I'll be the first to admit that I am NOT the world's best baker. You can credit my lack of patience for that. Baking is a very finicky science. It depends on precise measurements, temperatures and more. My cooking style is more fluid, more "pinch of this, pinch of that" and more open to interpretation.… Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter Poke Cake

Apple Pie French Toast Bake
Happy Halloween! I'm decked out in a Halloween shirt and Halloween makeup for the day, but after today it's all about my most favorite time of the year: CHRISTMAS! I started early...REALLY early.

Everyone is all about the New… Continue reading Jerk Chicken & Mango Lettuce Wraps

What does he do with all of this peanut butter? I'm not sure. I know that every time he sits down to eat a PB&J sandwich, he… Continue reading Chocolate-Swirled Peanut Butter Cookies
Sunday Sausage Breakfast Casserole
My family is deeply involved in sausage. Being of German decent, we both love and make homemade sausage. I've never tried my hand at it, but ever since I was born my uncles have made a sausage known simply as "German Sausage". A small town (Windthorst) outside of my hometown in Texas makes a sausage… Continue reading Sunday Sausage Breakfast Casserole
