Well, it’s officially been 1 year since Hidden Ponies went live! That one year has turned this blog from a whim into a seriously fun, if time consuming, hobby, and has gotten us more inspired by food than ever! We’ve moved to a self-hosted site, changed from a one-woman band to a two-woman spectacular, and […]

Bacon, Steak, & Onion Grilled Wraps
Seriously, do I even need to tell you how good these are? Ok, I will :) This is one of those occasions where you can add as many peppers, mushrooms, etc. as you like, but it’s not gonna make things better. You might feel better about it, but the flavor just cannot be better than […]
Saturday Sweets: Cookie Dough Truffles
Alright ladies, lock your cupboards before you read this recipe. I have to admit that I love cookie dough. It’s just one of those things. I would probably eat cookie dough rather than have an actual cookie. The only thing that puts me off just a touch is the raw egg factor. Wait a minute. […]
When moms shop for bathing suits
I went bathing suit shopping last week. I took my kids. And, I actually bought a bathing suit. Yes, I would like a medal, thank you for asking. As a matter of fact, I have even compiled a list of pros and cons to help you decide if you are considering taking your kids along […]
Almond Joy Cookies
I am so glad to be back in the kitchen and actually able to photograph the food I’ve been making. My camera decided to go on a vacation on me, and I was worried it had left forever and forgotten to leave a note. Fortunately, my cousin just happened to be fiddling with it, and […]
Chewy Coconut Cashew Granola Bars
I have a thing for granola bars. In highschool, they were such a staple in my lunch that I think I got addicted. I started to crave them on days I didn’t have one, and they were a big part of my grocery budget as a newlywed. As I started making more and more things […]
Cooking funny for your day :)
So, I was just slacking on Pinterest when I ran across this, and had to share :) We love bringing you recipes that are delicious, and (for the most part) easy! Hope you have a successful cooking day :) Happy Monday!
Saturday Sweets: Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies
Happy Saturday! It’s been a lazy week around here, as snow and more snow kept us pretty much housebound for most of the week. I ventured out once (with Carl at the wheel) to stock up on groceries – of all the times to be completely out of eggs and sugar! I am generally totally […]
Hearty Minestrone Soup
On a cold, gray, rainy or snowy day, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. If you’re feeling sniffly, achy, and generally unwell, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. When you are a poor student/waitress at the Old Spaghetti Factory and get unlimited free soup, nothing beats a good bowl of soup. There is […]
What I’ve Learned
You know those mornings? You know, those mornings, when you’re up at 5am writing a blog post, when you’d really rather be curled in your deliciously warm and cozy bed, but someone *ahem* is making that quite impossible? It’s true. My adorable and sweet little baby girl, has decided that 5 am is now an […]
Quick Crustless Quiche
Quick Crustless Quiche. Say that 5 times fast. Fun, right?! So let’s talk about Breakfast for Dinner. I am not a big breakfast person, so, while I have to eat breakfast to avoid a massive crazy mood swing by 9:00, I tend to stick to a muffin or scone, or a smoothie…something light, reasonably nutritious, […]
Spinach & Sausage Soup with Homemade Croutons
I don’t surprise easily, but sometimes people surprise me. Sometimes the surprise might be big, like a last-minute, your-bags-are-packed-for-you vacation. Sometimes the surprise might be small, like someone remembering to turn on the bedside lamp for their wife who is afraid of the dark and of stubbing her toes. Sometimes the surprise might be medium, […]
