Roasted Green Beans

Hope you all have had a Happy New Year so far! We had such a great time over the holidays and I don't know about you but I'm definitely having a hard time getting back into the swing of things.   The problem is its so much fun to just watch ballgames & movies and play the XBox instead of running errands or cleaning the house! :) Oh and  I guess its probably time to take down the Christmas … Read More

Favorite Recipes of 2011

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We had a fabulous Christmas and that picture above is us on Christmas morning. I can't believe it's almost 2012. This year has flown by.  We started out 2011 saying we didn't want to be as busy this year.  Well, we won't be saying that again because this was our busiest year yet!:) It has been full of so much fun and blessings though, I definitely … Read More

Decadent Brownie Bars

I know you all are probably full up on sweets, but trust me when I say you should make room for these.  After all, we still have New Year's before we have to shape up and hit the gym, right?!?! My aunt Tina made these for our Christmas gathering a couple weeks ago, and she told me the gist of how to make them.  When I got home I googled and found a recipe that sounded similar and so I … Read More

Merry Christmas Fun!

Hope everyone has an amazing Christmas full of fun, family, and lots of laughs! Do you have big plans for the holidays? We stay around here and celebrate with Adam's family Christmas Eve and my mom & step-dad on Christmas day.  We went to Kentucky last weekend with my Dad & Step-mom to celebrate so Christmas has already begun for us!:) I thought it would be fun to do this fun … Read More

White Christmas Peanut Butter Crackers

Warning! These treats are dangerously delicious! You might eat 5 in one sitting and not even realize it.  They are that good! This is one of my favorite treats hands down! Adam's mom makes them and they are so good that last year we asked her to include them as a part of our Christmas gift!:) Once I found out how easy they were to make (there are only 3 ingredients!), I decided to make them … Read More

Hot Pizza Dip

Adam had a work potluck Christmas party and asked if I would make something.  I normally do desserts for his work stuff but this time I wanted to try out a new appetizer.  I went perusing through my recipes and found one my friend Lori had given me for Pizza dip.  I also went googling and found another recipe that was pretty much the same with just some minor adjustments so I decided I would … Read More

Red Velvet Crinkle Cookies

This is one of those recipes that I saw and I just couldn't resist making it right away.  I had a Christmas gathering to go to and wanted to bring a dessert and thought these would be great to take.  The original version added peppermint but I opted to go with just straight red velvet so I didn't have to make a trip to the store.  These were a big hit! I think they would be even better with … Read More

It’s Beginning to Look a lot like Christmas…

Here at our house anyway, what about at yours? Do you have your decorations up yet? We put up outdoor lights for the first time this year & I'm so excited! Adam did such a great job putting them up! It was way too cold for me so I stayed inside.:) We have had our tree up since the day before Thanksgiving so we can enjoy it a little longer and so I could hopefully relax a bit more this … Read More

Chess Bars

For those not familiar with chess bars, they are prevalent in the South and have a cakey yet custardy consistency.  Basically sugary buttery goodness!:) I always love to eat chess bars. Its one of those treats that I can never seem to get enough of and I can eat two or three and not even realize! I knew this was the thing I wanted to make for our Sunday School girls night last month because … Read More
