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…

green beans in no time
Green beans are a staple in our home. The Hubby and I love them, my parents love them and my nephew REALLY loves them. They were one of the first foods he ate and still asks for them all the time. Over time we have fixed them all sorts of ways like these delicious green bean bundles, or my brothers favorite green bean casserole or one of my favorites simply roasted green beans but now we all have a new favorite…these skillet green beans. The beauty is they start out in the microwave for a quick steam, and then you finish them in a skillet until they are just…

sheet cake updated for Honey
My mom’s birthday was not too long ago and we had a big family dinner to celebrate her. My brother and sis-in-law grilled out my mom’s favorites (ribs) and I was responsible for dessert and a side (the side recipe will come soon). For the dessert I asked her what she wanted and she said sheet cake…sheet cake really? THE DARKER THE BETTER (AT LEAST FOR ME) In my mind I was thinking about a beautiful layered cake, maybe cupcakes or a even a pie but mom wanted sheet cake…so I decided to take our family’s favorite sheet cake recipe and amp it up a bit…to make it a dark…

Wes & the Asparagus
Two of my most favorite people in the whole world are my niece and nephew Audra & Wesley. Audra is just about 8 months and Wesley will be 2 next week and I am obsessed with them. I try and talk to Wes once a day on the phone and see them as much as I can, and of course I am constantly spoiling them as much as I can. One of my favorite helpers One of my favorite things to do for Wes is to cook for him. From the time he could start eating real food I would bring him almost everything I made him…and sometimes when he see’s me he…

A slider to remember
So there has been a ton going on my life lately and sometimes there just doesn’t seem to be the time (or energy) to make a big dinner so instead lets make a little dinner with BIG flavor….Blue Cheese Bacon Slider! A slider is a favorite for me and The Hubby. We eat them out and at home. Sometimes we like just a traditional cheeseburger slider with american cheese, other times we take it up a notch with some grilled onions, a fancier cheese, some veggies and maybe even an egg…but my all time favorite slider is blue cheese with bacon. There is just something so delicious & yummy about the…

Bacon + Jam = AMAZING
Bacon & Jam together at last…yes you read that right today is all about Bacon Jam. For those of you who have not had the distinct pleasure of enjoying this wonderful jam then you are going to be in for the treat of your life (ok at least this week, ok maybe today) but is really is so yummy!! I first came across bacon turned into jam at a local hamburger place. They were putting it on their burgers instead of slices of bacon. Now I was a little nervous when I ordered by first bacon jam burger…but all that went away after my first delicious bite. The jam brings…
