I know Thanksgiving is a little more than a week away and most of us are already planning our menu around turkey, cranberry sauce, sweet potato casserole and dressing but let’s face it… after all is said and done, you may just want something simple by way of a homemade salad to get back on […]

I’m back in the kitchen yet again this week… whipping up a seasonal appetizer and/or snack that the entire family [and friends] all approved of. We’ve been stocking up on peaches at the store and farmer’s market and eating them by the bushel, so it’s no surprise this next goodness features my favorite summertime sweet […]

When life gives you lemons, you make a pie!!! Or some fun limoncello spritzers, but that isn’t what this post is all about… yes, I was perusing my monthly edition of Better Homes and Gardens last week and instantly flagged this recipe the moment I saw it. Not only does it sound like summer, but […]

I’m still here I promise!!! Getting back in the kitchen has been a struggle these past few months = I’ll be honest, I was surviving and nowhere near thriving, but now that summer is here and our evenings are a bit less hectic, I’m hoping to whip up more of our family favorite recipes and […]

Finally… I got back in the kitchen this past week working on something different in the dinner department.

Another delicious and super sophisticated skillet meal to add to your dinner rotation… again, I’m trying to make the most of our nights at home and serve up some new recipes to our normal menu, getting our girls to TRY new foods, etc. They are very much like me and could eat the same thing […]

It’s been a bit since I shared a side dish recipe worthy of making a fuss over, but I assure you this one is a crowd pleaser in my house… EVEN the kids ask for it by name and I’ll take that as a win if it’s a way to get them eating more vegetables! […]

Happy bellies make for even happier holidays… last night, one of my besties and I hosted our annual girls’ bunco Christmas party and it was nothing short of seasonal joy with so many of my favorite people gathered around the table! We wanted to whip up a menu made for making all our nearest and […]

I’ll be honest… I’m not a huge fan of calling something you bake a “dump cake”, however it is what it is and hard to find another name for a yummy treat where you literally mix all ingredients together and bake it up in right about an hour. Seasonal flavors are finally here and I […]

Back with another crowd favorite… and family approved by my picky crew so you know it’s a good one!!! I first found this recipe on my friend Anne Snow’s Instagram last week and instantly saved it to try = easy finds from the grocery and many things I already had in the pantry = a […]
