give thanks
I believe this to be so, so true! The Hubby and I have had or fair share of troubles, some larger than others. Through them all we could always count on our Lord’s love. Sometimes it’s all we have… My heart grieves for all those that have been affected by the senseless actions in Orlando recently. I pray that the victims’s and their families will hold onto this promise. There may not be any understanding of why we go through challenges. Regardless, we can hold true to the fact that The Lord loves us and will continue to love us unconditionally. That is a promise I will take for sure.…

double the peanut butter goodness
Peanut butter cookies are a must make for the summer (at least in my family). The Hubby loves them, the Dad loves them and my Mammaw loves them. A good peanut butter cookie to me is soft in the center, crispy on the edges and dusted with sugar giving each a bit of extra sweetness and a little crunch. These cookies are all that a little more…I added in some peanut butter chips for an extra bit of peanut butter goodness. They are so easy! One of my favorite things about these peanut butter cookies is the fact that you can mix them up and bake them immediately…no chilling…

grilled goodness for DAD
Father’s Day is this weekend! That’s so crazy. I can’t believe it is already the middle of June and time to celebrate the men in our lives. Celebrating DAD In our home, Father’s Day has always included a home cooked meal, whatever my dad wants, and then typically we watch golf. The US Open Golf Tournament is usually on so we have to watch, & that is a must watch. Over time we have had everything from BBQ sandwich’s to pasta, but this year we are going to take things up a notch and light up the grill. Now I know what your thinking…the grill is Dad’s domain, but trust…

cheesy bread goodness
For me, one of the best parts of eating Italian food out is the bread. My favorite is the crusty bread, slathered in butter with mealy cheese everywhere. There is one small local Italian restaurant that inspired this bread that makes everything homemade. Their pasta is homemade, their sauce is homemade, their desserts are homemade and their bread is homemade. It’s all about the butter… Butter is what makes this bread so, so good. I use real unsalted butter (I typically only have unsalted butter in my refrigerator), not the fake stuff but real butter. To make it easy to spread I melt the butter. The melted butter seeps…

one pan pasta…perfect for tonight
Summer is definitely here in SE Texas and summer hasn’t even officially started yet. Along with a large part of the country out temps are in the 90’s and feel like the 100’s. When the weather is like this the last thing I want to do is have the oven on for a terribly long time and have a ton of pots and pans to clean up after. This dish is perfect as you cook everything in one pot. Prep & clean-up are super easy, perfect for summer cooking. People make claims that their dishes are one pot wonders and then it turns into one pot, a skillet & few cutting…

Father’s Day love
Father’s Day is just around the corner…like in just a few days and in my family my 2 brothers and I always claim to be the favorite of my parents. Now we all know deep down that I am the favorite, but they insist on making that claim as well. For this Father’s Day I wanted to do something real special for dad. I wanted to let him know just how good of a dad he has been, and this sign seemed like the perfect gift. I printed it out and put it in a frame so he can always remember how good of a dad he really is, and…

slow cooker ranch yumminess
Just because it is summer doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the best of all your slow cooker has to bring you. I mean what is better than being out all day playing (or working) and coming home to dinner being 90% done and knowing that everyone is going to love it…I don’t know about you but that sounds pretty good to me. Not too long a go I started making my own Ranch seasoning and ever since then I can’t seem to stop making everything with it, but favorite combo is with chicken. I just love how it pairs with the flavors and especially in this slow cooker dish. The…

Chanel & Mammaw – lessons to live by
I have been a fan of CoCo Chanel for as long as I can remember. There was just something about the way she carried herself, and her inner strength that immediately drew me to her…and then of course there were her designs. I honestly have no words for her designs. My lifelong dream is to have my very own Chanel bag and suit…and trust me I would wear the chains off of both. Maybe one day but in the meantime I can at least try to remember the lessons she tried to pass on to all women, and this being one of my favorites. I had a great grandmother,…
