One of our favorite warm weather dishes is Strawberry Pretzel Salad. It’s one of those things you can eat for breakfast, lunch, or dinner without shame (well – maybe…

Cream Cheese Dirt Pudding Dessert
This past week was my husband’s birthday. Nowadays we don’t do much for birthdays what with work and grownup responsibilities. But … I do try my hardest to make the day special without spending much money. Usually I do this with his favorite meals (and having the boys make cute cards). I opted to do…
How to Make Resurrection Rolls
Ever since my husband and I have been married Easters have been pretty low key for us. He has worked in the church every year (until now), which means this holiday is one of the busiest of the year. We always go to church, put out a few eggs for the boys to hunt, and eat ham for…

Lemony Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
I have a confession to make… I am a cheesecake snob. *whew* it’s good to have that off my chest! When the husband and I started our low-carb diet, I told myself that it would be the end of all things delicious. And then I found a low-carb cheesecake recipe. My heart sang and I…
Sweet & Salty Chewy Bars
I made a variation of these oatmeal bars as a road trip snack a few months ago…and LOVED them! Little man approved as well, but the husband found them a little sweet for his taste {crazy}. The original recipe is from Ms. Rachael Ray, and I’ve adapted it quite a bit for what I usually…
Chocolate Pinwheel Biscuits
Have I ever mentioned to all of you how much I LOVE Bakerella?! Well if I haven’t – I am obsessed with her! Everything she makes is so adorable and delicious. I wish I could make everything she ever posts…seriously! Anyway – this morning when I was on Bloglovin’ I saw a new post for…
Foodie Friday {Chocolate Filled Raspberries}
I have so many recipes and food ideas to share with all of you that I have deemed it necessary to dedicate {at least} one day per week to food…I am calling it – Foodie Friday! Now, I have been really trying to eat healthy and kick any bad-food cravings I experience. One of my…
Buttermilk Ice Cream
The following recipe is a top-secret one from my Grandma Hilda’s kitchen. She was a southern belle & many of her much-loved recipes have buttermilk in them. I will tell you that I was extremely skeptical about trying her buttermilk ice cream {and her buttermilk pie} but since I have tasted it, I don’t make…
