I love to cook and bake for my family. I'm learning more and more about nutrition and implementing it into our diets.
So I had a serious craving for my dad’s potato soup the other day. I’ve never made this soup myself, never served it to the family, and haven’t had it in years but I had a fairly good idea of how my dad made it. So I kind of had to guesstimate it, replace the [...]
Super Yum! I ♡ soup! This was just something I threw together yesterday for the fridge. (quick meals) 1 large onion, chopped 4-6 cloves of garlic sliced 3 large carrots, chopped (I like them cut into thin half moon shapes) 3-4 celery stalks, chopped (I had the centers, so it was probably a little more) [...]

Last week I bought some pumpkin spice granola bars. They were good. BUT… didn’t taste like pumpkin. There were pumpkin seeds, there was pumpkin spice, but no actual pumpkin. Plus it was $3.40 for a box of 6! Holy wow. Crazy expensive! I don’t usually do expensive but the words “pumpkin” and “organic” took over [...]
How fabulously yummy does that look? I’m the world’s biggest fan of soup. I was reading about a tortilla soup on Southern Plate and it got me thinking of a soup recipe that we kind of made up at our house that most adults have a huge preference for. We called it enchilada soup because we [...]
How beautiful is this?! It was so lovely and wonderful. My best friend is the queen of interior decor! Fall and Halloween being her favorite season and holiday of the year. She also loves candles so she loved the idea of PartyLite candles. I personally like the idea of hosting the parties because A) I [...]
My girls loved these. I made a huge batch and froze the leftovers for busy mornings. 3 cups AP flour 1 cup quick oats ¾ cup buttermilk powder 2 Tablespoons baking powder 1 teaspoons salt (mix all these dry ingredients together and set aside) 2 ½ cups water 3 eggs, beaten ½ cup oil 2-3 [...]
I bet I know what you are thinking… but no, it’s not a cinnamon roll. It’s pizza… Oh yes, that is cheese and herbed french bread you see before you, with hidden layers of pepperoni! Now I bet you are thinking, I want that recipe…. okay. If you insist… 2 cups warm water 2 Tbsp [...]
Okay so I don’t have an exact recipe for this… I was winging it. First I fried up a whole red onion, 4 stalks celery and a few cloves garlic in some melted shortening. Then I tossed in about a pound of stew meat and let it get browned on the outsides. (mostly cause I’m [...]
I remember being super excited when my Father in law was willing to tell me how to make this recipe. Though I can’t honestly say that mine tastes as good as his, I do strive to get it as close as humanly possible. My husband’s father was Native American and the recipe is from his [...]
