This ice storm sure has packed a punch for Oklahoma. I've got limbs down everywhere. A tree fell on my car! Our heater and wood-burning stove has been working overtime the last few days. I'm ready for the rain to stop and the ice to melt so my trees can get back to trying to… Continue reading Copycat Cracker Barrel Fried Apples

Copycat Dunkaroo Dip
I've been on a copycat recipe making spree. With the pandemic, I haven't gotten out much. I don't go out to eat, I rarely order takeout, and I limit my grocery shopping trips. Because of all that, I've been trying to recreate my favorite restaurant recipes at home. So far, I've attempted recipes from several… Continue reading Copycat Dunkaroo Dip
Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Life without an oven sucks. Our oven has been broken for going more than 2 months now. We've been battling our home warranty company for that time to try and either get it fixed or get a new one. We FINALLY had a warranty-approved repair man come out and look at it and he said… Continue reading Slow Cooker Blueberry Cobbler
Almond Blueberry Overnight Oats
I'm running out of overnight oat ideas! They've been such a hit in my house since I made the first batch of apple pie overnight oats. My husband eats a jar full before he goes to work. So far, this blueberry version might be his favorite. Overnight oats are the answer to just about everything.… Continue reading Almond Blueberry Overnight Oats
Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
I know I'm on an overnight oat spree right now. I get it. It's almost a ritual at this point. When I meal prep on Sundays, I make a batch of overnight oats for my husband. I did eat some of the apple pie overnight oats, but the last two batches I've made have been… Continue reading Strawberry Cheesecake Overnight Oats
Apple Pie Overnight Oats
I count my blessings everyday to be living in this new house we bought. Sure, there are a lot of things wrong with it. And if I discover one more animal trying to get into the house---I might lose my mind. We're currently spending hand over fist to remove some starlings that decided to take… Continue reading Apple Pie Overnight Oats
Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
Rob and I have become Aldi nerds. We've figured out we can get far more bang for our buck by shopping at Aldi. I've cut back our monthly grocery/food bill from around $400 a month to $200 a month while we finish up buying our house. Aldi plays a huge part in that. There's certain… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cheerio Bars
Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Nostalgia is king right now. I think people hit a certain point in this self-isolation that makes them yearn for the way things were...even yearning for the way things were 10-20 years ago. I've been going through old pictures and notes from my friends. I've been rewatching Gilmore Girls for the 100th time. I'm even… Continue reading Katharine Hepburn’s Brownies
Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
I'm a little late to the spring party, and I think Oklahoma is, too. It's been 30-40 degrees the past few nights. I haven't managed to venture outside in 2-3 days since my allergies have been going haywire. I'm missing the little blossoms on the trees, the weeds that are in bloom, and the cheery… Continue reading Marbled Carrot Cake Cheesecake Bars
Banana Pineapple Bread
I swear, bananas do not last long in my house. Maybe it's because my kitchen is so warm and humid, or because we'll at a few bananas and then forget about the rest, but at least 1-2 bananas goes bad before we can get to them. Right now we are in 'waste not, want not'… Continue reading Banana Pineapple Bread
