I’ve always wanted a cast iron skillet. I like the idea of packing good eats into it and putting it the oven to bake up – there’s something dessert and dinner comfortable about that idea. I’ve always thought the cast iron skillets were just too small for our us. My sister offered me one she […]
My husband loves cheesecake, and everyone here loves lemon! This cheesecake is a little different because you separate the egg whites and add them after whipping. We top with lemon curd, which is optional but delicious! I also think the crust can be an exciting part of the cheesecake. Although, if the crust is soggy
I have been LOVING Jimmy Dean Turkey Crumbles. I’ve been finding all sorts of things to make with them. Fried rice, quiche, dip, pizza, sausage gravy – the list goes on. Hot Buffalo Dip with Turkey Crumbles, it’s delicious! You can find the crumbles in the grocery aisle where the sausage rolls are, most of
Make the Best Fourth of July Cake! Since moving, I don’t have a lot of kitchen supplies unpacked to get fancy. I couldn’t even find my good spatula today. So, this is a last-minute, fun one I came up with when I saw the Pepperidge Farm Coconut Cake on the BOGO from Publix. Do you
We’ve finally made a great overnight breakfast casserole. I’m going to show you how to make amazing overnight french toast casserole that has a great combination of ingredients, and the secret to amazing is baguette bread. I’m not a fan of wet bread breakfast and the baguette bread is perfect to avoid that disaster. Make
I got pretty busy recently and decided to keep on hand a few recipes that still have a made-from-scratch feel, but are faster to prepare. This layered enchilada casserole recipe uses something we normally make ourselves – the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup. In this case, using the canned soup made the
I love a good, creamy hot soup on chillier days. I didn’t say winter days because an August day in Colorado can be chilly, like 50 degrees chilly. One of my favorite soups is our creamy Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup. Creamy Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup This is easy to make and I have a crowd to feed,
This Lemon Roulade Jelly Roll is delicious! I was updating some of our Tea Times Newsletters (digital) and thought I would share this with our readers. A great tea treat, it will certainly be a welcome dish at your table. The lemon curd and jelly roll cake is made from scratch. Lemon curd is so
Soft frosted sugar cookies. Storytime and baby kisses. Coloring and playing outside. Lots of laundry and cooking comfort foods on cold days. Sneaking in sewing during the quiet times (which aren’t many!) Enjoying shopping days with grandma and aunts. Those are words that describe my days lately. So busy, but so sweet. It’s hard to
If you need a tasty mini appetizer for a party, these Spicy Cheese Bacon Tarts are great. Because of the size, they can be time-consuming, so you can make up the batter and put the pie crust in the tart pans the day before your party. For this recipe I used 3 different types of
Hot spinach dip is a new family party favorite! Spinach dip is one of those childhood memories to me. It was one of those favorite appetizers that were always at big family gatherings, birthdays and Christmas parties. I upgraded it this year – tons of flavor (without using a soup/dip mix), and it’s baked to
I absolutely love soft ginger molasses cookies. Last year I made these soft cut-out gingerbread cookies, loved those! The combination of ginger and molasses says Christmas baking to me even more than a good sugar cookie! The recipe I had used for soft molasses cookies wasn’t quite what I wanted anymore. The cookies were far
