You will never look at spaghetti sauce the same way again. I’ve been making this sauce for the past 5 years and I can attest to the fact that it’s the BEST meat sauce ever!! This meat sauce gets made at least every other week at our house. My youngest son...

THE BEST fluffy, moist banana cake topped with a thick, creamy and tangy cream cheese frosting! If you have a couple of ripe bananas laying on your counter, this easy but flavorful and delicious ‘from scratch’ snack cake is calling your name. 😉 Since getting married and doing my own grocery shopping, there’s two things that I have an obsession with buying. Bananas and potatoes. No explanation really, they just always happen to jump into the cart when I’m not...

Warm up with this mouthwatering, hearty and creamy ham and potato soup! It’s perfect for a busy weeknight, it’s made easy in one pot on the stove and it’s a great way to use up all your holiday ham leftovers. Ever since grocery pickup became a thing, I’ve been using it bi-weekly, if not weekly. So when I put a ham in my grocery cart, I couldn’t really pick a size so I was curious what I’d get. 9lbs!!! I...

These thick, soft Christmas Kitchen Sink cookies are loaded with chocolate, m&m’s, pretzels, and toffee bits and then topped with sea salt! Everyone went crazy for these sweet and salty treats. Have you heard of kitchen sink cookies before? It’s basically a cookie recipe that is filled with “everything but the kitchen sink”. Just go dig through your pantry and use up whatever sweet and salty mix-ins you have on hand, gently crush them up, add them to the dough...

The perfect party appetizer or main course that is loaded with flavor and made from simple ingredients you already have in your pantry.

Homemade Chicken and Dumplings is a hearty, creamy, and flavorful classic soup that I make all year round! It has fluffy homemade dumplings, tender chicken, carrots, herbs and cooked in a flavorful chicken soup! It’s completely made from scratch and can be on your table in less than 45 minutes. 😉 This is what I crave any time I feel like myself or someone in the family is coming down with something. A few weeks ago all three of the...

This dish is totally worthy of a spot on your holiday dinner table! Creamy, buttery, cheesy mashed potatoes, topped with crispy bacon, fresh chives and more cheese. No one will be able to pass up on these! I will never deny a potato. Mashed potatoes are usually served as a side dish but THIS loaded baked potato casserole, I’d be completely fine with just eating that. 😉 I would never judge you if you did the same! This amazing dish...

You can never go wrong with making a ham for any occasion really. If I host a dinner, I always go for the ham. My first Easter that I hosted my family, I didn’t cook the ham long enough and ran out of time. LOL! (We ate it at...

Christmas in a muffin! Not overly sweet so it’s completely fine to have these eggnog and deliciously nutmeg spiced muffins for breakfast. 😉 They’re perfectly soft, fluffy and moist with a cake donut texture and it’s basically like you’re eating eggnog. And they’re topped with a crunchy nutmeg flavored streusel! Our family’s favorite classic seasonal drink in muffin form! I have to admit, I never tried eggnog until after I got married, at my in-laws’, on our first Christmas together....
