This summer my bible study has been rotating houses and each week one of us cooks dinner for the group. It's been so fun to experience everyone's cooking! One week, my friend Cherie made these summer vegetables and they were so fresh and so delicious and such a great way to use up garden veggies. This is super simple to throw together and great for a cookout! Cherie just told us what was in … Read More
So this is like the easiest recipe in the world. Like so easy, who could mess it up? Any yet somehow I managed to mess it up and my first batch went in the trash. I mean, really?! So note to self, don't use stale marshmallows or you'll end up with a hard marshmallow mess. So, it really wasn't my fault, right?! It was the marshmallows I used! ;) So I ran to the store and got more … Read More
I had some peaches left over from my last peach run to the local market for the summer. They stopped selling them as they are on their way out of peak season. I was trying to think of a way to use them up before they went bad and I remembered these crumb bars that I've been meaning to make for literally 4 years. The original ones were blueberry but they are easily customized to your favorite … Read More
So I think I may have discovered my new favorite breakfast item! These little babies are super cute, portable, delicious, and you can make them ahead of time! Plus I love the fact that they have all the amazing flavor of pancakes without all the standing over the skillet and waiting for the perfect moment to attempt the "flip." I love that these have a little syrup baked right into them so … Read More
Since it's back to school time, I asked yesterday on my facebook page what your favorite after school snack was as a kid growing up. Mine was either cinnamon sugar toast or tortilla chips with cheese melted over top. Oh and I wouldn't turn down a chocolate chip cookie either, but those were more for special occasions. What's your favorite after school snack? I was scouring the internet … Read More
As promised, here is the homemade ranch dressing mix that you can use on so many things! My mom has been making this for so long so I asked her if I could share it with you. Of course you can use it to make ranch dressing, or you can use it for these ranch pretzels, oyster crackers. You can also use it to add some pizzaz to chicken or pasta or pizza (think ranch blt pizza/pasta). Mom says … Read More
So this may not look like much. You may think, pretzels, big deal! What could be so great about a bowl of pretzels? That's kind of what I thought when my mom told me about this new snack she made for a party. Well then she made them for my birthday party and I was instantly hooked! They are addictive little suckers! Seriously, I eat one or two and close the container and go sit back down. … Read More
For a long time, I've been begging Adam to help me build some wooden boards to use as backgrounds for taking food pictures. We would say, yes let's do that this week and then we would forget. So a month or so ago, I finally said we are going to Lowe's right now and getting the stuff to make these boards. So we did, and though it took us a few weeks to put the assembly on our to do list, we … Read More
I made these for a fun girl's night recently and they were SO good! One of the best parts is that there's no egg in them, so I could help myself to the cookie dough with no worries, not that I really ever worry about that!;) These were much easier than scooping out individual cookies and were chewy and soft and full of chocolatey cookie goodness. I will be making these again and again, I'm … Read More
Fresh ripe juicy peaches just scream summer don't they!?! They are so refreshing even by themselves in this hot hot weather. I saw this recipe in Cooking Light recently and had it on my calendar to make when peaches came in at their peak. I then saw it pop up on several sites since then and hesitated to make it. But I got a bushel of local peaches and was having some ladies over and I just … Read More
