Is it the weekend yet? I love weekends in the fall, there is always so much going on- pumpkin patches, hayrides, apple orchards, church events, family reunions, sports and just about everyone is having some sort of fall festival. So much to do, and yet it doesn’t feel as overwhelming and busy as other times of the year. I think everyone is excited for the break […]
We love grilling out in the summer and with July 4th just around the corner we wanted to share a Grill-a-Meal with you! This meal is perfect for your summer BBQ’s, especially this holiday weekend! Chicken legs are an inexpensive and easy alternative to burgers. We got a pack of 14 for about $5, but if you watch for sales you can […]
July 4th is just days away and as I was doing my meal planning this week I realized I’ve never shared this recipe on the blog! It’s a tragedy really because these little bite sized treats are a crowd pleaser for your summer picnics! I made them a few years ago and they’ve been a Fourth of July tradition ever since! […]
These popsicles are so creamy and delicious, I could eat them for every meal. OK, more specifically, breakfast. I ate them for breakfast. What? Don’t judge, they’re actually very healthy! It was the perfect start to the day, especially with some of my favorite zucchini bread! If you’re not a fan of avocados, don’t worry, you can barely taste it. They taste […]
I’ve discovered a few hidden talents this week! First, I can talk to cats! My Dad got a couple of kittens this weekend and the poor little things were just heartbroken and not eating. On a long shot, I decided to call to them like a momma cat. This wasn’t just an ordinary, half-hearted meow. It was a very distinct […]
Summer has just begun and we’re already in the middle of a heat wave. Temperatures in the high 90’s all week. That’s hot for this early in NC and we’re not ready! My facebook feeds have all turned to broken air conditioner posts and pictures of the thermometer gauges in peoples cars. It’s out of control. Meanwhile, we’ve still got lots […]
Last year I found out I was allergic to wheat, which means I am officially gluten free now. Most people don’t exactly know what that is and assume it’s either to help lose weight or just means I can’t eat wheat bread. I actually had a few people say “well you can still eat white bread, right?” umm.. no. No […]
I have a large family and we try to get together 1-2 times a month for afternoon snacks/dinner. There’s usually about 15-30 of us depending on who is there and if they’ve brought friends or dates. When you’re feeding that size crowd it’s important to keep something on hand that’s easy, inexpensive and delicious. Much like me, they all have a sweet tooth, so brownies are […]
The end of the school year is fast approaching and already here for some. For my husband, that means the end of Good News Club. Good News Club is an awesome ministry he serves with at a local elementary school. They offer after school care one day a week and share the gospel with the children through games, songs and […]
Now that fall is here I have really been wanting to go to the apple orchards. I blame pinterest really.. all of these delicious recipes and cute crafts for kids. Of course, then there is facebook, all of your friends posting their pics of fresh apple doughnuts, hot apple cider and kids smiling from ear to ear, apple in hand, under the […]
This is the bark that started it all! Well, my love for barks at least. 😉 I call it Christmas Bark because I found it at Christmas time and I usually make it at Christmas. It also has the red from the cranberries and green from the pistachios so it seemed fitting and easier to say than Cranberry, Pistachio, Dark […]
This recipe may be the greatest discovery of all time. It’s only 2 ingredients, can be made in 5 minutes and keeps for up to 3 weeks. Seriously! Oh and did I mention it’s fantastic!! I stumbled upon this last year when I was looking for homemade Christmas goodies to make for gifts and everyone always loves it. Cookies and […]
Wow! A week away from Christmas, already? If you are like me you probably have a busy week ahead with lots of places to go and things to do, most of which probably require bringing a little dessert or snack. What to bring, what to bring? It needs to be quick, easy and taste delicious! I went to my first Christmas […]
Here we are just over a week away from Thanksgiving and all I can think about is cheese dip.. holiday-ish, right? I actually started a post on cheese dip yesterday, unfortunately having a sick toddler got in the way of that. Hopefully you’ll forgive me for not posting, I did post a little yummy treat for my facebook fans out there. Today […]
Yesterday I added 26 meals to my freezer.. yep 26. It was fantastic! Don’t worry, I’ll be getting those recipes up soon but today’s post is actually about what I made after the 26 meals.. Spidee Brownies! Anytime I do freezer cooking I like to reward myself with a special treat. Yesterday, I decided to treat myself to these cute […]
