MISSISSIPPI POT ROAST

I can’t imagine how many pot roast recipes I’ve tried over the years. I always seemed to stick to the old Campbell soup recipe with cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup. This pot roast is so much better! So here’s the cast of […]

Winter can be a difficult time for a fruit lover. Aside from certain citrus fruits (which are great… don’t get me wrong), not much is in season, which means that all of the other fruits in the supermarket are (a) more expensive and (b) worse […]

LEMON RICOTTA CHEESECAKE WITH BLUEBERRY SAUCE

It’s time for another cheesecake recipe. The last time I made cheesecake, it was as classic as cheesecake gets, and it was amazing. But I recently decided that I was ready to branch out in my cheesecake baking skills and try some new flavors. Starting […]

Goulash Recipe

Okay, what I’m about to tell you may seem a little weird. I’ve never made goulash before this. I know, I know, it’s pretty standard fare. I have certainly eaten my fair share, and I’ve made lots and lots of Hamburger Helper, which this dish […]

EASY PUFF PASTRY APPLE TART

Forget everything you thought you knew about apples needing to be coated with cinnamon in order to be amazing. All they need is a little butter, sugar, and honey (AKA more sugar). This dessert is basically something that looks so fancy and amazing that everyone […]

Crunchy Parmesan Garlic Chicken

Fast forward a few years, and have you seen what they put in that stuff (Parmesan Crusted flavor linked)?! Ew. Luckily, I reduced the number of ingredients from a whopping 28 to 6 clean ingredients just by using stuff I already had in my kitchen. […]

Lemon Blueberry Bread

My kids love to snack on Driscoll’s strawberries or take them in their lunch. They loved trying their sweet yet tart blueberries in this Lemon Blueberry Bread. It’s so moist they kept calling it cake. The bread is super simple to make. The hard part […]
