It's time once again for the Retro Re-pin Party! Did everyone have a good Halloween? We didn't have as many trick-or-treaters as we typically do, so I had a TON of candy left over. Do you have any leftover Halloween candy ideas for me? I have no idea what to do with it all. (Besides eat it - breakfast of champions right?) I actually felt so guilty about eating all the candy this ...

Sweet Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Prosciutto and Kettle Corn
The mix of tangy, bitter, cruciferous, salty, and sweet in these Sweet Roasted Brussels Sprouts will make them your new go-to vegetable side dish. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking to yourself, "I HATE Brussels sprouts!" You're thinking I'm silly to suggest you make some. You're also probably thinking, "Stephanie, I know you've never steered me wrong with one of your recipes so ...
Retro Re-pin Party#16 Featuring Pork Carnitas and Candy Corn Rice Krispies!
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! This week I have gone absolutely pumpkin crazy.

I've got some Pumpkin Spice Kettle Corn and some Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spinach Mac and Cheese on ...
Pumpkin Spice Kettle Corn And a New Design Look!
The most popular recipe on my site just got better! Pumpkin Spice Kettle Corn is here! Sustaining the Powers has a new look!!! What do you think? I am so in LOVE with the logo that my friend Jessica Triggs designed for me. (I was actually so excited that I snuck it out early last week on a few photos when I wasn't supposed to.) I had never intended to keep the old header as long as I ...
Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spinach Mac & Cheese // Crocktober 2014 Week #5
You'll never guess this Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spinach Mac & Cheese contains pumpkin. It's all sorts of creamy, cheesey goodness, and the best part is you just dump it all into your slow cooker and walk away! I'm pretty sad that Crocktober is coming to an end. I've really enjoyed putting together meal plans for you each week. Our budget is also pretty happy with all the cooking in and stocking ...
Retro Re-pin Party #15
Welcome back to the Retro Re-pin Party! My post is a tad bit late today (Shhhh, please don't tell anyone) because I just spent 5 hours driving around town in search of 5 sheets of plain white foam core board to make a DIY light box. After lucking out at Joanns, Michaels, Office Max, Office Depot, Staples, and Walgreens I FINALLY found some at a Wal-Mart that was nowhere near where I ...
Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup //Crocktober 2014 Week #4
This Slow Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup is a staple in our home come winter time. It has all the best flavors of chicken enchiladas and is a great way to use up some leftovers! Can you believe we're on week 4 of Crocktober already? I'm not sure I'm going to be able to go back to regular cooking after this month is over. Do you think we can make Crockember a thing? In case you’re ...
Retro Re-pin Party #14!
It's Retro Re-pin Party time y'all! I was realizing today that I should probably have my Halloween decorations up by now. I went out last year just after Halloween and managed to score some great stuff on clearance, so I should probably get it down from the attic and put it out before it's time to take it down again. Are you ready for Halloween at your house? Do you have ...

It’s My 1 Year Blogging Anniversary!
Today is my 1 year blogging anniversary! The last year has been quite the adventure around here. When I started blogging last year just to document my recipes, I had no idea that I would go from 10 hits a month (which were probably just my mom and husband) to over 5,000 hits per month with many photos featured on some major foodie sites and blogs. I have learned so much over ...
