Are you ready to fill your freezer with some yummy breads and doughs to make your life easier? I have some simple recipes that mostly use the same ingredients so you can spend a morning prepping all of them and then have a freezer full of bread ready to go! These freezer bread recipes are […]
If someone pinned me down and told me I had to say one food that was my favorite, I very well may say buttermilk biscuits. Once you get them right, they are very easy to make and you’ll never go back to pre-made or canned (never). These biscuits are light, buttery, and perfectly tender. A […]
Someone in my family recently asked for a trifle for their birthday. I asked what kind–there are so many! They thought about a Funfetti/birthday cake flavor, but they also really love Oreos. I googled around and couldn’t find anything quite like what they were looking for, so I decided to use my previous trifle experience […]
In the summer, I’m really into meals that don’t require a lot of time standing around. With a sheet pan meal, I can do other things while dinner is in the oven and don’t need to stay in the kitchen. This Italian chicken sheet pan dinner was a big hit with everyone in my family, and […]

Right now you’ll find watermelon on sale in every store! I’ve seen as low as $3.77 for seedless watermelon, so stock up and make some great treats. My crew is happy to eat it just as a good old fashion slice of fruit, but anytime you can get “fancy” and make watermelon into something else is a […]
