Pumpkin spice everything is all the rage right now. I know it usually gets a big boost in the fall, but this year it seems like it's absolutely everywhere. I'm not complaining. I love pumpkin. I mix it in with my oatmeal, coffee, and pies. It's delicious. Pumpkin doesn't have much flavor in and of… Continue reading Pumpkin French Toast Bake

Tater Tot Breakfast Bake
I'm in the camp that believes breakfast casseroles are not just meant for the holidays. That's typically when people make them. I'm guessing a lot of people reserve breakfast casseroles for Christmas because they can feed a lot of people with minimal effort. But if you meal prep like I do, having leftovers is a… Continue reading Tater Tot Breakfast Bake
Blueberry Cloud Pie
If there's one thing I love about summer, it's the Fourth of July. My family used to go big for the summer holiday. We'd have enough fireworks set up to where we probably could have opened our own fireworks stand. Sausage, bratwurst, and burgers would be grilled up in record numbers. Potato, pasta and green… Continue reading Blueberry Cloud Pie
St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy
I had my first swig of Guinness this weekend. Can you believe it? I've spent 32 years on this planet with a very Irish name and never had a drop of Guinness. The verdict? It's some, ahem, potent beer. It's not really my cup of tea. I like my beers light, refreshing, and almost like soda. Guinness… Continue reading St. Patrick’s Day Bangers & Mash with Stout Onion Gravy
Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
My husband is a huge fan of peanut butter. He'll eat it on just about anything: graham crackers, chocolate, or simply by the spoonful. That's why I try to make a peanut-butter inspired treat for him every now and then. I've made chocolate peanute butter cookies, peanut butter blossoms, and even a cake-style Buckeye bar.… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Buckeye Bars
Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies
Christmas is all about traditions. There are foods you eat every year. Light displays you drive through every year. Present-giving-routines you do every year. My family sticks by most of the classics when it comes to holiday baking. We've been making big batches of decorated sugar cookies every year since I was born. This recipe… Continue reading Classic Christmas Sugar Cookies
Mini Breakfast Pizzas
You're hustling and bustling and trying to get all of your Christmas shopping done before next Friday. There's a ton of work left to do: decorations, wrapping, planning the big feast. Ain't nobody got time to worry about what's for breakfast, right? My family always keeps it simple on Christmas morning. We usually prep a… Continue reading Mini Breakfast Pizzas
Christmas Margaritas
This is the first drink blog post I've EVER posted on here! I've been keeping up with this blog for 7 years now and I can't believe I'm just now getting into the drink recipe game. I'm not usually one of those people who make mixed drinks often, but the holidays always inspire me to… Continue reading Christmas Margaritas
White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
There's something about melting chocolate that's just so, so difficult. If chocolate can melt so easily in your hand, why is it so hard to melt it in a bowl? I think I've finally mastered the art of melting chocolate, though. I made it work once and I've used the same utensils, the same brand… Continue reading White Chocolate Cranberry Fudge
Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
It's the holiday baking, candy-making and treat-giving season! I've been busy this weekend whipping up a bunch of Christmas treats (and Chex Mix) for family and friends. I can't take the treats to work like usually do every year since I'm work from home, but I'm still able to give some out to people. As… Continue reading Chocolate Covered Peanut Butter Crackers
