Hey friends! The reason you may not have seen me around as much on facebook & here on the blog last week & this week is because I was on a much needed vacation to Savannah & Hilton Head with Adam & some great friends of ours. It was a quick trip but it was so nice to get away. It's been a bit crazy and hectic since I've gotten back. It's so hard to get back in the swing of … Read More
Adam always goes in search of these Little Debbie snack cakes that they don't make any more. They are yellow cake with chocolate filling and he always says how those were his favorite. Well, he can never find them so he gets zebra cakes which he also loves. When I saw these homemade zebra cakes pop up in my google reader I knew they were just the thing to make for his birthday treat. We … Read More
I've mentioned on here several times of my love affair with Mexican food, well mostly tex-mex. It's my favorite thing to cook at home because I know what goes in it and I just love the flavors and variety and that you can switch things up so easily just with toppings. My friend recently made these crockpot chicken nachos and they were so creamy and comforting and hit me right in that … Read More
So I just noticed that my last 20 posts (ok so not that many, but a lot) have been desserts and sweet treats. I thought it was high time for something savory and what better than a crispy potato that you can dip in ketchup, ranch or any number of favorite condiments. I have to admit, I had to make these twice. One reason being they are so good, and the other being the first time I made them … Read More
So this may surprise you, but I had never made sweet tea before today. I know, I know how can I be a Southerner and not have made a batch of freshly brewed iced tea? Honestly, I like my tea dripping with sweetness....like it's from the deep South, ya'll (said with lots of twang and drawl;)) I don't like to think about how much sugar that must go into the tea to make it that sweet, so I just … Read More
Peanut Butter & Jelly, it's the perfect marriage! Savory & Sweet and you can use it in so many different ways: sandwiches, cookies, dessert bars, granola bars, pancakes, muffins, cupcakes, and so many others. I literally eat a pb&j sandwich almost every day. Now let me clarify, that I use natural peanut butter and jelly made with all natural fruit and whole wheat bread, so it's … Read More
I love making treats for Adam's coworkers. They are always so gracious, and it lets me bake lots of treats without having to keep them around to tempt me!:) This weekend I went in search of a fun breakfast item for him to take to his weekly Monday meeting. I was originally going to make brioche, but it took too long to rise, so I had the idea to try to find a recipe for monkey bread … Read More
So it's been unseasonably warm here in Tennessee lately. Like middle of May, get your swimsuit on and get a tan warm. Yes, I could seriously get a tan, but I popped in the kitchen to make this ice cream instead...priorities, right!?! So to celebrate this gorgeous weather, I thought what better way than to make some ice cream. I have wanted to make my own ice cream at home forever. I have … Read More
Before we get to the delicious cookies, I want to apologize for the technical problems with my blog over the weekend. I ran an update on my blog and it caused it to crash, with the help of my hosting service the blog got back online fairly quickly, but all of my comments had been lost. Thankfully after many prayers and time on the phone with my hosting service (which is Blue Host and they … Read More
I'm so excited to be sharing these PB&J Cookie bars over at Everyday Desserts! Thanks so much to Angelyn for inviting me over! These bars are SO addictive and delicious so I encourage you to hop over and check them out! … Read More
