Hi Everyone! Last weekend for Mother’s Day, Little Jenny and I went cherry picking and we came home with 6lbs of yummy, juicy, cherries. I love cherries, but I had no idea what to make with them. On Mother’s Day my Husband asked if I could make the Blueberry Coffee Cake but with Cherries instead. I thought, [...]
Hi Everyone, May is National Celiac Awareness Month and I teamed up with Udi’s Gluten Free to help raise awareness of Celiac Disease. As you know from my recipes, I am not allergic to gluten, but I do try to make some recipes that are gluten-free for those who may have Celiac Disease. If you don’t know Celiac Disease is an [...]

Hi Everyone and Happy Sunday to you! Today for #SundaySupper we are to bring a slow cooked meal to the table. For me, I originally wanted to get a smoker and slow cook some beef brisket, but that wasn’t happening for me. So when else fails, I pulled out my handy dandy Crockpot and made [...]
Hi Everyone, I am so excited for today’s recipe. For the first time ever, I made ice cream that didn’t turn out hard as a rock! Ok, you have no idea how proud I am, plus I think the ingredients are semi-healthy except for the whipping cream, but the rest is all good! Plus [...]

Hello, hello! I’m going to be up front and honest with you. I thought today’s recipe was going to be a flop. I made a healthy, good for you quick bread that went kind of flat. The bread felt kind of heavy too! I thought, oh man, I made dense bread that going to taste [...]
Hello! Yah, yah! Today’s recipe should go with my Cinco de Mayo week, but in my opinion I could soooooooo eat Mexican everyday, and honestly I don’t think I need a reason to bring on another Mexican dish.

Hi Everyone, One thing I have fallen in love with this past year is avocados. I love them! I put them on everything! But, the one thing I don’t care for is the calories they have. I can so easily eat a half an avocado, but it’s like a bazillion calories, so I have to [...]
