Pumpkin Pie

Can it really be a Thanksgiving dinner without pumpkin pie? I’m not sure… I can’t remember a Thanksgiving growing up when my Mom didn’t make one. Our kids love pumpkin pie, so this recipe definitely needed to be on my blog to include in my kiddo’s cookbooks. Nothing fancy. I like the recipe straight off…

Apple Pie Filling

I’ve had going to an apple orchard on my fall bucket list the last couple years and I tend to think about it too late in the season so this year I checked into it early and set myself a reminder. It was fun getting to pick apples right off the trees. Let’s Get Crafty!…

Peach Cobbler

The peaches have arrived! In anticipation… I have been looking at peach cobbler recipes. We did a peach crisp last year that was really good and this year a peach cobbler sounds like just the ticket. Our littlest kiddo was so excited for peaches that she ate one while we made the peach cobbler. The…

Banana Bread with White Chocolate Chips

Do you have things you really want to do but it seems hard sometimes to find the pocket of time to match with the energy level to do it? For me… that is making banana bread. I’ve been freezing bananas to save for the day the stars aligned. It happened on this day and truly…

Smores with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Ah-MAZ-ing! The reese’s cup was put on a graham cracker and set on the campfire grill with indirect heat for a minute or so to help it get nice and melty. My Mother-in-Law perfectly toasted the marshmallow and my middle kiddo put it together for me with perfection. Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have…

Strawberry Ice Cream Cake

We made this for my husband’s birthday. It’s layered strawberry ice cream with strawberry syrup and crushed graham crackers. It would also be fun to try with a chocolate and oreo twist or a peanut butter twist. The combination possibilities are endless. Let’s Get Crafty! This is going to be more of a recipe by…

Poor Man Rice Pudding

This is a recipe from my Dad. This was a favorite thing to do when we were kids whenever we had rice for dinner and there was leftovers. There always seemed to be some leftover… as a Mom – I now realize my Mom must have planned the extra so we could do this. ❤…

Coffee Cake

I remember my Mom making coffee cakes when I was a little girl.  There is something about a coffee cake baking in the oven that turns a home into a comfy, cozy place to be.  I’m hopeful that we make things that create feelings of happiness and comfort for our kiddos and that one day they…

Hot Fudge Cake

When I was a little girl, we would go out to eat at a buffet called King’s Table. My Uncle Jay and Grandpa Bob used to call it the Fork and Spoon.  That makes me smile just thinking about it. They had a dessert that was part chocolate cake and part ooey gooey chocolaty deliciousness. …
