it’s biscuit time
If it were up to The Hubby it would always be biscuit time. I honestly think he would have biscuits at every meal if I made them…unfortunately for him I rarely make them so when I do it is quite the BIG DEAL! I decided a while ago that since The Hubby loves them so much maybe it should become his job to make them. I mean he could make the biscuits when I was making dinner or the gravy (if it were breakfast…or dinner…WOW I really want gravy now). Anyway back to the biscuits…I was showing The Hubby several recipes I have gathered over the years and he settled…

be awesome…always
Do you ever have one of those days that you wake up and you just kinda feel blah? Well, I know I have and I wish I would have had this sign posted somewhere to remind me to be awesome. I know that may sounds kinda cheesy but its true…I love having uplifting sayings around every so often to just remind me to look at the brighter side of things…and this one is perfect for just that very thing. As simple as this sounds it can sometimes be very hard to remember…especially in the middle of a trial or uncertain time in your life. I learned this lesson when…

mashin’ up a sweet tater
A sweet tater (or potato if your not my dad) is God’s gift to the land of yummy starches…at least in my opinion. I just love the bit of sweet (or sometimes a lot of sweet) and the bright orange color and of course all the delicious dishes you can make with these little orange treats. OK, now I know some of you might be thinking that a sweet tater dish is for the holidays, like in this sweet potato casserole, or as a side to your burger in fry form…but trust me this mashed sweet potato recipe is a must make that will make everyone fall in love with sweet potatoes…

cherish every moment
Time can really fly by if your not careful. I can’t believe my nephew is already 2 years old and my niece will be one later this summer…before I know it he will be 6 and she will be 5…and I will be…well, that much older. One of the things I have learned since becoming an aunt is to really cherish every moment…and this quote says it perfectly. I challenge you, as I challenge myself, to really take time to enjoy all the little moments. Don’t get so busy with work, the chores or just other busy work to not take time to really cherish the special moments of the…

simple salmon = delicious
As I have said before simple really is sometimes the best way to go…and this simple salmon is definitely the best I have had in a while. The Hubby and I love salmon and we have had many different ways. Some with sauces, such as this Lemon Caper Salmon, or some grilled like this Grilled BBQ salmon … but I have to tell you one of our favorites is just this simple salmon and this spice combo makes it AMAZING!! The spices are simple, and you probably have them all on hand…and if you don’t you really should because they can make almost anything yummy…but anyway this simple combo adds just…

one pan & done alfredo
Who doesn’t love a one pan meal…I mean c’mon it comes together with just a few steps and clean-up is super fast making this a perfect dinner option for a busy day. Over the years I made my fair share of one pan meals like this one pan spaghetti and this one pot sausage & potato stew but one of my most favorites it this cheesy one pot alfredo pasta. Alfredo sauce is my favorite sauce to put over noodles and when I can make everything in one pot it makes it even better. Now as we all know this cheesy and decadent sauce can be a little higher in…

A smart person…
This quote really speaks to me a lot…I have always wanted to be more wise than smart. Have you ever had something to say but in the back of your head there was something telling you to not say it? Well I know from experience that sometimes it is definitely lest to listen to that little voice…even if you have to literally hold your tongue (or bite it) to make yourself not talk. For me I like visual reminders and this printable is a perfect thing for me to hang up on my bathroom mirror, above my desk, put in my car…ok really everywhere…just as a simple reminder to…

remaking the oreo
I love Oreo cookies. At any given time you can find at least 1 package in my pantry…right now I have the original variety and the new S’more variety. PS… the s’more options is so, so good, especially for the summer. As much as I love the Oreo cookie I also love incorporating this favorite into cookies, pies and bars…today we are all about the cookie. If you have spent very much time here you know I love cookies…and I make a lot of cookies for The Hubby, my family & friends. One the years I have made everything form a traditional chocolate chip cookies (this is our favorite…

Memorial Day Thank You’s
What does Memorial Day mean to you? Is it just a day off of work or school? Is it a weekend full of BBQ’s with friends and family? Or maybe a weekend full of golf or boating? Or is it a weekend that you remember those who have passed away while serving this great country we live in? Memorial Day started back in the 1800’s as a way to remember those who had died while serving our country. When it started it was called Decoration Day and the loved ones of those who had passed away would decorate their grave sites as a honor for their service. Today we still decorate…
