The primary reason I started this blog was so that I can look back years later and have a memory book of our lives. I am not great at journaling on paper and I take a lot of pictures, so the blog thing just seemed to make sense. So today I am sharing a little […]

I’ve said it once and I will say it again, I am not the best cook, nor do I particularly like to cook. But, if I find an easy recipe that my family loves then I am happy to do it. This recipe is one of my husband’s all-time favorites and he often states that […]
Valentine’s Day is just over a month away which means I start to think about yummy, decadent desserts. For the past few years I have made The Hubby something special for this day and I like trying things I don’t normally make. So, I scoured Pinterest for some ideas for this year and found some […]

I bought a huge can of pumpkin that needed to be used up, and per The Hubby’s request I made these pumpkin goods for an early morning hunting trip breakfast and for guests we were having stay the night. These were simple to make and the streusel topping gave it a little extra something special […]
With two cans of pumpkin in my pantry and a husband begging for a pumpkin treat, I scoured Pinterest before coming across this recipe and knew I had hit the jackpot. These “Starbucks knockoff” pumpkin scones are even better than the “real” thing and were approved by my whole family. A few times. 😉 Below […]
This is my new FAVORITE salad. It is fresh, filling and full of yummy goodness. For not having any meat in it, it sure is packed full of protein as well as healthy veggies and is topped with a delicious, sweet and sour cilantro drizzle. I made this for a family dinner one night when […]
Last week I browsed the internet for a basic broccoli salad recipe before we had guests over for a BBQ. I found one that looked very appealing and healthy, so I thought I’d give it a try and substitute what I already had on-hand. It turned out great! And our guests enjoyed it as well. […]
