After feeling so crummy from a bad cold these past few weeks, I was relieved when I finally started feeling better. I had such big plans for this Christmas season, and sadly, so many of my ideas were put on hold because of my nasty cold. One thing I promised myself though, was that I’d…

It’s time for Scone of the Month, and this month’s flavor doesn’t disappoint. These Gluten Free Turtle Scones are delightful, and so easy to put together!  I’ve always loved those delicious little chocolate turtles. They’re one of my favorite chocolate treats… something about the combination of chocolate, caramel and pecans is so yummy. These gluten…

‘Tis the season for all things pumpkin, right? That’s why for this month’s Scone of the Month recipe, we’re going with Gluten Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones. They’re delicious, with just the perfect hint of pumpkin and cinnamon mixed in with chocolate chips. Mmm… Growing up, especially during fall, my mom would make the most…

A few months ago in a TGI-Friday post, I shared all about my love of scones. I really, really love them. They’ve always been a breakfast staple for me, and I look forward to making a batch every weekend, always coming up with different flavors and combinations to experiment with. Over the last month or so,…

We’ve reached the final day of canning week! Today, let’s go back to basics with canned peaches. This is perhaps one of the easiest and best places to start if you’re new to canning.  Growing up, this is one of the recipes we’d always follow for both peaches and pears. And let me tell you,…

It’s day two of our canning week and today it’s all about homemade canned peach syrup! Have I ever told you how much I love homemade fruit syrup? It started when I was a little girl. My mom would cook pancakes for breakfast and she’d make the most delicious pear syrup from her canned pears…

Welcome to the first day of canning week! Starting off our week, is canned apple pie filling! This recipe is seriously amazing. But before we dive into it, let me give you a little back story about my experience with canning.  Growing up, I was raised with a mom and family that loved to can….

In the past I’ve shared that I’m gluten intolerant, so our house is basically 100% gluten free besides the few “normal” things Anthony likes to eat. In the beginning, it was difficult to find enjoyment in food. I felt like I was shoved on an island, not knowing what I could or couldn’t eat, and…

It’s really, really felt like fall lately. And as much as I’ve loved summer, I’ve been soaking up the slightly cooler temps and the few changes I’ve noticed in our surroundings. And to top it off, it’s raining right now, which makes me want to snuggle up on the couch with a blanket and great…

I come from a family who absolutely adores pie. We each request our favorite pie for birthday celebrations, Holidays, and any regular ol’ day. My mom just happens to have a collection of amazing pie recipes… and a top notch pie crust! Last weekend Anthony, my dad and my brother were busy on the tractors…

I don’t generally share a lot of recipes, but I do like to share recipes that warm my heart. And these perfect fluffy pancakes are one of those recipes. Growing up, my mom stayed at home with my brother and I. She had breakfast ready and on the table every morning. I have so many…

I don’t share recipes very often. It’s not that I don’t love to cook, because I really do. I spend the majority of my time in our kitchen. My cousin and I are in the process of making a family cookbook. My grandma passed away when my mom was seven. My mom, and her 3…

Happy Monday everyone! Before we moved and built our new home we lived on a wonderful street with the sweetest neighbors. My husband had recently undergone a big knee surgery and I was busy being his nurse. One of our awesome neighbors, Cindy, surprised us with a platter of delicious peanut butter cookies. They were…
