Bananas are a staple on our weekly grocery list. Lance and I can't get enough of them, but some weeks we have a few that go brown, and we'll toss them in the freezer to save for when we make our favorite Chocolate Chip Banana Bread. We've made this banana bread recipe a lot! It's [...]
Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and I usually make a special dessert. Whether it's cheesecake, chocolate covered strawberry's or sugar cookies, I love having a treat to look forward to while celebrating. This year, I thought dressing up sugar cookies would be really fun to make, especially since I saw these cute Valentine's [...]
Roast chicken is a classic meal. There's something so satisfying about your house smelling unbelievably good and the dinner tasting even better. I know now that roast chicken is easy enough to make for a weeknight meal, but truthfully I was always a little intimidated by it. Not only for the fact that I had [...]
I first became introduced to this recipe by my twin sister, Emily. She was attending a "Soup and Chili Gathering" and each person was to bring a soup or chili dish. Emily texted me what she was going to make, and instantly I was checking out the recipe. At that point I never had chicken [...]
Lance and I have been getting cookie deliveries lately from friendly neighbors dropping by to say happy holidays. I love looking inside the festive tin boxes to see what treats are in store! In one tin box we got caramel popcorn, fudge and these coconut macaroon type cookies dipped in chocolate. I haven't tried those [...]
Breakfast is a meal I always have, but it used to be my least favorite meal of the day. I used to have either some cereal or instant oatmeal or just grab a granola bar and maybe a piece of fruit. Now I feel it's become the opposite. I really love to make a green smoothie, [...]
Winter is here and that means I make a lot of soup. I love how soup warms you from the inside out. Warm and welcoming this Winter Minestrone will cure those cold and blustery winter days. I made a big pot of this soup over the weekend in my dutch oven. This recipe makes a [...]
Granola is one of my favorite snacks. I usually have plain greek yogurt just about everyday, so I like to add a couple of toppings to my yogurt to mix it up. The toppings vary a bit depending on what fruit I have or if I want a drizzle of honey or maple, but this [...]
I always look forward to traditions. Not just during the holidays but any time of year. I feel it's nice to have something to look forward to no matter how big or small the tradition is. My fiance's mom makes cinnamon rolls for the holidays, and I already can't wait to have one on Christmas [...]
If you choose to cook one thing, they have to be these amazing Rosemary Sea Salt Sweet Potato Rolls. I feel there's nothing that tastes better than fresh baked bread out of the oven. They are topped with a honey butter mixture and sprinkled with sea salt. The thought of making homemade bread is intimidating, [...]
