This is a recipe I stole from my mom’s recipe box before moving out. When I’m craving something sweet, this is a go-to recipe I often choose. Because I often crave something sweet.

Wow! I successfully made it through 31 consecutive days of posting on the cooking blog. I’m on a roll now. Stay tuned for September’s monthly dinner menu ideas.
When I found today’s recipe it made me long for the days when you could send homemade treats to school with your kids....
My daughter and I enjoy watching Cupcake Wars on Food Network. They make baking cupcakes look so easy. So easy that even I could do it. I convinced myself of that and went right into the kitchen to replicate a Red Velvet cupcake with Cream Cheese frosting recipe I found online.

I just typed a long story of how I found these heavenly cookies and that they are a copy cat recipe of the amazing Mrs. Fields cinnamon sugar cookies and my blog decided it wasn’t worth saving. You have been spared. Instead, I simply present to you my new absolute FAVORITE cookie…

Labor Day is just around the corner. The end of summer is near. (I’m getting depressed already.) Send the summer out right with some homemade ice cream. This is my kids’ favorite flavor, though they do ask why it’s not really green like the kind at Baskin Robbins. I can’t...

I first tasted this delicious flavor of ice cream at Here’s Your Scoop in Lee’s Summit (Greenwood area by Price Chopper). Upon first lick, I fell in love. The sweetness combined with the saltiness was pure genious. I went home and told my family of my new love, begged them to come...
Papa John’s pizza and Blackberry Cobbler. That is what my husband wanted for his birthday dinner. Papa John’s? I like it, but that would be one of the last things I would ask for on my birthday. Blackberry Cobbler? Can’t say I’ve ever wanted to try it. But, it’s...
