Soft and Chewy Gingerbread Cookies

‘Tis the season for baking! I absolutely, positively love the warm spices, the candy, the cakes, the cranberries, you name it, that Christmas brings. I’ll eat ’em all! One of the quintessential holiday sweets has to be gingerbread cookies! However, my husband requested that I make a gingerbread that is soft and chewy. So, I […]

Chicken Noodle Soup

Chicken noodle soup is the cure-all for every mood. Are you cold? Eat chicken noodle soup. Are you sick? Chicken noodle soup. Going through a break-up? Girl, get ya a man to make you this chicken noodle soup. See, it cures everything. I’m totally kidding. But I can only imagine that this hearty, creamy chicken […]

Buttermilk Blueberry Muffins

Y’all, I have a confession to make: I still have a freezer full of fruit that I picked over the summer. TONS of fruit. Blueberries. Blackberries. Apples. Fruit overload. In an attempt to try to lessen the amount of crap I have in my refrigerator, I thought I better use up some of the fruit […]

Cast Iron Skillet Cornbread

Cornbread is one of those types of breads that I associate with the colder months that are filled with soups and chili and all things hearty. There are a million different cornbread recipes and some people like it sweet, while others prefer their cornbread savory. This recipe is definitely a savory version, but I have […]

Hamburger Soup

This time of year is kind of blah in the PNW. The time has changed and feels like it is midnight at 4:30 pm. It is gloomy and rainy all day long. And, it is cold. Because of this kind of weather, my heart (and tummy) craaaave soup. Gimme all of the soups! I love […]

Tres Leches Cake

Tres leches cake, which translates to “three milks” cake, is one of my favorite cakes to make. It is also one of my favorite cakes to eat. While meal prepping before Aric returned from his deployment, I just K N E W I had to make this naughty thing. If you were to ask him, […]

Croissant French Toast

My husband’s all-time favorite breakfast food is French toast. Sometimes, I find that French toast can get boring and kind of, well, soggy. So, I decided to try and mash up two French items together. Croissants and French toast? Seems like a no-brainer to me. It turned out better than expected and I may not […]

Slower Cooker Beef and Broccoli

It’s fall, which means it’s officially Crockpot season. I’ll be honest, I do not use the slower cooker too often though I probably should more since it is so easy! I always find myself not prepping adequately by not starting the dang thing in enough time. But when I do plan accordingly, this is one […]

Chocolate Chess Pie

Y’all, I have a confession to make: I love pie. I could eat pie every single day for breakfast. However, I feel like I don’t get to eat pie as much as I would like to, as it is typically a “holiday dessert.” While this delectably fudgy pie is one of my staples to break […]

Garlic Parmesan Rice

A classic rice dish that is perfect for any occasion, garlic parmesan rice is sure to be a hit at your house, just as it is at ours. My kids call this “cheesy rice,” which is certainly is. Cheesy. Creamy. Garlicky. Perfect. Unless you are dieting, in which case, I’m sorry. Ingredients 3 tablespoons butter […]
