Frozen yogurt pie . . . a perfect and simple summer dessert – just 4 ingredients and, aside from freezing time, takes only about 5 minutes to whip up! My kids claim it’s one of the “best things ever” and my husband and I love it, too. But what’s crazy is that it is one […]
I don’t claim to have any heritage in my background whatsoever that would make me a pro at cooking Mexican food. But I grew up eating a lot of home cooked Mexican food. Whether that was because it was quick, easy, and delicious or because we lived in Arizona I don’t know. I make Mexican […]
Twice baked potatoes are a favorite around here. Add a salad or some yummy roasted veggies and you’ve got a great meal. Load them up with all your favorite potato toppings, sprinkle some cheese on top or get creative with how you make them. This is how we do them at our house. They freeze […]
This beef stroganoff recipe makes for great comfort food that can be ready in about 30 minutes – which makes it a perfect quick meal. I remember making it when I went away to college the way my mom did when I lived at home but I didn’t have a written recipe, so I’m sure […]

My good friend Mindy made me try some sweet potato fries a few years back and I fell in love! I grew up knowing sweet potatoes as that stuff from a can with marshmallows on top for Thanksgiving. I know some people love it but I was not a fan. I’ve been experimenting with sweet […]
What do you do when you have leftover marshmallows, mini m&ms, and yellow candy melts from making a lego cake? Well, you can never go wrong with making s’mores! Here’s the fun version I tried out today. Just use a toothpick to hold the large marshmallow and dip it in melted candy melts. Then roll […]
Last year my friend Julie, from Marmalade Mom, brought me a zucchini from her garden. My jaw dropped when I saw the thing. I’m not exaggerating when I tell you that it was at least 2 feet long! I shredded it up and put it in ziploc bags, 1 cup of zucchini per bag, and […]
