Several Sundays ago, my daughter was begging me for making brunch together. We had set forth our menu of scrambled eggs, sausage, french toast, smoothie, and fresh fruit. As soon as we got home from church, we got cookin’ in the kitchen. She wanted to make the French Toast all on her own – which…

I had one of those cravings for homemade ice cream. I received an ice cream maker as a wedding gift, and never really quite figured out exactly how to use it. Well, it is so simple! Using a Kitchen Aid ice cream mixer attachment with bowl, makes the process so easy. Yay! I was pleasantly…
This Key Lime Cream Cheese pie recipe is one of my mothers. She’s an amazing woman. I always joke that my mom isn’t the energizer bunny…she doesn’t tire and keeps going and going. When I was younger she worked full time, earned an additional college degree and always had home cooked delicious…
A fresh salad is always the healthy choice, however, in the warmer months of spring and summer it becomes my desirable choice. Something about the fresh, cool ingredients on a warm day hits the spot. I haven’t been to the Olive Garden Restaurant in years, but I remember loving the delicious house salad that…
Easter is just a few short weeks away as part of our rejoicing in Jesus’ resurrection, my family gathers together each year to celebrate with a meal and fun activities.

Ireland……………..Beautiful Ireland. As I sit here sipping my hot apple cider, I’m reminded of the recent trip I took to Ireland a couple summers ago with Jen, brother Craig and Kay. We had a splendid bit of time road tripping the southern loop of that beautiful countryside during the month of July. The emerald isle…
I love Asian food! Do you, too? I absolutely can’t get enough of the combination of garlic, ginger, and soy sauce. When I needed to start eating low-carb a few months ago, I became determined to find a way to incorporate Asian food in my diet in a safe, healthy way. And this DELICIOUS, IRRESISTIBLE…
Iced Cranberry Orange Bread Does this bread put you in the baking mood? Cozy, snowy, mornings call for a sweet bread baking. Coffee is lingering. Staying in pajamas. Children are (hopefully) still sleeping. Those quiet, peaceful mornings are just nourishing to the soul. There’s something comforting knowing we are home today and we will home…
Do you like to make resolutions? Are you able to stick to them? A new year is upon us, and I’ve been thinking about my New Year’s resolution. I’m not usually a resolution maker, because I don’t love adding another thing to my to-do list. But this year, I’m feeling a bit differently, and I…
Cranberry seems to be the fruit of the season right now. There are cranberry candles, soaps, lipstick, and nail polish colors as I browse through the store aisles. Then there are even cranberry wreaths, cranberry cake pops, and popcorn with cranberry Christmas garland (the later I did as a kid each year). I think it…
I don’t know if relish trays are a Midwest thing or used to be a more old fashioned dish, but growing up there was always a relish tray on my Grandma’s holiday table. A little research tells me they were very popular in the 1920’s when supper clubs were a hit. With the…
Thanksgiving is upon us! Hip Hip Hooray! We have so much to be thankful for, don’t we? For us, the great task of harvesting our crops has come to an end. Those especially long, grueling days (and way into the night) of high-speed, relentless work finished last week for our men. Now they are busy…
