With a new apple tree in our yard, we will have a surplus of apples at the end of the season each year. Making pies is an easy way to use them up. Family recipes have a great way of being passed down through generations. With subtle changes made each time, the recipes are cherished [...]
Have you ever hit supper time and realized that you haven’t planned anything for dinner? As if the heavens were going to open up and miraculously, a meal was just going to drop on your counter and feed your family? Well, it happens to me occasionally. Okay, a lot. As we all know, life rarely [...]
I made this homemade chicken noodle soup yesterday and it was gobbled up by both of my girls. They also requested a bowl of soup as a snack which was pretty impressive considering they could choose from a variety of fruit we had on hand. Adding alphabet noodles in place of regular soup noodles makes [...]
Nanking cherries grow in colder climates and it is the closest thing we get to the sweet tasting cherries that you can buy in the store. A Nanking cherry is tart for pretty much its whole time on the tree. Right now, they are beginning to turn a dark red which is when they become [...]

We decided to do something fun for breakfast this morning and have two smoothies in one because one is awesome, but two? Two is just epic. Like most of my crazy recipe ideas, it was a lot of fun. Unlike most of my crazy recipe ideas, this one tasted amazing. Score. Not only that, but [...]
I’ve been down in Antigua since Sunday afternoon and last night I got a little homesick so I decided to throw together a version of my spaghetti with homemade sauce. I stopped by the local grocery store and grabbed everything I needed, and a bottle of wine and I was ready to go. Ingredients 1 [...]
My daughter and I were snacking on some Goldfish Pretzels last week when I asked her where she thought they would like to swim. “In chocolate?” was her response and this gave me an idea. After a trip to the grocery store, we decided to test her theory out with fudge. I mean, I would [...]
