Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
Once again, I found myself with almost a full bunch of bananas that were on their way to being overripe. I should learn that when my kids ask for bananas, they only want 1 or 2 and not to buy a bunch, since they never eat them all. I decided to wipe up a loaf… Continue reading Ricotta Banana Bread
This month the theme for the blogging group, Fill the Cookie Jar, is healthy or a cookie/bar that makes you think of a fresh start.

These cookies are made with only four ingredients and take… Continue reading Healthy Peanut Butter Cookies – #FilltheCookieJar
I know the beginning of the year is usually a fresh start for everyone - me included - that's why I made this last year. I've had this recipe saved for two years and I finally made it and it was delicious!

Cranberries are one of those things that I go overboard on in the winter and then rarely use them the rest of the year - except that's going to change with this recipe for cranberry bbq sauce! It's tangy and a little sweet, but the perfect addition to grilled chicken or to smear on a grilled turkey… Continue reading Cranberry BBQ Sauce
This recipe is one I had saved for years and I finally had a chance to make it and I'm kicking myself for not making it sooner.

I love Twix bars and this totally reminded me of them...though better since I accidentally browned the butter while making caramel. It really amp'd up the flavor and… Continue reading Caramel Chocolate Shortbread
Another delicious recipe made in my Instant Pot! I'm really enjoying the ability to make inexpensive cuts of beef taste like they've been cooking all day long in such a short amount of time. This was a big hit with everyone in my family including my 4 year old who is currently being super picky!… Continue reading Instant Pot Beef Stroganoff
I'm excited to share a recipe I created for the Simply Sesame Blogger Recipe Challenge! As part of the challenge, I received three flavors of Simply Sesame to try: Vanilla with Almond Bits, Pistachio Morsels with a hint of Cardamom and Pure Roasted Sesame. I immediately knew I wanted to make experiment and make a recipe… Continue reading Chewy Almond Vanilla Bars – Simple Sesame Blogger Challenge
I'm working on using my Instant Pot more often and I've already made several recipes in the last couple days. This recipe for Honey Bourbon Chicken was one of them and it was delicious! Throw all the ingredients into the IP, turn it on and let it do its thing. I served it with a… Continue reading Honey Bourbon Chicken
I love all things with sweet potato and this recipe is no exception! I make it for Thanksgiving since it's a such a treat, but it would be great for any dinner party. This is definitely a recipe that is an indulgence, but it's so worth it. The sweet potatoes are creamy and the topping… Continue reading Sweet Potato Souffle
