a twist on a sugar cookie
I love cookies. Chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, brownie cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies…really ANY cookie. A few weeks ago I decided to bring 2 of my favorites together into one delicious cookie and make a Peanut Butter Sugar Cookie. A little something for everyone Each fall The Hubby takes some of his customers little yummies with calendars from his company. This year he wanted cookies to give out. He asked for his favorite chocolate chip cookies (recipe will be posted soon) and also for a peanut butter cookie. Well I couldn’t give him 2 traditional cookies, so I decided to change up the peanut butter cookie a little, don’t…

Mom Dibert’s Corn Casserole
The sis-in-Law’s mom, Cathleen is an amazing cook. Everything I have had from her has been so, so good. She is very well known for her pies, but she is also known for this corn casserole. Bring on the corn When Cathleen said she wanted to bring this casserole to our Early Thanksgiving Pot Luck Dinner I was so excited. I personally LOVE corn casserole, and my brother had told me how good her was so I couldn’t wait to try it. A few days before though she told me she wasn’t sure if she could make it as they were having new floors installed and she didn’t…

Bourbon + Bacon this Thanksgiving
Every Thanksgiving there is always a sweet potato casserole of some kind. Last year I did a casserole that had a little something for everyone (recipe can be found here) but this year I wanted to take it to the next level. It all starts with Bacon In my family if you want to make everyone happy you can add bacon to it and everyone will LOVE it. I was hoping this little trick would work for sweet potatoes as well. You see there are a few people in my sweet family that are not sweet potato fans. This is proof that not all people are perfect, just kidding (not…

Pumpkin in the morning
Hello Fall…you know what that means…it is PUMPKIN time!! I have to say the beginning of Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. Bring on the pumpkins, yummy foods and cooler weather!! A match made in pumpkin heaven… Over the next few months you will see pumpkin recipes everywhere, for everything so I thought why not start with the first meal of the day…MUFFINS (I mean breakfast)! I love pumpkin bread for sure but pumpkin muffins are my favorite. They are even better when loaded with cream cheese and chocolate.

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…
