Preparing for Easter

ByMolly March 31, 2026March 28, 2026

Spring is here! The grass has really brightened over to green in this last week. The other day we went out to the pastures to see the baby calves born – boy, are they cute! I love to see the varieties – some all black, others with white speckles on their tails and face. …

Ribbon Salad and more…

ByDenise March 26, 2024March 20, 2025

Would it be Easter without Grandma Ruby’s Ribbon Salad? Probably not. I think I like it for the memories just as much as for the taste. It takes a little time to make—it’s worth the effort. The grandchildren are beginning to enjoy the colorful spring salad, too. Anna gulped it right down! Maybe she’ll call…

White Cheddar and Bacon Quiche

ByAnnie February 4, 2024March 20, 2025

A dozen eggs have been a great price lately at our local Aldi. Hurray! (Side note: does anyone out there love Aldi as much as I do? I think it is such a blessing!) So, I’ve been feeding my hungry tribe of five kids deviled eggs, breakfast burritos, egg casserole, and lots of different varieties of…

Happy Easter time! Isn’t this such a wonderful time of year? This morning birds are singing and there are delicate green and pink and white blossoms on the trees in our neighborhood. All of this new life gets me thinking about the new life that is available to us through Jesus Christ. I love this…

I’m here again with another amazingly delicious (yes deceptively healthy) dessert recipe. We have made this sugar free carrot cake for the past fews Easters, and it is so, so good! We even have taken it to a friend’s and served it without mentioning that it was in any way healthy, and everyone loved it…

Sugar Free Strawberry Sauce

ByAnnie April 12, 2022March 20, 2025

This strawberry sauce is so delicious and so easy to make. Best of all, it’s sugar-free! At our house we eat it on waffles, ice cream, and cheesecake. I even love to stir in a bit of it to my morning oatmeal. Lately, we’ve really enjoyed this strawberry sauce on sugar free angel food cake….

Spring, Hope, and Pineapple Coconut Coffee Cake

ByMolly April 3, 2022April 3, 2022

Two years ago, we were just at the forefront of the pandemic, and I a lot of questions had come to mind during this unstable period. Can you believe some of the changes that have occurred in our community, our state, our country, and our world since then? I would never have guessed a pandemic…

ByMolly April 7, 2019April 4, 2019

Hello April! Spring is here and so are upcoming birthdays and Easter! While I truly am not a huge Peeps fan (just a bit too much marshallowy for me), I thought these edible treats were such a fun way to initiate Spring! My daughter and her friend had fun getting their hands dirty and doing…

Pineapple Cake

ByMolly March 5, 2017March 22, 2025

Lately, my thoughts have been “think spring” with the warmer air, a few signs of green grass coming up, and a few blooms I’ve noticed showing up on trees. Spring will be here in just a few short weeks. This puts me in the mood to: organize, clean – and deep clean, get out pots for…

Pineapple Dream

ByMolly March 18, 2015April 11, 2020

This dessert is exactly what the title says – a dream! And it’s an easy one too! This reminds me of Shelby’s Pineapple Pretzel Salad, only add a few more ingredients – like butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar – and maybe a few more calories, too 😉 If you’re like me, this spring…

It’s a beautiful but chilly day here in our Iowa rural scene. Do you have blue skies today? The sun is shining brightly and the clouds are big and billowy. Just beautiful. The downside? I never know what coat to wear these days! Today I pulled out my winter coat, once again. 🙁 Thought,…
