – part of a limited-edition set with Chocolate Twisty Grahams. I guarantee it will taste better than anything from a drugstore. And knowing you cared enough to make something special? Well, they’ll definitely feel the love.

Tastefully Simple Cake Pop Recipe

Cutie Cake Lollipops

posted by Jen Thompson
We all have our little indulgences. For me? It’s a dark, rich cup of steaming espresso. (We live two minutes away from the drive-thru of a major coffee chain, and well – let’s just say the entire staff knows the names of my children.) To feel less guilty about this little extravagance, I often get a special treat for my three-year-old. His favorite choice? A cake pop. With Valentine’s Day coming, it seemed like the perfect time to finally try making my own cake pops at home. This recipe features one of my all-time favorite products, and it turned out BEAUTIFULLY.
How You Bean Brownie Recipe

How You Bean? Brownies

Ever get that feeling at night where you want some chocolate? Just a small piece – enough to stop the craving. Then you can carry on with your night, right? Except I have that feeling every night. And so does my husband. So we give in to the craving. And it’s time to start eating something with a little fiber. These brownies seem a little unconventional (and they are), but go with it – you’ll be glad you gave it a try!

I’m not much of a sports fan, but I’m told there’s some big event taking place in a couple weeks. And I’m told that one of the best things about going to a football party is enjoying tasty snacks. So I’ll be making snacks.

What if you made dinner and your kids said “Oh mom! I want to eat these every day!!” That’s what happened to me when I made Lead Team Mentor Cari Blake’s recipe for Bayou Glazed Lettuce Wraps, and I can’t tell you how gratifying that was! They are easy to make, healthful and most importantly…delicious enough for my daughter to gush compliments!

It happened today – I am officially sick of winter. So in my mind, I’m having a sunny summer day, when I don’t have to scrape my car windows or dig for my daughter’s mittens or make sure my scarf is on tight enough … OK, back to reality. Still cold. So I may as well take advantage of the best thing about winter – soup!

This year, I’m gonna lose those 10 pounds. I have a plan, and it starts with pound cake. No, really! The Lightened Almond Pound Cake Trifle has applesauce, sugar-free pudding, skim milk and berries (a super food!) – so this recipe is really dreamy in a goal-oriented kind of way … the perfect way to start the year!
Easy "Italian White Bean Salad" recipe using Tastefully Simple's Dried Tomatoe & Garlic Pesto Mix

Italian White Bean Salad

posted by Juliet Brambrink
One of my dinner criteria is that it should make good leftovers – suitable for lunch the next day, or maybe even dinner later in the week. That means it has to hold up in the fridge for a few days, it can’t take a lot of time or effort to reheat, and I have to want to eat it again. I discovered bean salads a few years ago, and they’re perfect for packing.
