Are you finding it a challenge to decide on fun adventures or travels this summer that will strengthen the bond between you and your teen? It can be quite a struggle to make an agenda based on the interests of your teen. Maybe try something completely different from previous adventures together? How...

Grilled pizza is one of our favorite summer foods, but, if we're being honest, it's a little annoying to make. (Who actually likes stretching dough?) Pizza bread, on the other hand, is gloriously easy.  Ingredients 1 large loaf, halved 1 15-oz. jar pizza sauce 3 c. shredded mozz...

If you are anything like me chances are you’re getting in the car to drive somewhere for Christmas.  Whether that trip takes 30 minutes or 3 days, the last thing you need is to be fumbling around the car for a snack for hangry passengers or a toy to placate a whining child (or adult). &nb...

We love potato salad and can't get enough of the creamy goodness during the summer. This jalapeño popper version takes things to a whole new level. A little spicy, but 100% worth it! Be sure to remove the seeds if you want it to be milder. Ingredients For the potato salad 2 lb. Yukon...
