Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
What do you do when your kitchen counters are being overtaken with cucumbers? You make cucumber salad! Growing up, my mom would always buy cucumber salad from a local supermarket and I haven’t been able to find a recipe that was close to that – until now! This recipe is very quick and easy. It… Continue reading Cucumber Salad
Summertime here in our house means fresh corn on the cob and we've been enjoying it for the last couple of weeks. My kids don't like eating it off the cob so I was looking for something different to make with the last dozen I bought. I scoured Pinterest and found a recipe for elote… Continue reading Elote Corn Salad
We didn't plan a vacation this year, so I've decided I need to make something that reminds me of the tropics. Though, the weather we've been experiencing in PA has been quite tropical - lots of days of temps in the 90s and high humidity. We've been spending a lot of time in our pool… Continue reading Pineapple Quick Bread
I'm a big fan of smoothie bowls and decided to whip one up for breakfast this morning. I usually don't eat breakfast as I do intermittent fasting, but was in the mood for a little something this morning. Smoothie bowls can be made so many ways and use whatever fruit you have available. My bowl… Continue reading Cherry Berry Smoothie Bowl
Many years ago I made biscotti all the time and it's been awhile since I made a batch. I figured now is the time to get back to some of my favorite things to bake and new recipes to try. Biscotti is a twice baked cookie that is meant to be dipped in coffee, tea,… Continue reading Chocolate Pecan Biscotti

It makes the perfect amount for two dinners plus lunch for my family. I also love that I can throw it into… Continue reading Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
As you know, I love making muffins. I don't know how many muffin recipes I have on the blog, but it's probably pushing 50. Banana muffins are probably one of the most popular type of muffins I make. It's probably because my kids always want bananas, but then never end up eating them and then… Continue reading Banana Nut Muffins
For some reason, I had three bags of frozen hashbrowns in my freezer and it was time to find a recipe to start using them. I've been waiting to make a hashbrown casserole and now seemed to be the perfect time. This week, the weather has been perfect - almost fall like - and I… Continue reading Cheesy Hashbrown Casserole
Yesterday was my son's eighth birthday and he requested mint chocolate chip cupcakes. The only issue - he doesn't like chocolate cake. His favorite flavor is vanilla. I decided to spoil him - he is my baby after all - and figure out a way to give him what he wanted. I made a vanilla… Continue reading Mint Chocolate Chip Cupcakes
I was in the mood for cheesecake and thought it would be the perfect time to give this recipe for blueberry cheesecakes a try. I also had 2 pints of blueberries my kids didn't eat, so there was that too. 🙂 These are great to make ahead of time, grab and go. These jars are… Continue reading No Bake Blueberry Cheesecake Jars
