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

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
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

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
