My family and I recently took a week long vacation to San Diego, Ca. We love going there since it’s only a 6 hour drive from our house. Since we go so often, I wanted to try some new things and stay at some different hotels. I contacted a couple places to let me do […]
Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
I’ve shared a lot of desserts and not-so-healthy dishes recently, so I figured I should balance it out and share this one. I made these cute mini-muffins for a church potluck yesterday and they were eaten up! No one even realized that there was no oil and made with whole wheat flour. If I was […]
Candy Corn Rice Krispies Treats
As you know, we just finished up our Halloween Rice Krispies treat challenge. I had this idea to make candy corn inspired treats as part of our table decorations. I think they turned out super cute. The recipe is really just the basic RK treat recipe, but the there is a little technique to getting […]
Hot & Spicy Peanuts
We recently drove to San Diego for a week long vacation. I hate stopping a lot for snacks and lunch so I always pack a picnic lunch and make a bunch of snacks to take with us. I remember my mom packing a ton of snacks including her version of spicy peanuts on our road […]
Pumpkin Dip + Video
I look forward to making this sweet Pumpkin Dip every fall. It’s my #1 requested fall recipe and there is never a bite left. Y’all are gonna love this sweet pumpkin dip with crisp apples, sweet pears, gingersnaps, and graham crackers. Pumpkin Pie Dip with Nilla Wafers I love, love, love this dip. This is […]
Rice Krispies Caramel Apple Treats
These Rice Krispies Caramel Apple treats with real apples, spices, and caramel bits are one of my favorite Halloween treats. These treats are delicious on their own, but dip them in caramel and add your favorite candy or sprinkles and you are taken to a whole new level! Before you begin cooking, rough chop 1 ½ cups of […]
Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers
We were recently visiting with my cousin and he mentioned how they make bacon wrapped jalapenos while camping. He had a tasty little picture on his phone and it looked AMAZING. Hubbyman quickly reminded me that we had a jalapeno popper tray that we got on clearance and hadn’t use yet. I know what he […]
Cheesy Garlic Bread
I have a fun little tip for y’all. I don’t remember where I first heard it, but it totally works! Instead of waiting for your bread to cool down to cut it (who wants cold cheesy bread), flip it upside down on your cutting board to slice it. I do it straight out of the […]
Chicken Teriyaki with Broccoli
This is one of my family’s favorite suppers. I make the sauce in a large batch. I make up freezer packets for this meal, so that I know we have what we need when we want it. This is the only meal that my kids will willingly eat broccoli. In a large freezer bag I put […]
Cedar Planked Teriyaki Salmon
My hubbyman doesn’t do a lot of cooking in the kitchen, but give him a grill or smoker and he is a king! I love that he is such a great outdoor cook. It gives me some days off and keeps the house cool in the summer. Luckily, we live in AZ so it is […]
Spinach & Tortellini Soup
This soup is the result of me cleaning out the fridge and freezer. I had a bunch of odds and ends left over, not enough to keep, but too much to throw out. It’s not the prettiest of soups, but it actually turned out really good. The kids were super excited about the tortellini and […]
“Almost” Snickers Ice Cream Dessert
At least once a year, my family loads up the car and heads to Hubbyman’s Uncle’s cabin in the woods. It’s such a getaway and a great change of scenery. Luckily, they have their cabin with all sorts of books, videos, and toys. On our recent getaway, I started digging through their collection of recipes. […]
