Okay, when I tell you guys you NEED to make these, I am not exaggerating! They come together so quick and easy, and they’re incredible! You also get quite a lot so they make an easy dessert to bring to a party, bbq, get together, pot luck, etc. They’re so soft, yet chewy, and just…
Old School Cheeseburger Pie
This one is a classic, in my opinion. Growing up, my mom made cheeseburger pie all the time. It was a favorite and actually is still my brother’s favorite to this day. I hadn’t had it in years and then all of sudden one day I remembered it. I decided I needed to recreate this…
Birthday Cake Cookies
Hi friends! I know it has been a few months since I last posted a new recipe (I know, this sounds similar to the intro of my last post too). You would not believe the craziness 2022 has been for me, including almost losing one of my cats to illness, graduating with my Associate’s degree,…
Cheesy Baked Penne
Is pasta considered a comfort food? If it’s not, I think it definitely should be! Pasta is so warm, comforting, and incredibly versatile. There’s so many different kinds of pasta, so many sauces to dress it with, endless combinations of things you can add to your pasta dish. You can have pasta as a full…

Well, here we are in 2021. 2020 seemed like a long year, but we made it. Things have been off to a busy start for me so far, but I enjoy it. It feels good to have things to do and work on. Having been so busy, I’ve been trying to make recipes that are…
Savory Potato Soup
Soup season is once again upon us! And while I love the fact that the weather is cool enough to make soups and use my oven again, and actually enjoy fresh air with the doors and windows open, I don’t LOVE soup. It’s not that I hate soup, I definitely don’t. It just never feels…

To be honest, I am definitely not a fan of asparagus. It wouldn’t necessarily be my last choice for veggies, but definitely far from first choice. Anyway, it’s really good for you and my hubby enjoys it. So I had to come up with a way that would make it edible for me😅 Well, what…

Awhile back, I had dinner at my wonderful friend, Amber’s, house. Her husband grilled us some delicious steaks and she made these INCREDIBLE roasted potatoes in her air fryer.

Homemade Alfredo Sauce
I know things have been a little crazy lately. Part of the craziness has the stores virtually empty, at least out here anyway. Thankfully, we were able to get a little extra at the store before this all happened. However, our options are still limited and I’m sure it’s that way for many others. So…

It has been cold lately up here on the mountain. We even got a few inches of snow last Monday! With the cold weather, comes tasty, hot dinners. We like soup quite a bit around here. Not only does it taste good and warm you up from the inside out, but it’s generally pretty easy.…
Smoked Sausage Soup
I am not lying to you guys when I say, this soup is EVERYTHING! I needed a nice warm, winter soup to help with the colder weather here in the mountains that the hubs and I are not quite used to. I turned to my trusty cookbooks by my idol, Ree Drummond, A.K.A the Pioneer…

This recipe is one of the reasons that I started this blog in the first place. It doesn’t look particularly fancy or even overly delicious, but boy, does it taste good! Not only that, but it is extremely easy to make, and pretty fast too. Many of my friends and family had asked me for…
