Playing in the Kitchen With Triple Berry Pie
{affiliate links included} Pie inspiration and pie dough play! I thoroughly enjoyed creating this pie. BECAUSE….just plain fun and pretty! A bit back, I’d found a beautiful account on Instagram with beautiful food and pie. When I saw her pies topped with beautiful cut-outs and draped with lattice and leaves, I knew I wanted […]
Because Cake
My tiny children turned into teenagers this year. Granted, they haven’t been tiny children for several years now. But as parents are wont to do, we’re convinced those little people really can’t have morphed into growing-up already!! We celebrated this teenage thing last weekend with a birthday party for them both. I have pictures to […]
Dill Ranch Pretzels
This is a quick salty snack, if you HAPPEN to be looking for a quick salty snack. It’s not just a quick, salty snack, but a tasty, salty snack that is quick. I find them tasty anyway. And quick. And most definitely salty. If you don’t care for ranch flavor or dill flavor or […]
Pictures of Pie, Oh My!
Pretty pictures of pie. That’s all it’s about today! When I made pie for Thanksgiving, I took lots of pictures and had so much fun doing it! Thus, today I’m simply sharing them for all beauty lovers and pie lovers and people who just like to look at pictures! Pretty pictures are one of […]
Good Rice
Good Rice. That’s the name of this recipe. Because…. it’s good. It is. And so simple!! The only unfortunate thing is that while my man loves this recipe and eats it heartily, neither one of my kiddos are particularly fond of rice. They may like it someday. They both eat lots of foods they […]
Citrus Punch
Would you like an easy-peasy, nice and squeezy Citrus Punch recipe for Christmastime? This drink is super simple and super pretty! We’ve made it off and on over the years. It’s really hardly qualified to put into a recipe format, but I will so you can print it right out if you’d like! PrintCitrus Punch […]
Pretty Pictures and Pear Cider
I came across this idea for a hot fall drink with a bit of a different twist. It was in a Martha Stewart magazine and I thought it sounded easy and fun to try. I changed it up a bit, but I really liked it. I am not fond of pears. I think it […]
We Make Cut-Out Cookies {And Recipe}
When my kiddos were small, making cut out cookies was something we did a couple of times a year. They enjoyed it. They’d pitch in and help and then get ready to go off to play before all the cookies were iced and I would finish a lot of them myself. I didn’t mind, because […]
Acorn Cookies
Aren’t these the yummiest acorns you-done-did-ever-see-in-all-your-born-days? I thought so!!! I tore the magazine page out of my All You magazine containing pictures and ideas for this tasty treat.

Stuffed Pork Chops
This is a simple and yummy recipe. It’s a have-the-oven-on and enjoy-the-aroma type of recipe and goes well with fall weather! My Mother made these when I was growing up. Two of my aunts also made them and at least one of them would make them for her family’s Christmas dinner. When we got […]
Gourmet Chocolate Chip Cookies
These cookies are a fun chocolate-chip variation. And they have a LOT of chocolate in them. Perfect for fallish type weather approaching. Cooler days and chilly evenings make the heat of the oven and the smell of fresh baked cookies sound oh-so-delishio! They have chocolate chips in them AND they have grated chocolate. Thus, Gourmet […]
My Pie Crust
It’s Pie crust day! Or post pie-crust-recipe-day anyway! One big reason to add this is because I have a three-ring binder that contains all the recipes I’ve posted on my blog. I print them out and stick them in it. They are my well-used, often-used, go-to, loved, favorite or family recipes. My pie crust recipe isn’t […]
Homemade Salsa
I had a friend asking me about my salsa recipe. It’s one I have planned on adding here sometime. I needed to rewrite it with the changes and tweaks I’ve done and it struck me that it would be almost as quick to simply add it here. Then it would be here and she could […]
Corned Beef Cheeseball
Cheeseball. It’s just a yummy snack. It intrigues me how cream cheese can be so tasty as a salty type snack and so delicious in a sweet recipe. It’s all about what you add to it! We tend to fix cheeseball around the holidays, it seems. But, I also fix it some in the summer […]
