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…
Motor Home on a Ferry
Today we’re going back to the summer of 2006. Our big trip in 2004 took us to the northeast so this time we went to the great northwest and western Canada. This was the last trip when I wasn’t the shortest person in the house. This was our second trip to Canada, the last trip being…

Red, White & Blue M&M Cookies
Remember the jingle “Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet?” I propose a new one: “Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and cookies!” And by cookies, I mean these festive and delicious red, white and blue cookies. Warm chocolate cookies are number one on my list of favorite treats. For me, there is nothing like it. …
Juicy Burgers
Growing up, grilled hamburgers were the quintessential BBQ food. Every pool party served them. When our boys were knee-deep in sports, burgers were the team party food. I think just about everyone has at least one summer memory that has a burger somewhere in the mind. We were pretty lazy regarding our patties. The giant…
Deb’s Summer Broccoli Salad
