These cookies are amazing! Gingery delicate melt in your mouth bites of heaven. These are not your typical thick and chewy gingerbread cookies but instead this old fashioned recipe delivers a wafer texture that is light, airy, and crisp. I made these for the first time last year and was […]
Here is a great cookie to add to your Christmas cookie baking. They taste amazing and look great on any any cookie platter with the beautiful red centers. Or they are great for breakfast (ahem, ahem) with some coffee, as I accidentally discovered while taking pictures of them in the […]
Here is an awesome, simple and delicious Christmas gift idea!! Creamy, chocolatey homemade hot Cocoa that can be packed into regular jars, or even a mason jar mug. Tie a simple tag on with instructions and wa-lah, a perfectly simple gift. I have always made my hot cocoa with milk […]
I was so excited when apple season began this year, I overbought apples (if even possible lol). So I have been using them up in lots of different ways including making these addicting cinnamon apple chips. I love how the concentrated apple flavor comes out when you cook these and […]
I have been trying to work on this great pumpkin breakfast casserole recipe for a while but it has had to take the back burner to my kids. We have been hit with the worst respiratory virus I have ever had to deal with. All four of my kids have […]
Have you ever needed some cooked shredded or cut up chicken for a salad, casserole, appetizer or let’s be honest, one of the other million dishes out there that call for it? If your like me, you don’t like to waste your time or money to go get a store […]

O.K……. I know it’s officially fall here in the northeast, with the beautiful leaves and all, but it has been pretty warm- topping 80 degrees this past weekend. So I figured I sneak in a recipe for these amazing key lime bars and anyways, If you ask me, these bars are […]
These are the only oatmeal cookies I have ever loved and they are actually my all time favorite drop cookie. They are not a super chewy oatmeal cookie but the original cooks illustrated title calls them” thin and crispy oatmeal cookies” with a delicate crisp texture. I usually bake them […]
This is going to be a brief post but I wanted to get something up. It’s been crazy getting my kids back to school and very hard for me to send my youngest to kindergarten. Thank the Lord for the great school I am blessed to send my kids to […]

This is one of my favorite ways to have grilled chicken, especially when I have an abundance of ripe tomatoes and fresh fragrant basil in the garden. And this […]
This has been a busy summer- 4 kids home from school, the youngest with a broken leg and now physical therapy to learn to walk again, my garden, housework, baking……. the list goes on and on. Some days I don’t think I even sit until bedtime. I think this has […]
