Last summer my mom and her friend did a whole day of canning jams and jellies and she brought me the best blueberry jam! Ever since I've been wanting to try making jam for myself, but I don't have a pressure cooker or special canning equipment. Then I came back across this recipe I had torn out of a magazine last summer and it required no special equipment. I went out and bought some … Read More

I've been wanting to utilize our grill for more than just chicken and burgers for a while now and I remembered seeing Ina Garten grill pizza on one of her Barefoot Contessa episodes and I knew immediately that was the thing to try. I also thought it would be fun to try more of a flatbread crust to make individual sized pizzas instead of regular pizza dough and it worked great! The flatbread … Read More
With the Fourth of July coming up, I thought I would share an easy and crowd pleasing side dish/dessert that you can throw together at the last minute. My mom has been making this fruit salad for years and years and it always gets gobbled up in a hurry. The secret ingredient is pudding mix, which seems like an odd addition, but trust me it creates a lovely glaze that compliments the fruit … Read More
A month or so ago, we had a social during our Sunday School class and everyone brought a breakfast item. My friend Courtney brought this blueberry breakfast cake and I just couldn't get enough of it! She was so sweet to send me home with some and I asked her for the recipe. She pointed me to her pinterest board and turns out I had already pinned it! I can't believe I'm just now getting … Read More
Ever since I had agua fresca in a taco shop when we went to San Francisco a couple of years ago, I've been wanting to replicate it at home and it's the perfect time to do it with all the fresh fruit in season! And in case you were wondering, Agua Fresca is spanish for "fresh waters." This drink is light & refreshing and not super sweet, and you can customize it to your taste with whatever … Read More
I have professed my love for stovetop macaroni & cheese many times in the past. It's my favorite way to eat mac & cheese. Shockingly, I realized I had never even tried making a baked version of mac & cheese before, and I thought it was high time! This was AMAZING!! It was kind of a lot of work, and required lots of attention and stirring on the front end, but TOTALLY worth it! … Read More
A co-worker of mine sadly has left us and is moving on to another job, and we threw her a going away party, so naturally I had to sign up to bring a dessert! I wanted to do something a little different and then I found this gem of a cake! This maybe wasn't the best decision for a super hot day because you have to stand over a boiling pot twice, but it was totally worth it!! This cake was … Read More
This was one of my favorite dishes my mom made growing up! It is such a great side dish and is perfect for a potluck or cookout. I used fresh potatoes, but you can certainly sub with frozen hash browns and save some time. This dish does call for cream of chicken soup, but I used some homemade cream of mushroom that I had on hand. It's super easy to make from scratch and then you can keep it … Read More
Before I get to our Epcot adventures, let me back up a bit. After the amazing conference and meeting such wonderful bloggers, Adam & I went and had appetizers at Citricos at the Grand Floridian. We had eaten there once before and it was equally incredible this time. We shared the arancini (risotto balls) and then short ribs. They were both mouthwateringly delicious! So full of flavor … Read More
