I made these for Valentines Day using a few different cookie brands I had in my pantry, and they turned out SO delicious. You can definitely stick to one type of cookie, like Oreos, but if you have a bunch of cookies lying around that are going to go stale, […]
I found this original recipe in a cookbook from my grandmothers collection. The cookbook is called National Square Dance Competition 25th Anniversary Cookbook. My grandparents used to square dance competitively and traveled all over the country competing! This cookbook is a collection of recipes submitted by people who competed in […]
This is a super easy and quick weeknight meal! Just like all of my recipes, this one can also be altered depending on what you like or have on hand. Feel free to swap out the asparagus for another favorite veggie, or add something else you have on hand!

This is the perfect summer dish. It is light, yet filling, and I love buying a lot of these ingredients at my local farmer’s market. Like most of my recipes, you can make changes to suit your preferences! Feel free to use difference seasonings on the sweet potato, or add […]

This recipe is near and dear to my heart! It is my Yaya’s recipe and every time I make it, it brings me right back to my childhood when she would make this for spaghetti night on Fridays. Not to get too sappy, but I have an intense emotional connection […]
This is such an easy weeknight meal and, just like a lot of my recipes, it is very versatile! If you don’t like blue cheese swap it out with your fav cheese, or feel free to use turkey bacon instead of regular bacon.
Alright, so I know some people have some super top secret family chili recipe that has been handed down for generations, and I also know chili is one of those things that everyone, or every region, has the “right” way of doing it, but all I know is this chili […]
