Holiday Appetizer: Homemade Cheese Ball Recipe

It’s the time of year I tend to overindulge in all the cheese. My mom originally started making these cheese balls years and years ago. As I’ve started hosting and entertaining more, I’ve taken over the tradition. Our entire family loves them and the best part is they are so easy to whip up. My…

Easy Taco Dip Recipe for Summer

Summer means it’s time for BBQ’s. Not sure what to make and take? This easy taco dip recipe is always a crowd pleaser with my family! I love this recipe because it’s only 4 ingredients and I usually always have them on hand in the refrigerator. We often times even whip it up on Sunday…

Smoked Salmon Recipe

Let me start this off by saying, I’m definitely not a food blogger. Actually, I always told my sister she needed to start a food blog. I’ve recently realized I’ve been cooking a lot of red meat (we get a beef butchered each year) and not enough fish and chicken. Someone in the house (not…

Christmas Cookie Day

This year I decided to wait until the week of Christmas to start my baking. For some reason, I prefer enjoying them fresh rather than freezing them. However, my Grandma always froze hers and would sometimes even freeze her dough. These are the Christmas cookie recipes I’ve been making over and over for a few…

Apple Cider Mimosa Recipe

The weather has been perfect recently as we’ve hit Indian summer. We had a cold spell and now we have beautiful 70 degree days with the cooler nights. Today was the perfect day to enjoy a fall cocktail and have an apple cider mimosa with friends on the porch! What You Need Prosecco Apple Cider…

Summer Cocktails: Spicy Strawberry Margarita Recipe

Cinco de Mayo is this week so it’s the perfect time to try out a new margarita recipe. In all honesty, I’ve had very few margaritas in my life but I prefer over the rocks rather than frozen. I feel like most women enjoy a little spice in their life, so I decided to put…

Recipe Ideas: Easter Fruit Kabobs

When it comes to dishes for Easter we don’t usually get to carried away because we go to sunrise service at church with a light breakfast, then lunch at my in-laws. My mother in law used to host a full breakfast at church. I’m talking eggs, pancakes, toast, sausage and bacon. Once Covid happened things…

Super Bowl LVI: The Best Game Day Snacks

Well, Super Bowl Sunday is almost here and Tom Brady didn’t make it in how many years? Maybe this Steelers fan is a little excited over that. LOL I’m a football girl through and through, but this year I’m really looking forward to the halftime show and some of the best game day snacks. Give…

Recipe Ideas: Mexican Chicken Tacos-Taco Tuesday

Happy Taco Tuesday! Does anyone else love to celebrate? Believe it or not, I’m good for eating a solid 4 tacos per sitting. And, that’s before Margaritas! 😉 We always have plenty of beef in the freezer, so I usually fix tacos that way. However, once in a while we like a changeup and do…

Dinner Recipe: Cajun Chicken Alfredo

Finding something for dinner that everyone will eat and like is usually pretty tough. Especially if Madison is home. So, since she wasn’t home tonight I thought it was a great time to try out a cajun chicken alfredo. This dinner recipe combines a few of my favorites… pasta, alfredo, chicken and smoked cajun sausage.…

Appetizer Recipe: Warm Crack Chicken Dip

We are winding down on Sunday football games so it was time to try a new dip. Usually, I just make buffalo chicken dip, but we were in the mood for something else. My family absolutely loves when I make crack chicken noodle soup, so I decided to convert it to a dip and enjoy…

DIY Gift Ideas: Homemade Vanilla Extract

You can just call me Martha Stewart this Christmas season. I didn’t have luck baking her cookies back when I was in high school [just ask my dad], but I’m all about the DIY gifts currently. I first learned about homemade vanilla extract from Darylann Denner a few months ago. I’m always a sucker for…
