Fresh Apple Cake

So now that we are past Labor Day, in my book it’s officially time for the weather to start cooling down and time for football, jackets, pumpkin spice lattes and lots of delicious apple recipes! I know it won’t officially be fall until later this month, but to me Labor Day is the official end […]

Peach Pie Crumb Bars

I had some peaches left over from my last peach run to the local market for the summer. They stopped selling them as they are on their way out of peak season. I was trying to think of a way to use them up before they went bad and I remembered these crumb bars that […]

Peach Lemonade

Fresh ripe juicy peaches just scream summer don’t they!?! They are so refreshing even by themselves in this hot hot weather.  I saw this recipe in Cooking Light recently and had it on my calendar to make when peaches came in at their peak.  I then saw it pop up on several sites since then […]

Old Fashioned Banana Pudding

So I’ve mentioned my mother-in-law on here several times and have made several of her recipes.  Ya’ll, she should have her own southern restaurant.  She’s such an amazing cook & baker and I’ve learned so much from her! I never even really realized you could have banana pudding from scratch until I had her’s. I’ve […]

Holiday Detox Smoothie

I don’t know about you, but I definitely ate my share of heavy carbs, cheese, cookies & candy over the week of Christmas & New Year’s.  While it all tasted amazing, it left me feeling tired and overloaded from all of that heavy food and I needed something to detox from all that overindulgance.  When […]

Apple Whoopie Pies with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

As we venture into fall, which is my favorite time of year, apple and pumpkin flavors abound.  I wanted to make something to celebrate the start of fall and since Adam is not a big fan of pumpkin (I know, the horror!!) I decided to make something apple.  I have a DEEP love for whoopie […]

Whole Grain Strawberry Pop-Tart Scones

I love scones and I thought it would be a perfect thing to wake up to on Labor Day, especially since I made them the day before and didn’t have to get up early to make them!! I’m not an early riser on a regular day, let alone a holiday! 🙂 These were really delicious! […]

Watermelon Frosty

If you are looking for a way to beat the heat, this is the perfect remedy! Not only is this super refreshing but makes use of the juicy watermelons in season. I saw this mentioned on Money Saving Mom and just couldn’t resist especially since I had a plethora of watermelon that was going to […]

Chocolate PB Frozen Banana Bites

Hope you all had a great weekend! I don’t know about you, but I need a sweet treat pretty much every evening after dinner. I try to keep it on the lighter side with my latest obsession being popcorn with a little bit of mini chocolate chips stirred in. I do like to mix it […]

Peach Pie Milkshakes

I don’t know about where you live, but if you live anywhere near the south or midwest, it is Hot as Fire!! So hot you can’t even really go to the pool!! Cry!! All can do is stay in the air conditioning and sip on a cold drink and talk about how hot it is […]
