I partnered with some friends to make this Lemonade Stand and Bake Sale, isn’t it adorable?!?! Plus, I just love the Peanut Butter Stuffed Rice Krispies Treats they were the star of the bake sale. {We built this beauty from scratch!} What kid hasn’t done one and loved it, right?! For our main recipe we were thrilled to […]
Easy Cheese Enchiladas
I can’t believe I didn’t realize that last Friday was really the 1st Friday of the month. I got so excited to share our 4th of July picnic with y’all that I just totally spaced this. This month’s KITK is from my sister. She is an awesome cook and is teaching her children well. Isaac, […]
Perfect Chocolate Cake
I found this basic recipe over at the Hershey’s website. I’ve had several friends try it and love it, so I had to give it a try. I made just a slight change to the recipe and I LOVE it! This recipe is so easy and uses basic ingredients….there really is no reason to buy […]

If you missed my posts last week, I shared some of my favorite picnic dishes which would be perfect for your party or picnic today! – Patriotic Fruit Kabobs –Classic Mustard Potato Salad –Roasted Sticky Chicken I always make this chicken salad with leftover chicken. It’s so easy and the best […]
Roasted Sticky Chicken
I love making a whole chicken for supper and special occasions. One it is so much cheaper than pre-cut chicken, the presentation is pretty, and my family of 4 will get at least 3 meals out of this one bird. I have exactly one bazillion and one recipes for cooking a whole chicken and this […]
Mustard Potato Salad
Mustard potato salad is a classic and simple side dish for any occasion. With protein-rich eggs and delicious creamy dressing, you’ll make this salad often! I love simple potato salad and this is, by far, my all time favorite recipe for it. There is a secret ingredient I use that makes all the difference in […]
Patriotic Fruit Kabobs
Fun party food doesn’t have to be super involved or time consuming. These Patriotic Fruit Kabobs are super festive and something the kids can help make too. What’s not to love about these strawberry, blueberry, & marshmallow skewers?!?!? They can be made the day before the party and as long as they are tightly wrapped they’ll […]
BBQ Chicken Wraps with Garlic Aioli
I was totally not in the mood for plain ol’ BBQ chicken the other night, despite the begging of two little children. I was a nice mommy and made it anyway, but searched the fridge for another option for me and this is what I came up with. It was actually a great way to […]
Fry Your Own Tostadas!
Y’all know already how much I love Mexican and Tex-Mex food! But I hate pre-made taco and tostada shells. They pretty much taste like cardboard to me. So many, many years ago I set out to start frying my own from regular corn tortillas. I do try to make my flour tortillas from scratch, but […]
Cake Donuts
So, I thought that I would share my cake donut recipe after all the drama that inspired over my Hawaiian Donuts a couple weeks ago. Hubbyman bought me the cutest mini donut maker last Christmas so I have been making homemade donuts ALOT! There are a ton of different types of donut makers from mini […]
Leftover Smoothies? No problem!
I know it’s hard to believe, but occasionally we have little bits of smoothie leftover. Sometimes, I just make way more than I think the kids will drink and I hate to waste it with all that fruit and veggie goodness in it. So, I make little popsicles for the kids. You’re probably thinking…yeah that’s […]
Thin Mint Cupcakes with Chocolate Mint Frosting
I was inspired by cousin talking about some yummy Thin Mint Cupcakes that she was making. I didn’t have a recipe but these turned out wonderful anyway. I shared some with my Phoenix Rice Krispies Challenge Team and sent some with hubbyman to work….everyone seemed to like them. Warning: These are very chocolatey and rich. […]
