Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

I've been wanting to take a tasty treat to my bible study for a while now, but my schedule has been busy and I haven't gotten around to it. This week I decided I would make sure that I fit it in. They have been such a blessing to me and I thought they deserved something delicious. I wanted a cookie or something everyone could grab, and I came across these cookies when reading my Real Simple … Read More

Fresh Cranberry & Apple Crunch

It's that time of year again to start planning your Thanksgiving menus. Here's mine from last year. I will also be updating the sidebar this week with some Turkey Day favorites for you to check out. This is a great Thanksgiving dessert to accompany the traditional pumpkin and pecan pies. I actually made this last year for Thanksgiving and everyone liked it so much, my mom asked me to make it … Read More

Pasta with Pumpkin Cream Sauce

Ever since our honeymoon I have wanted to try and replicate one of the best dishes we have ever eaten. We had a pasta in a pumpkin cream sauce that was just out of this world. It wasn't too pumpkin-y but had just a nice rounded out flavor. So I went in search and found this recipe on the Washington Post. This pasta was really good. Like an alfredo with a hint of pumpkin. While it didn't taste … Read More

Classic Pot Roast

I have been wanting to try making pot roast for a while. I love this comforting dish so much, but realized recently that I had never made it. My mom's and mother-in-law's recipes are so delicious, but I wanted to try something different and more from scratch. So, I turned to allrecipes.com and made it mostly from this recipe, and added a couple of ideas from this recipe I found on … Read More

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bundt Cake

As soon as I saw this cake on Two Peas & Their Pod, I immediately knew I wanted to make it as soon as possible. I like pumpkin, but I'm not totally in love with it all the time but I do absolutely love the pumpkin chocolate combination. This cake was fantastic. So rich and delicious and fall like. My husband, who does not like pumpkin, even liked it. This got eaten up so quickly by our … Read More

Texas BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

I have seen these floating around the blogsphere for a while. I remembered seeing them on one my favorite blogs, Delicious Melicious and thought they sounded like a great, easy weeknight meal. These were so flavorful and super easy and quick to make. I love that all of the ingredients are things that I always keep on hand, so that's another plus! These were so great! I don't have a quesadilla … Read More

Cinnamon Apple Streusel Bars

I had bought a bag of apples on sale and needed to use them up and found this recipe in one of my cookbooks. I always look through this cookbook, but I've never made anything out of it. I am so bad about that. I love to read cookbooks so I have several, but I get most of my recipes off of the internet or from my family, haha! I decided that I was going to make these and send them with Adam to … Read More

How Does It Look?

I don't know about you, but I love makeover shows. Whether it's home or fashion I just love seeing things totally transformed into something new. I'm a sucker for all of those shows like What Not To Wear, Clean House, How Do I Look and Designed to Sell. So, in keeping with my love for all of these, I thought it was about time for my blog to get a makeover. For those of you that view this … Read More

Chicken, Mushroom & Parmesan with Orzo

I spotted this recipe at For the Love of Cooking a while back and thought it sounded like a great weeknight meal. I've had this on my menu for the past two weeks and haven't gotten around to making it until now (I even let one package of mushrooms go bad-yikes!) So this week I was determined to make it and not let my second pacakge of mushrooms expire. This was so hearty and comforting but … Read More

White Tomato Pizza

A local restaurant where we live has the best white tomato pizza (it's Dovino's in case you live near me and want to try it). Adam & I both love it, especially because it's not as heavy as other pizzas, although we do love their special which has all kinds of meats:)! When I was thinking about what kind of pizza to have on the whole wheat crust I made, I originally thought I … Read More
