Farmhouse decor is super trendy right now, and I will admit to being obsessed with it. But a lot of it seems overpriced for what it is. I look at it and I think, I could make that for a quarter of the cost. I guess that’s the drawback of the “rustic” look! When I saw the […]
Tater tot casserole is the epitome of classic comfort food: it’s creamy, cheesy, and full of carbs. And that’s perfect; a classic tater tot casserole is a great weeknight dinner. My family loves it, and I love how easy it is. But, if you know me, I gotta take everything up a notch. I’ve got […]
Easy truffles made with boxed brownie mix or boxed cake are kind of my jam right now. Okay, to be honest, I love any dessert I can make with a boxed cake/brownie mix hack. Whether you’ve got a family at home or a busy work schedule, using a boxed mix hack can save you SO. […]
I’ll be the first to admit: I love peppermint and mocha. One of my faves? A peppermint mocha latte! In fact, until a certain coffee shop introduced their Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew, I practically lived on peppermint lattes from there. But I hate coffee shop prices. And I especially hate the way the holiday drinks have a […]
I feel like the holiday season could also be renamed cookie-and-candy-making season, because it seems like everyone and their mother is making candy or cookies to give as gifts to people. And I’m okay with that. I’ mean, if I’m going to enjoy winter, I’m going to enjoy it with a hot cup of coffee […]
In my house, we are both blueberry fans and goat cheese fans; I feel like I say that every time I make a new recipe. In fact, goat cheese risotto is one my toddler’s absolute favorite foods. And you can check out my latest blueberry recipes in the links above. Since we love goat cheese […]
Back before I started blogging and creating recipes, I only made two dips. I mostly made an easy Ro-tel and sour cream dip, and while it is still one of my husband’s favorite dips, he got a bit tired of having it every week. So I pulled out some random ingredients and created a cheesy […]
With the official start of fall, it feels like it’s also officially the quarter of the year in which we are tempted with delicious, amazing desserts every time we turn around. And while I’m certainly not opposed to a good dessert, common sense tells me that I have to watch how much junk food I […]
If you’re in the mood for fall, these Pumpkin Cranberry Walnut Muffins are the perfect way to satisfy your fall yearnings. I could eat pumpkin everything all year long; it just feels festive and right as soon as Labor Day hits. The pumpkin just tastes sweeter and I don’t feel bad shoving my love of […]
Poutine is a popular Canadian comfort dish – and it’s one I didn’t even know existed until about 6 months ago. I was at a restaurant and one of their specials was a sausage poutine, and the description sounded promising: sausage, gravy and cheese curds over hot French fries. I mean, would you be able […]
My littlest just recently learned what a ghost was, and now he delights in shouting “Ghost! Ahh!” every time he sees one. So any ghost crafting is especially exciting over here this year, and every one of these ghost crafts are so cute and family-friendly. Pair your ghost crafting with some Halloween baking and pumpkin […]
We are still riding out the peach season high in our house, and I just keep making all the peach things. On the heels of Bourbon Honey Vanilla Peach Crisp, I made these Peach Blueberry Scones. Actually, to be completely honest, I made them both in the same day, because I just had the ideas […]
Peaches are the epitome of summertime produce season to me. The ripe, juicy fruit is perfect on hot summer days, and they kind of lead the transition into fall, which is my favorite season. Growing up, my mom always made apple crumble once the orchards were open for fall. I didn’t even know until I […]
I’m starting to think cookies may be one of my love languages (right alongside true crime podcasts, subscription boxes, and dry shampoo!). They’re one of the most simple recipes to make, but the more I bake, the more I’m finding their one of the most fun recipes to change up and reimagine in new ways. […]
Summer has made itself known here, and an icy, frozen margarita is a foolproof way to cool down and enjoy your summer at the same time! This Blueberry Jalapeño Limeade Margarita has got your back. Margaritas are my all-time favorite alcoholic drink. I am always up for a good margarita – especially when I’ve got […]
I’ve got wreaths for my door for Fall, Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, but I don’t have anything for summer. So all summer long, one of two things happens: either (1) my door just stays empty and sad, or (2) more likely, the Easter wreath gets left up until September, when I can put up my […]
Banana – now you know I am frozen banana crazy. It’s a perfect treat for summer. Oreos are such a classic cookie, but they are also so easy to fancy up. To me, Oreos are almost more of an ingredient than a plain cookie; I’m always thinking about what I can add them to next. […]
