I’m not going to lie, I usually set out a cheese tray from the grocery store but wanted to try a Christmas tree cheese board this year. Pinterest came through with lots of inspiration and I couldn’t wait to give a tree-shaped cheese board a try. This year it was our turn to host Christmas…
This year for Christmas, Madison and I decided to make some DIY gifts to give out to friends and teachers. With the dry winter weather we decided that homemade whipped body butter would make a great gift! Trust me when I say that when you decide to google anything DIY tons of options come up…
The countdown is on to our favorite Thursday of the year where we stuff ourselves with turkey and carbs then nap while watching football and scouring the pre-Black Friday sales. I look forward to the sides more than the turkey and desserts. When you’re searching Pinterest for recipes, there are so many to choose from,…
Once the weather starts cooling down and it starts getting dark earlier, that’s when I know it is soup season. I think it’s all in my head that I can’t eat soup when it’s 80 degrees in July, but that’s just me. Once the weather changed here in southwest Pennsylvania, I decided it was time…
We are getting closer to the holidays where it’s time to be sure we have a few good recipes on hand for gatherings. I’m not one who enjoys cooking dinner, but when it comes to supplying a dish or cocktail for a party, I’m all in! I first started making this poinsettia cocktail recipe a…
Is meatloaf a family favorite at your house? My sweet and spicy meatloaf is a dinner recipe that the kids often ask for. I feel like meatloaf can get a bad rep for being a recipe your grandma made with dried-out beef and a ketchup glaze. Well, have no fear, that’s not my meatloaf! Sweet…
I’m not sure about you, but once the temperature starts heating up I want a nice cool refreshing drink. I’m a wine and beer girl through and through, but if I’m sitting out on the patio or by the pool I’ll gladly take a cool cocktail. This summer raspberry spritzer did just the trick on…
Happy Cinco de Mayo! What better way to celebrate than with a spicy-cranberry margarita and your favorite Mexican food? I’m not sure about you, but I’m a classic taco girl. I’ve never had a spicy margarita until now so when I heard you could give it a cranberry twist, I knew that would be the…
There’s nothing I love more in the winter than comfort food. That usually includes soups and stews. Unfortunately, besides Jayden my family will never all eat the same soup. But, I decided to try this spin on a chicken noodle soup and they all loved it! The fact that Andrew ate two bowls the first…
Valentine’s Day isn’t really a holiday we go crazy with around here. Definitely, when I was younger I loved Andrew sending me flowers and extra special treats. However, as I’ve gotten older I ask him not to waste money on flowers priced double that one day in February that usually don’t last for a week.…
Even at 35, I still love a warm cup of hot chocolate as soon as the temperatures start to fall. I’m not much of a TikTok person, but Madison informed me of the Whipped Hot Chocolate that’s taking place of the popular Whipped Coffee trend and we had to give it a try! It was…
Madison’s been on a kick lately with making homemade lemonade to where I’ve had to start buying the big bags of lemons every week so I’m left with a few for my water. Usually she’ll just squeeze half a lemon in her water and add some sugar, but this time we made the real deal…
