Easy, Best Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

Do you want to hear a secret? When we have leftover frosting in our house, we stick it in the freezer. Random people (okay, fine...husband and I) are known to grab a spoon and occasionally grab a spoonful of delicious, frozen sweetness. Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting might be hanging around in my freezer right now. This frosting is easy to... Read More

Andes Mint Muddy Buddies, aka: Andes Mint Puppy Chow

The endless debate! Is is mint chocolate muddy buddies? Or mint chocolate puppy chow? I grew up calling it puppy chow...but I found out that- technically, according to the stuff sold in stores- it's called muddy buddies. Whatever you call it, it's delicious. I love muddy buddies. And I love mint. So I combined them! This is easy to make... Read More

Spicy Chicken Corn Soup

Looking for a spicy, delicious soup that is very easy to make? If so, you have to try Spicy Chicken Corn Soup. Chicken, corn, tomato, and a delicious blend of spices make a filling, comforting soup.

Southern Sweet Potato Casserole

Sweet Potato Casserole is my absolutely favorite side dish in the world. That's probably because it's more of a dessert than a side dish. But it's always served as a side (at least at dinners I've attended). We've got sweet potatoes whipped with sugar, butter, and vanilla. They're covered with buttery, sugary, crunchy pecan topping and baked to perfection. I... Read More

Pesto Ravioli with Chicken: Amazingly Easy

The basic version of Pesto Ravioli has been in my cookbook so long I'm not even sure where it came from. A quick internet search brought up the likely source: Betty Crocker. As always, I took some slight liberties...but not many. This recipe is fabulous not just because it tastes great, but because it's easy. Amazingly easy. It's a great... Read More

Grasshopper Mint Chocolate Bark

I love mint. Mere words can not describe how much. My husband hates it. Hence me having a "Saint Patrick's Day & Mint" section on my website...with no mint recipes. But this year I am remedying that. This is just the first of a few mint recipes. And Grasshopper Mint Chocolate Bark was a great place to start. The mint... Read More

Homemade Italian Salad Dressing Mix

This Homemade Italian Salad Dressing Mix is very versatile. I use it both to make homemade dressing as well as in "Ridiculously Easy Italian Chicken." (I named it that because it's so easy I feel a little guilty making it). I'm going to be upfront though. This is NOT a copycat version of Good Seasons Italian Salad Dressing Mix. I... Read More

Ridiculously Easy Italian Chicken

This Italian chicken is so easy to make that I feel a little guilty making it. In fact, I almost didn't even try the concept when I ran across it. I thought "3 ingredients? You have to be kidding me!". But I needed a new recipe that used my homemade Italian dressing seasoning, so I figured I would give it... Read More

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup: Best Soup You’ll Ever Eat

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup is absolutely, 100% the best non-dessert recipe in my cookbook. If it weren’t for the calories, I would live off of this. Seriously. And if I’m too lazy to heat it up, it tastes good cold. (Yes, I am that lazy on occasion). Every single time I have made it for company or for an event... Read More
