    So, what are you eating this holiday season? (No, no…don’t start feeling guilty. This is not your conscience speaking.) Really, though, are you cooking for Christmas?

  • Soup Season

    Soup Season

    Do you love this cold weather?I do – and soup is one of the reasons I love it. You know, you can eat soup on hot days. It still tastes good. But it doesn’t taste as good as if you ate it on a cold, blustery day. Here are 3 of my favorite soup recipes: Corn…

      As I promised during my Christmas Home Tour, today I will share my most favorite Christmas cookie recipe E.V.E.R. I’ve been trying to remember exactly when I discovered this recipe.

    Hey! I have a great idea for you! Go have a baby, wait 2 1/2 weeks, then sign up to bring 5 dozen rolls for a big family dinner, then get this insane idea to make the rolls from scratch, then look for a recipe… one you’ve never tried, one that doesn’t have many ratings……

    Hellooooooo pumpkin season!

    I love fall. I am so glad it is FINALLY fall here and it’s even getting colder here in North Carolina. LOVE that. There’s no way I can narrow my list down to my favorite thing about fall, but the scents of fall come pretty close to the top of the list. All those warm, yummy…

    Brownie-Cookie Bars

    I think I’ve mentioned before that my hubby is a youth pastor? Last week we had the kick-off for our Wednesday night youth group. We had planned to have individual bags of chips for a snack.

    Growing up, my Mom made homemade bread. One of my favorite things was when she made cinnamon swirl bread and topped it with a marvelous powdered sugar glaze. Of course, if there was any extra glaze, I always made sure to pile it on more than just the top. Amaaaaazing. This summer, when I was…
