Go-To Banana Bread

My neighbor is so sweet and periodically will make us a loaf of banana bread. It's always so wonderful and perfectly moist. I had some bananas sitting on my counter way past their prime and wanted to make some banana bread. I like my bananas almost green when I eat them so I usually end up with several ripe bananas still on my counter and they usually end up forgotten. Not this time! My … Read More

Caramel Corn Chex Mix

I've had the idea of a "Take me out to the ballgame" chex mix that plays on "peanuts & cracker jacks" for a long time now. I had some leftover chex and decided to make that idea come to fruition! This combines lots of snacks you'd find at the ballpark: peanuts, popcorn, & pretzels with some chex thrown in and coated in delicious caramel! This Caramel Corn Chex Mix makes for an … Read More

Creamy Cheese Grits

So, I really am not a fan of grits like at all. Like, I really do not like them one bit! I know, I should just be kicked out of the South right now. However, when my friend Kathy made these grits a while ago for an event, I tried them and loved them! When I was thinking about what to make for Easter brunch to go with our waffles, I remembered these Creamy Cheese Grits and thought they would … Read More

Homemade Belgian Waffle Mix

Hope you all had a Blessed and Happy Easter! Our church had services on Saturday, so we opted to go then and the music and worship were so wonderful! We slept in just a little on Sunday and then got up to prepare Sunday brunch. I have been wanting to make waffles from scratch for a while now, but one thing has been stopping me. I don't own a waffle maker. Our house doesn't have much storage … Read More

One Hour Fluffy Dinner Rolls

I love warm rolls fresh from the oven, especially homemade ones. The thing is, usually when I make rolls from scratch it takes all day and then they might not rise properly or are too dense. When I saw this recipe I was immediately intrigued. I could have fresh homemade fluffy rolls in about an hour?! Sign me up! I was still nervous about the yeast because it can be temperamental, but this … Read More

Cake Batter M&M Popcorn

We were supposed to go to an egg hunt this past weekend and unfortunately it was cancelled because of the cold weather. I had already purchased the Easter colored m&m's for the eggs, so I thought why not use them in some sort of Easter treat! I had everything on hand to make this Cake Batter M&M Popcorn and thought it would be the perfect way to use up some of those m&m's. It's so … Read More

Glazed Carrots

My mom has been making these carrots most of my life. I can't believe I haven't shared them with you all before or even ever made them myself before now! They have such a great sweetness to them and are so easy to make! They are impressive enough for a dinner party or holiday meal, but quick and easy enough for a weeknight side dish. These would be great to serve for Easter too! Glazed … Read More

Homemade Fudge Rounds

After watching Will Ferrell's debut as "Little Debbie" on Jimmy Fallon last week, I got inspired to whip up one of her sweet treats at home. And if you haven't seen it yet, go watch it now. So hilarious!!! My favorite Little Debbie Snack growing up was either a Swiss Cake Roll or Fudge Rounds. They are both about equal in deliciousness in my book so I opted to try fudge rounds this time. … Read More

Sour Cream Coffee Cake

I've mentioned it before, but my Mother-in-Law is the most amazing cook & baker! She could really have her own restaurant, seriously! Recently she made us some coffee cake and it was so good I immediately asked her for the recipe. Yesterday I decided to make it just because and it turned out so wonderfully, very moist and sweet! This would also be a great treat for Easter Brunch! Sophie … Read More

My friend texted me the recipe for this Chicken Spinach Pasta one night after making it for her family. She thought I would enjoy it and that it would be a perfect to share on the blog, which was so sweet of her! I made it last week and it was fabulous!! Such great rich flavors and so easy to put together. This is a great weeknight meal as it doesn't take very long and most of these … Read More
