SNOWBALL COOKIES

I think it’s about time we all started Christmas cookie baking, because you know, it’s never too early for cookies, is it? It totally feels like Christmas here, I mean,…

Chocolate Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies

This has been the longest week. I have had to stare at images of this recipe without constantly gorging myself for days. I cannot express how relieved I am to finally have…

CHRISTMAS EGGNOG BREAD

I love eggnog, but I can’t drink too much of it. It’s just not the holidays until I’ve had a glass of eggnog! This was taken from the internet last…

Smoked Paprika Chicken Cobb Salad

This salad is everything I love about Cobb salad, but much lighter. If I’m going to eat salad for dinner it better actually be healthy, right? Instead of adding smoky…

OREO ICE CREAM CAKE

I figured out the solution to my problem–buy the single stuffed oreos rather than the double stuffed ones. They tend to last a bit longer. But I still had to…

Freezer Friendly Spaghetti Meat Sauce

Every once in a while recipe magic happens. And by recipe magic I mean your entire family absolutely loves what you’ve put in front of them for dinner. By entire…

Grilled Pound Cake Dessert

Can you believe that until last week I had never turned on the grill by myself? For the month of July I decided it was high time to do Operation Use…

Thanksgiving Stuffed Acorn Squash

If you have never tried Acorn Squash…you must! It’s actually my favorite squash out of the whole squash family. It’s sweet but not too sweet and almost buttery after roasted.…

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

I know I say a lot of my dishes are super easy to make, but this one really is! A pork chop, an apple… and only 1 dish to clean. And…
