I’m sure everyone has that one holiday dessert that is made every year without fail and is still the favorite every year. For me it’s these cookie bars. They’ve been on the dessert tray as long as I can remember. My Aunt Nancy is a dessert maven and almost all of her desserts involve chocolate. …

Christmas Morning Blueberry French Toast
Christmas morning is magical. Even though our boys are grown, I still see them as little boys with every present they open. I don’t think that will ever change. When we lived in California our Christmas mornings were hectic. Hurry to open gifts, hurry to one house then hurry to another. All this hurrying was…
Yummy Gingerbread Bars
Gingerbread cookies are a big hit in our house, although I don’t make them as often as I should. If you love gingerbread men but not the time it takes to make and decorate them, then you’re in for a treat today. This recipe from The Girl Who Ate Everything is the perfect substitute and…
Snickerdoodles!
Big news in our house. We have a daughter in law! Our younger son Kevin married his sweetheart. It was a beautiful day; they planned a perfect wedding and reception. The night before, we hosted the rehearsal dinner at our house. From the time we knew he was going to propose, we were thinking about…
Aunt Petti’s Cornbread
I just love old family recipes. They are tried and true and make great memories come to mind every time I make them. This one reminds me of Thanksgiving. Mark’s Aunt Petti did Thanksgiving for the family. Sometimes 40 people; her door was always open. My first Thanksgiving at her house was as a 19-year-old…
Easy Cake Mix Cookies
I love cookies anytime, and I really do mean anytime. So much so that it’s completely normal for me to bake a batch or two before we go on a trip. Weekends may just be brownies or a cobbler, but anything longer than that calls for cookies. Bonus if they can be hidden in the…
Easy & Healthy Tilapia
Our quest for eating healthy this year continues. If only chocolate chip cookies were good for you. Sigh. Mark has another triathlon on the horizon and his training is going to be ramping up soon so we really need to get our nutrition in order. No half marathons for me this winter, just a bunch…
Mini Jello Parfaits
Watch it wiggle, see it jiggle, it’s Jello brand gelatin. Jello is such a fun and easy dessert. Fancy Jello desserts make their appearance every year during the holidays but they are sometimes forgotten the rest of the year in our house. If you’re looking to get your kids involved in the kitchen, making Jello…
Balsamic Chicken
My friend Tracy sent me this delicious recipe a couple of years ago. We had it several times and then, like far too many recipes, it fell off of our radar. It shouldn’t have because not only is it really good, it’s also really easy. I had this great coupon for red potatoes and this…
Caprese Sandwich
I can’t believe our Italy trip was almost five years ago. It was such a great trip. And the food! I could go on and on for days about the fabulous food we had. One thing we fell in love with was the Caprese Salad. We had it with dinner on our first night in…
