This is really easy to toss together for your next pot luck or side dish and can be made ahead of time. My mother in law made this for Christmas dinner and it was a big hit with my hubby. You can change up the corn and use whatever type you like. Corn Salad (Adapted...
Take-Out, Fake-Out: Beef & Broccoli
This is one of those dishes I’m going to prep in a baggie so all my hubby has to do is dump in a crock pot once the baby comes. The only change I would make is of course add some seasoning like the dried red peppers. The meat comes out really tender and the sauce has...
Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
I’ve had a huge request for this recipe after making these little gems. You wouldn’t guess there’s pumpkin in these cookies unless someone told you. They are super easy to make and taste really good. Pumpkin Snickerdoodles (Adapted from Baked Perfection) makes...
Honey Walnut Butter

I love easy meals and you can’t get any easier then this. I did like the flavor of the dish when you ate a bite of each ingredient altogether, but it seemed like it was missing something. It needed some seasoning for sure and I think maybe adding a little heavy cream...
Spicy New Orleans Barbeque Shrimp
We love any kind of shrimp dish, but this one was a little different. I don’t know if it was something strange with the sauce, or the fact we grilled it instead of cooking it in a casserole dish. While still ok, I don’t think I will be making this recipe again. Also,...
Pumpkin Pie Granola (Nut Free)
Keeping with the Fall flavors I made a batch of this granola and it’s super easy, I really liked the flavor of how it came out too. I had to bake mine longer to get it to dry out, but that’s all depending on your oven and the weather. Pumpkin Pie Granola (Nut Free)...
Caesar Salad without the egg
Being pregnant I’ve had to learn to really adjust my diet and take a closer look at things whereas before I didn’t think twice about it. I love Caesar salad’s, but many of them are made with raw egg which I can’t have right now. If eating out I don’t trust restaurants...

Lemon-Lime Sugar Cookie Truffles
I love having citrus flavors in desserts, it seems to cut some of the sweetness. Here’s a really easy recipe if you are looking for a different kind of dessert to serve this Christmas. You can use any color sprinkles you want, I used green and yellow for the lemon and...
