We’ve been stuck on these yummy fruit and yogurt parfaits recently. They’re pretty easy to make. There’s a couple of steps to it, particularly if you make your own granola, but it’s all pretty easy! I usually have small styrofoam cups with lids around for frozen fruit cups or leftover homemade ice cream. I’ve […]
Cheese and Grapes Tray
I put together this cheese and grapes tray at Christmastime last year. I saw a similar idea and it inspired me to do my own. I used green grapes, red grapes, cojack cheese, colby cheese, pepperjack cheese, monterey jack and tucked in some dill for garnish. I used cinnamon sticks at the bottom to create […]
Very Delicious Veggie Dip
Do you have a favorite veggie dip? Want a new one to try for end-of-summer garden veggies or to pair with soup as fall comes on? This one has been a long time favorite of mine. It’s super easy to whip up. I do still just grab a tub of Marzetti’s dip sometimes, but this […]
Ten Things I Did Over Labor Day Weekend
How was your weekend? We had a good one, although I ended up pretty tired. I was expecting to feel that way, though, after we were gone last weekend and had appointments and several things going on last week. We spent most of the weekend with all of Matthew’s family. It was great fun to […]
Dill Ranch Pretzels
This is a quick salty snack, if you HAPPEN to be looking for a quick salty snack. It’s not just a quick, salty snack, but a tasty, salty snack that is quick. I find them tasty anyway. And quick. And most definitely salty. If you don’t care for ranch flavor or dill flavor or […]
Homemade Salsa
I had a friend asking me about my salsa recipe. It’s one I have planned on adding here sometime. I needed to rewrite it with the changes and tweaks I’ve done and it struck me that it would be almost as quick to simply add it here. Then it would be here and she could […]
Corned Beef Cheeseball
Cheeseball. It’s just a yummy snack. It intrigues me how cream cheese can be so tasty as a salty type snack and so delicious in a sweet recipe. It’s all about what you add to it! We tend to fix cheeseball around the holidays, it seems. But, I also fix it some in the summer […]
Applesauce Jello Salad
I would not say my family is a jello-salad crazy family. I can think of three jello salad recipes off the top of my head, that I, myself, like to eat and have made. I’ve never been fond of carrot salad and I don’t think I’ve ever made it. I also tend to be […]
Peanut Butter Rice Krispy Squares
Here is our version of Rice Krispy Squares. We love these things. Super simple. Super easy. Super-duper yummy! This was something else I made a good bit when I was kid. They don’t take long, don’t require baking and you soon have a sweet, crunchy treat! It’s also really yummy to throw in some M&M’s. […]
Party Cheeseball
I remember my Mother fixing this cheeseball when I was growing up. I always loved it. When I was a kid, I didn’t care for the dried beef/corned beef version of cheeseball and it seemed like it was popular and if cheeseball was on the menu, it was the one! My Mother would make both […]
Autumn Crunch Snack Mix
Snack Mix. It just makes you think yummy. When we’re on the go a lot or having family visit or it’s cold and snowy…any of these times are times when I like having a snack mix on hand. Not that it always happens, but it’s nice when it does. Quick, tasty snacks just seem homey, […]
Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
Do you like miniature food? Yeah, that sounds kind of funny, really!! But, I think bite size appetizers, and cheese cubes and mini muffins and things along this order are fun to eat! Plus, a lot of times they look really pretty or you can display them in an appetizing way. This muffin recipe is […]
Rhubarb Jello
I have a rhubarb recipe to share this week. I got it from my mother-in-law. She fixes it every rhubarb season…at least as long as I’ve been around. And I’m pretty sure she fixed it when my husband was a boy at home. He loves it and I’ve noticed that some of his favorite foods […]
Deviled Eggs or Salad Eggs or Yummy Eggs
Easter is quickly approaching and surely, spring weather, coming-to-stay, isn’t far behind! I made deviled eggs this week and jotted down a recipe to share. For the most part, I’m not a cook who just whips things up by putting in a pinch of this and a cup of that and a dash of the other. […]
Crockpot Party Mix
Since we had wind and snow the last couple of days and we were blanketed in with fifteen inches of snow, I made some snacks yesterday. And I enjoyed a relaxed, cozy day looking out the window at the snow and being very thankful I could stay inside my warm house. And I was thankful […]
Yummy Berry Fruit Cups
Here is the other fruit cup recipe that I like really well. The rest of my family isn’t as fond of it, but I don’t mind. ‘Cause I really like them! You can go here for my family’s favorite fruit cup. The recipe I have didn’t really have a name, so I made one up. […]
A Harvest/Summer Staple
Fruit Cups! It wouldn’t be harvest time without frozen fruit cups in the freezer. They’re a pantry freezer staple during the summertime and wheat harvest around here. I have tried different recipes in the past. Anymore, I don’t really follow an exact recipe. I have a basic form and just add and dump and use whatever I have […]
