It’s been a long but fun summer, but it has been back to homeschooling and readjusting to a schedule around here. I’m actually finding comfort in the routine and truly love being a teacher to my kids. I feel like I’m cheating somehow by being able to be their teacher […]
Lately I have been on the hunt to find great quick, easy dinner recipes. I don’t work a lot outside the home, so I tend to make more time consuming meals. But boy have I been tired and busy lately, so I thought it was good time to find great […]
This recipe was a great find!! These chocolate crisps take only a few minutes to make and are absolutely delicious. They are super crispy and chocolatey and the addition of either dried cranberries, cherries or even toffee bits makes them even better. My favorite way is with either the dried […]
Yay!! I am finally coming back from quite a long break with a super simple yet delicious recipe. Once again I have been battling digestive issues, so needless to say I have not been up to cooking, taking pictures, or honestly much else. It has been difficult to get through […]
This muddy buddy popcorn is Amazing!!! Seriously take the 15 minutes it takes to make and try it, but beware you may be tempted to eat it all. I have made more batches than I can count since finding this recipe in the book Party Popcorn. I even made several batches […]
Well, I know this is a “food” blog. But food making isn’t the only “from scratch” thing that goes on in my kitchen. I also make a lot of my health, home and beauty products from scratch. Over the years I have started making my own body scrubs, lotions, lip […]
Happy New Year and Thank You for subscribing, sharing, liking and pinning !!!! Your support and feedback have been great. 2014 marked the first full year of this blog- I made it!!! It has been an interesting journey for sure. I have learned a lot about starting up a blog, […]
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 […]
I know hamburgers are simple and basic, but nothing can beat a perfectly seasoned, tender burger whether cooked on a hot grill or stove top. Over the years I have tried many different ingredients and seasonings in my hamburgers and have finally settled on this version that my whole family loves. […]
I am sure there are plenty of great s’mores rice krispie treat recipes out there, from simple to more complicated. But I wanted to share the recipe for these super easy treats I just threw together one day and we have loved ever since. They are super simple- I […]
These are absolutely amazingly delicious blueberry muffins. Every time I see blueberries on sale my mind goes right to these soft tender muffins. They are not the basic blueberry muffin either- They have a super moist buttermilk muffin base with blueberries , but you also swirl in some fresh sweetened […]
Lately, I have been eating eggs on everything. Partly because I have so many fresh eggs thanks to a wonderful friend, but mostly because I love them. I think they are great on leftover veggies like zucchini or roasted potatoes. But lately I have been eating them regularly on asparagus […]
This cake is a cross between a delicious coffee cake and a cinnamon roll. When eaten warm it actually tastes just like a warm cinnamon roll straight from the oven–only without the hassle of working with a yeast dough or the wait of allowing a dough to rise. This cake […]
This is the best grilled cheese! My husband proclaimed that I have ruined him for regular grilled cheese forever by making this for him. A grilled cheese made even cheesier with parmesan cheese cooked on the outside- yum! I have had a grilled cheese similar to this at a popular […]
In general, I try to make sourdough or whole grain bread for my family, but I must admit, there is just something about a nice soft slice of homemade white bread. And this is hands down the BEST recipe for white bread I have tried. I came across this recipe […]
This is one of those posts that’s more like and idea than a recipe, kind of like one of the first few posts I did for Mexican Rice Bowls. I wasn’t going to post this because of the simplicity, but I figured why not? I am always trying to think […]
