Mom’s Munchables

I’ve stopped my kids from begging me for Lunchables packs!
I know it has to be the bright colors and exciting images that draws kids to ask for these over priced, visually unappetizing food items at the grocery store.  The only real taste they have is in the juice drink and the candy bar.  Max [...]

Friday Night Pizza

Just about every weekend, we eat pizza. To keep the meal fresh and fun, I mix up the toppings from week to week. Pizza out is okay every once and a while, pizza at home is the best! I buy the ready made crispy crusts. We like Mama Mary’s Pizza Crusts [...]

German Chocolate Pie

Growing up, my Memaw always made two pies for the holidays: Pecan Pie and some kind of chocolate pie with nuts and coconut blended together.  The chocolate pie was my favorite!  When she passed away nine years ago, she took the recipe with her.  No one in our family has it or knows what it [...]

Roasted Chicken Breasts

I’ve been watching so much Barefoot Contessa on TV. I decided to copy her roasted chicken technique. It’s so simple, I had to make it. I admit it! I get in cooking routines and forget to try something new.
Now, this ‘technique’ is not new to the cooking world, it’s just new [...]

Vanilla Pancakes

After making Awesome French Toast from last weekend, I was curious how vanilla would taste in my pancake batter.  My kids thought I made flat cupcakes for breakfast, and of course, they ate every bite!  Notice that this is not a sweet batter, I skipped the sugar, knowing that there would be maple syrup added [...]

Most AWESOME French Toast!

For some time now, I’ve wanted to make really good French toast.  I’ve eaten plenty of not so good French toast from restaurants.  I’ve eaten so much that I thought I really didn’t like it at all.
This morning my life is turned around.  I feel a new spring in my step.  My kids and husband [...]

Mexican Stack Salad

I devoured a Mexican Stack salad for lunch today.  It has an odd combination of ingredients, but MAN, IT IS GOOD! The Mexican Stack Salad is perfect for pot luck gatherings.  If you have enough guests attending, each person picks one or two ingredients to bring to the meal.

HERE’S ALL YOU NEED FOR THIS TASTY [...]

Baked Sweet Potatoes

Before I served the Simple Cocoa Brownies the other night, we enjoyed these sweet potatoes buried under mini-marshmallows. It really put everyone in the mood for the holidays. And, it was practice for the big day, Thanksgiving.

Sweet potatoes are always around, but honestly, I never think to eat them until now. Their [...]

Simple Cocoa Brownies

 

.
I served these wonderful Cocoa Brownies last night after dinner to my family and friends. You should have seen the light saber duel that took place in my kitchen over the last brownie! My husband lost to an 8 year old Jedi Knight who was a master in the ways of the force.
I [...]

Harvest Apple Crisp

Let me tell you from personal experience,
THIS APPLE CRISP IS AWESOME!!!
This recipe is so quick to throw together with no fuss. You could make it a day ahead, but you would have to hide it from your family.
Do not leave this dessert unsupervised before serving, the crunchy topping will start to disappear. If [...]
