Lately, I’ve been thinking about different trifles to make. Several years ago when I couldn’t find a recipe for an Oreo Trifle, I made one up myself…and it was amazing. So, I’ve been brainstorming about different types of trifles to put together. As I was thinking about strawberries and cheesecake, the though of having theseRead More
Alright, so here we are. The ultimate take-along dish that everyone asks me to bring to potlucks. Seriously, this is what I make almost every single time I’m supposed to bring a dish to a gathering, because it’s so highly requested. I got the original recipe for this about 8 years ago, but over theRead More

Although my family worships peanut butter (literally…myRead More
Growing up in our family, we were big fans of Hamburger Helper. It was quick, easy, and delicious. My mom could whip up a batch of this and serve it with some corn and green beans, and we’d have a complete meal. Within the past couple of years, I’ve learned a little too much aboutRead More
Over Thanksgiving break, I made a boo boo. My sister-in-law’s mom absolutely LOVES the s’mores candy bars that I make, and I had promised to make her a couple when we all got together for Thanksgiving. Well, 58 things down on my to-do list later, and I completely forgot about making these for her…and didn’tRead More
It’s December already! Where has the year gone? Either way, this time of year is my favorite. Fires crackling in the fireplace, beautifully decorated and lit Christmas tree, all the Christmas lights on people’s homes, the music…and of course, the food.
