It’s a muffin puff kinda morning…
I do not have enough words in my vocabulary to tell you all how much I love these muffin puffs. Yes, you read that right, I am in LOVE with a little treat we call a muffin puff. Trust me they are as cute as they sounds and as yummy as they look. What is a puff? Simply put it is a cross between a muffin and donut hole, but there is nothing simple about these bites. First, they are easy to make like muffins. Mix everything together and then bake it off in cute mini muffin pans. I LOVE mini muffin pans. Don’t you? Some of the best bites…

Simple Perfection for dinner
Sometimes the best dinner is all about something super simple, but super delicious. This chicken may seem a little simple, but just wait until you try it…it is so, so good! Simple and SO GOOD! In my world simple starts with just a few ingredients and as few steps as possible to make it amazing. And for this chicken it is all about the seasoning combo. When it comes to seasoning combos I sometimes like to use a very fine blend, but sometimes I like a more course blend. I find that a course blend can really amp up the flavor without adding a ton of work….and that is a…

meatballs are on the menu…
Are you fan of meatballs? I AM, but just recently started making my own. Never needed to… I am a huge fan of meatballs and I became a fan of meatballs because my MeeMaw (look how cute she is) would make them. She would always have some in her deep freeze. She would whip them out for a quick pasta dinner or for her meatballs and gravy. In college I attempted one time to make meatballs, but they were nothing like my MeeMaw’s, and I never made them again until now. The rolling begins… When I decided it was time to attempt meatballs once again I went searching for my MeeMaw’s recipe. After…

Easy Peasy Sauce
DO you have big family dinners in your family? We try too and our family dinners are so much more fun now that we have my nephew and niece …they both love to eat and are sure to provide a show of some sort making it fun always. A family tradition… One thing we always try to make family dinner is easy and this sauce is perfect for any family dinner. Growing up mom would usually make something kinda special. A favorite casserole (like this one) or her almost famous fettuccine alfredo, or chili when it was cool outside. Whatever it was you knew it was going to be good.…

Blondes (& blondies) really do have more fun
One of my most favorite times of the year is when the Easter M&M’s hit the store shelves. I just love them so much…the colors are so pretty, there is pink involved and it also means Spring is coming and the cold weather is leaving. So to celebrate my favorite M&M’s I decided to make them a star in these beautiful blondies. M&M Fun I have always loved a blondie. They are sweet, light with the perfect hint of chocolate but these M&M blondies are even better than a more traditional version…they have M&M’s in them which makes them AMAZING! To make these super yummy it starts with butter…

bacon green bean casserole-yes I said bacon
Over the years I have come to the conclusion that you are either a fan of green bean casserole or you are not…it’s really that simple. I have always landed on the not a fan side of this debate but my brother, James, is a HUGE green bean casserole fan and asks for it every holiday…but this year it was time to take it to the next level. For my brother Most of the time my sis-in-laws mom will make it for him, but for Easter I decided to take on his request but to make it in a way that I (and the other non-lovers) would love as well.…

a little late to the carrot cake table…
I asked some of my family a few weeks ago what they wanted for Easter desserts and surprising to me a couple of them mentioned carrot cake. Now this may not be so surprising to many of you, but to me it was as I don’t ever remember this cake EVER being on our Easter buffet…EVER!! It is so much more than just a cupcake And just to make things more fun, I have never even had a bite of carrot cake, so from the start this was going to be a super fun dessert to take on. OK, now I know it is crazy that I am in…

Pistachio fluff?? Yes, please
Growing up there is one side dish that I always remember being on almost every Holiday table…Pistachio Fluff Salad. I also remember that I was never a big fan of it (I didn’t like anything green as a kid) but I knew that everyone else LOVED it). Fluff…yes please!! As I was thinking about our family Easter dinner this year I kept thinking about that green stuff that everyone seemed to love, (& my brother asked for it) so I decided it was time to make it. Now as I am sure you have realized a lot of childhood memories are a little distorted being that they are from…

no oven space needed for this ham
Easter is this weekend and that means it is time to start planning the menu and trust me this ham is a must have for your Easter get together. I don’t know about your family but Easter always mean ham to us. We used to buy it from that Honey Baked place and it was crusted with this delicious sweet crust and as delicious, but also expensive so this Easter I decided to try to fix one myself. No oven needed There are tons of ways to fix a ham. Some recipes call for maple syrup, some for pineapple slices, or pineapple juice, while other just have a spice rub…for me I…

carrots…ok maybe I can like them
I have a love hate relationship with carrots. I like them in things such as soups or casseroles but I am not a huge fan of them on their own, that is until now. I decided it was time to create a carrot recipe that I would love and what a better time than Easter to fall in love with these cute little veggies. Carrots, Carrots and Carrots The first choice was to decide between the long beautiful ones or the cute little baby ones, and to help save on time (& some mess) I went with the cute baby version. OK now that I knew which carrots I was going to…
