I’m working on updating the look around here…we’ll see what happens and if I end up with what I want or if I decide to try something else or if I just go back to what I had! There are several things I really like about this new theme, but there are features that my […]
Sugar Cookie Squares
IF you HAD to choose, what category would be your favorite? Cakes? Cookies? Pies? Who am I kidding? Or making choose? I don’t know if I could choose myself, even if I HAD to. Different desserts sound good at different times. And there are a plethora of things that play into what “sounds good”. What […]
Red Raspberry Pie
“Mom, why have we never made this kind of pie before?!” This was my daughter’s enthusiastic question when she tried her first bite. Well, dearie…..basically, because we don’t have red raspberry plants and raspberries are pricey and I’ve been the main raspberry lover in our household until the last while, when my kiddos have realized […]
Snickerdoodles
Are you a cookie lover? I am. I am a cookie lover through and through. I am particular about cookies. They have to be just the right amount of softness and freshness and chewiness. A too hard cookie or too old cookie is simply a disgrace and not at all equal. Now cookies fresh out […]

Snicker’s Ice Cream Pie
Temperatures over a hundred degrees and ice cream desserts. Makes a pretty good combination, I’d say. If we’re going to have the first one, we might as well have the second to go with it! Let’s hear it for some Snickers Ice cream pie! PrintSnicker’s Ice Cream Pie Ingredients1 graham cracker crust 1 gallon vanilla […]
Rhubarb Surprise Pie
Here’s another rhubarb recipe from my husband’s side of the family. This pie disappears at our house, almost as quickly as fresh strawberry pie does. Almost. It is super easy. Hardest part is having a pie crust ready to use and chopping up your rhubarb! When Mom brought us some rhubarb a couple of weeks […]
Rhubarb Jello
I have a rhubarb recipe to share this week. I got it from my mother-in-law. She fixes it every rhubarb season…at least as long as I’ve been around. And I’m pretty sure she fixed it when my husband was a boy at home. He loves it and I’ve noticed that some of his favorite foods […]
Glazed Cherry Squares
I did some cooking and baking this week and I was flipping through a few cookbooks and recipes when I landed on this recipe. It is a favorite and I had not made it for a long time. So, I whipped up a batch. They are pretty and they are tasty and they are also […]
Butterhorn Rolls
This is one of our favorite recipes! It’s really hard to beat fresh, hot, buttery butterhorns! I’m hungry right now, so they sound really yummy! I enjoy making them and eating them. My children, quite literally, gobble them up. Fresh bread is definitely a favorite! PrintButterhorn Rolls 24 butterhorns Ingredients1 T. yeast 2 T. warm […]
Best Blueberry Pie
Apple pie seems to stand for Americana and I like apple pie, but I’m also a fan of this blueberry pie! My mother made both when I was growing up and I loved them then and love them now! Do you have a favorite pie recipe? PrintBest Blueberry Pie Ingredients4 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen […]
Seasoned Potatoes
This is a yummy and simple potato recipe. It takes a little prep and a little planning ahead so it has time to bake. I’ve also microwaved the potatoes, but I like to just stick them in the oven to bake away! This is one of those to-taste recipes. There aren’t amounts for the seasonings. […]
Summertime Strawberry Pie
I came across a good deal on strawberries, so I snagged several and made some strawberry jam and strawberry pie this week! I thought strawberry pie would make a good addition to the recipes I’ve shared. PrintSummertime Strawberry Pie Ingredients1 cup sugar 3 T. cornstarch pinch of salt 1 cup boiling water 2 T. butter […]
Banana Bread
We had overripe bananas lurking around our kitchen this week. So, I whipped out a trusty and easy recipe we’ve used for quite a while now. Good ole banana bread. My daughter stirred it up one day after lunch, while I worked on the dirty dishes. It is truly easy-peasy! I don’t like banana bread, […]

Garlic Breadsticks
I love finding recipes that my family gobbles up! These breadsticks are so, so yummy! There’s lots of butter involved, so you really can’t go wrong. Last year, when we were in the midst of working on our house and painting and moving, my friend brought us cheesy spaghetti, these breadsticks, and brownies for our supper […]
