It was feeling a little like fall last week - crisp mornings, a cool breeze and a chance to turn off the air conditioning. I took advantage of it to make a creamy ham and potato soup only to have summer temps and humidity come back with a vengeance. While I love summer, I'm looking… Continue reading Creamy Ham and Potato Soup
I've been looking for a new pot roast recipe and I think I found it! This was one delicious and it's made in a slow cooker, which makes it even better. While it's not a recipe where you just throw it all the slow cooker, the couple of steps before doing that make it all… Continue reading Beef and Mushroom Pot Roast
It's apple season and I'm so excited! I love all things apples - cider, baking with them and dipping them in caramel or peanut butter. Are you an apple lover too? We get cider from our local orchard and it's so good! The orchard is less than 10 miles from our house and it's packed… Continue reading Apple Cider Donut Cake

The theme is BANANA and if you've been following me, you know that I always have an issue with over-ripe bananas. My daughter enjoyed these scones and made a perfect after-school snack for her. She eats… Continue reading Banana Bread Scones

The crumble topping was delicious. I can't wait to try it with peaches before the… Continue reading Strawberry Blueberry Crumble
Who grew up eating pizzas made in a sandwich maker? This is the elevated version of them. We loved the crunchy crust with a gooey cheese and pepperoni filling. I can't wait to try making them with different fillings. They'd be great for lunches for my kids! 3/4 cup warm water 1 1/2 tsp active… Continue reading Pepperoni Pizza Waffles
Oh it was so good to be able to get into the kitchen and do a little baking this week. I find baking so relaxing ... do you? This week, my son's school is having a back to school staff appreciation luncheon and were asking for dessert donations. I'm always up for baking a sweet… Continue reading Salted Brown Sugar Toffee Cookies
It was finally cool enough to do some baking over the weekend. Is the end of summer here? I've been in the mood for something with cheesecake and wanted to make something that was bite-sized. You know...trying to eat healthy! I figured if I made them mini, I would only be tempted to eat one… Continue reading Blueberry Cheesecake Cookie Cups
