Looking for a quick and refreshing summer-time treat that kids and parents will equally enjoy? After the success of my watermelon-berry popsicles last week, I decided to try a new variety, and they were delicious! Not only are they light, cool, tasty, and quick to make (with just a few ingredients) but they are […]
A few years ago, my oldest daughter taught me how to make zebra cakes. I was shocked at how easy they were to make but mostly how brilliantly fun the presentation was. Yesterday, when my birthday boy asked for a chocolate and vanilla cake, I immediately thought of making a zebra cake…but because I […]
Summer is almost here…and with the weather we’ve been having lately it feels like it’s already arrived! We’ve been enjoying a few treats lately that remind me of summer - cool and refreshing real-fruit popsicles and these….mason jar dirt puddings. Love desserts in Mason jars? You’ll love my Mini Key Lime Pies in Mason […]
Our kitchen is overflowing with watermelon, strawberries, and blueberries. It’s a good problem to have. We’ve had a pretty hot week, and yesterday while I was at the grocery store I considered for a moment buying a box of popsicles for the kids, but then I thought - why can’t I make my own […]

They tend to be picky when it comes to certain ingredients…especially when they’re new. While I was cooking this meal, several […]

Did you know that the first week of May is National Raisin Week? Well, now you do! I challenged myself to find something new and unique to make with raisins this past week, and I wasn’t just happy with my results. I was thrilled. Blown away. My taste buds were dancing. When I think […]
How often do you scroll through Pinterest, finding gorgeous photos of food that you want to make someday….but those recipes end up remaining “stuck” on Pinterest, never to make an appearance in your kitchen? I have so many recipes that I want to make, thanks to Pinterest, but I tend to stick with […]
I created a quick and easy recipe using Bumble Bee® Prime Fillet® Albacore Tuna With Sundried Tomatoes & Olive Oil as part of a sponsored series with Socialstars. All content and opinions are my own. #TunaStrong Lunch is my most challenging meal of the day, but it is often my favorite. Love to eat […]
These crescent rolls were present, thanks to my Aunt Connie, at just about every family holiday get-together and dinner we had when I was growing up. I have continued to make these rolls for every holiday for the last 20 years. You’d think I’d have the recipe memorized at this point, but I still […]
