Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
This month is national ice cream month and I knew I had to make ice cream. I love ice cream, but it doesn't love me back. I know...it's not fair! I was browsing through the July/August Eating Well Magazine and came across this easy recipe for ice cream pie. It gave a master recipe and… Continue reading Double Berry Ice Cream Pie
We've been doing a lot of grilling lately...the weather has been perfect and most of the time my husband mans the grill. But this time, I took over to make these beef skewers. I was offered the opportunity to review a few products from Gourmet Warehouse. I had never heard of the company before, but… Continue reading Cherry Jalapeno Beef Skewers
I'm always looking for different type of salads to bring to picnics and parties. I wanted to try this one because it was different and not something I've made before. I wasn't 100% sold on it, it's really tangy from the Dijon and balsamic vinegar. It was good, but not sure I would make it… Continue reading Dijon Balsamic Orzo Salad
As you know, cookie recipes are pretty common around here. When I was looking for recipes to review as part of a new cookbook group I joined, I saw this recipe for lemon thins. I liked that they were simple and I had to only pick up a lemon at the store when I went… Continue reading Lemon Thins

These pancakes are very similar to buttermilk pancakes, but instead of using cold buttermilk, you make a warm milk-butter mixture.The texture of these pancakes were really good and while they weren't… Continue reading The Ultimate Puffy Pancakes

I knew I… Continue reading Madeleines – The Secret Recipe Club
Scones come in a close second to muffins for me. There's something about the cream, butter, and texture that I can't pass up....now add in fresh blackberries and a little lemon. Mouthwatering, right? These scones are perfect to enjoy with your cup of coffee or tea for breakfast or for a little afternoon snack. I… Continue reading Mini Blackberry Cream Scones
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend! We have a busy weekend and hosted a family party on July 4th. It was small but it was fun to get together with our family and enjoy the weather. I was worried the weather wasn't going to be great, but by noon, the weather changed and… Continue reading Skinny Peanut Butter Banana Muffins
I'm excited to share this recipe for July's Fill the Cookie Jar Facebook group! This month's theme was patriotic. I didn't want to go with a red,white, blue theme, so I thought more about what exactly patriotism meant. I did a little research to find out what others things they felt were patriotic - answers… Continue reading Apple Pie Cookies – #FilltheCookieJar
We've been grilling several times a week for the last 2 months and I love it! It's so much easier to let my husband grill, while the kids play outside and I take care of the rest of the dinner. This was the first time we made ribs and they turned out great. I usually… Continue reading Easy Grilled Baby Back Ribs
