When I think of the perfect vacation, I automatically think of a tropical getaway. And when I think of the tropics, the first thing that pops into my head is tropical fruit. Pineapple, bananas, mangoes, yum. Even you’re short on time or money, you can still enjoy a vacation. Enter the “staycation” or the art […]
If you step into the home & garden section of any store right now, you’ll likely see a huge display of mason jars. For the last couple years, mason jars have ruled spring! They’re cheap, simple, and have so many uses. I’m sure you’ve seen some mason jar crafts, but are you familiar with mason […]
Dump dinners and spring are the best combination. Any easy recipe that gives me more time to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air (though it’s still a bit chilly) is a good option! The days are getting longer, and my patience in the kitchen is getting shorter. Game plan: Come home from work, toss […]
We could all use a bit of luck every now and again. That’s why I love St. Patrick’s Day and St. Patrick’s Day desserts! There’s just something about St. Paddy’s Day that makes it different from all of the other holidays. It’s happy-go-lucky and fun without having any real expectations or obligations. For instance, I […]
For picnics, parties, and potlucks, there’s are no better dishes to bring than homemade deli salads. As great as casseroles and desserts might be, my favorite dishes from the buffet line at church suppers were always the potato salad and chicken salad! I consider myself somewhat of a connoisseur of deli salads, and let me tell […]
The grass is green again, flowers are opening up, and there is a light breeze in the air. It’s no wonder that everyone is chomping at the bit to go outside and be a part of it all. If you’re lucky enough to live by a park, maybe you’be seen blankets and baskets covering the […]
When the weather is finally delightful, all you want to do is bust out of work and get outside with family and friends. There’s no better way to do it than a potluck. Good food and good people is the recipe for spring fun. With a little help from us, you won’t even have to […]
I’ve mentioned before that I’m not the biggest chocolate dessert recipe fan. While I know that chocolate is a gift from the gods, it just doesn’t do much for me. I honestly prefer vanilla desserts over chocolate desserts. That being said, I prefer lemon dessert recipes over vanilla desserts. And, potentially, over all other desserts. […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not usually a huge fan of traditional carrot cake recipes. I like carrot cake fine, but it’s not my favorite kind of cake. If given the choice, I honestly usually reach for some chocolate cake or even funfetti. To me, carrot cake is a once a year-type […]
There are few sweet treats (or even savory treats) that are as delicious as carrot cake. At least, that’s how I feel. Carrot cake just has such a warm and inviting flavor that’s not too sweet but just sweet enough to curb an insatiable sweet tooth. Needless to say, I’m 100% a fan of carrot […]
