Blogging fresh and easy to prepare recipes with a little fun served on the side!!
It's like December all over again around here! Cookies! Yay! This is my third batch of Peanut Butter Crinkles in three weeks. I'm getting to the point where I can make these without the recipe. I love that when that happens! Remember those classic peanut butter cookies, the kind we had as kids....with the little fork criss crosses on them? They were pretty crumbly, and sometimes darn right dry. But these beauties are chewy and crackly and crunchy and perfect. I'm … [continue]
Meatballs are beautiful things. I don’t know why I go so long before I make them. I love them. Portable, stuffable…like stuff them in your mouth stuffable. You could make a meatloaf with the exact same ingredients but it won’t taste as good as a meatball…why is that? Life is full of food mysteries my friends…. I […]

Sheet Pan Dinners! Brilliant no? Well I thought so. Starting with my post of Sheet Pan Fajitas . I thought I finally found a recipe collection that hadn’t been thought of yet. This world of Pinterest makes it so hard to be unique! Just to double check, I googled it and of course Martha, as in “The […]

Betty Crocker’s timeless Cream Wafer Cookies! I first posted these little beauties in 2011. Funny, I didn’t even give mixing instructions, only ingredients in my original post. I had so much to learn! I was using a little point and shoot and just messing around with snapping off some pics of my favorite food. Happiest […]

I love the idea of everything dumped onto a sheet pan, tossed together then thrown in the oven and boom….dinner done! In fact I love the concept […]

This recipe is a direct desendent from The Pioneer Women. At least thats as far back as I could trace it. I pretty much love everything she does. She is the first ‘food blogger’ I had ever heard of and boy has she done good! She went on to create quite an empire. She is a […]

It probably goes without saying that I spend a whole lot of time searching around for great recipes to share with y’all. I try to avoid any recipe that is too popular because a.) I want to have original recipes and b.) I do not want to step on my fellow food bloggers toes and […]

I have become a morning cook. I like to get all my cooking done in the a.m. During my working days I would try to cram all the cooking and photography in on the weekends. Exhausting and not much fun. This blogging thing is supposed to be fun…right? Besides, the light from my kitchen window is perfect around […]

Chile Con Carne: Chili without beans which makes it great for folks who’s bodies don’t like beans…the potential for humor here is overwhelming. I come from a long line of people who think the funniest thing on earth is gas…the human kind. You wanna see a family fall to pieces? Bring a whoopee cushion and […]

Looking for something different to kick up those #Paleo and #Whole30 salads you been munching on the last 8 days or so? This is so fresh and so easy! Throw all the ingredients into a blender, food processor or do what I do and just put it in a jar and use an immersion blender. I […]

Let me start off saying that taking pictures of beef is not easy. It isn’t easy for seasoned photographers let alone for someone like me of limited talents. But here it is! It was simply delicious and putting a label of Paleo or Whole30 on it seems limiting. I will make this over […]
