Next Level Banana Bread

Remember a little while back when I had extra bananas and wanted to try my favorite banana bread recipes side by side to see which was our favorite? We did end up making more banana bread and turns out one small twist can make either one the favorite – we sprinkled some cinnamon sugar on…

Celebrating Birthdays with Hot Fudge Cake

In our house, we like to make brownies to celebrate on birthdays. To celebrate the oldest turning 17 we made Hot Fudge Cake (aka Lava Cake) instead of brownies and it was a hit. Click here for a link to the recipe. Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day.

Boursin Cheese Pasta

We’ve been talking more about the cookbooks for the kids as the oldest is now 17 and getting close to wrapping up his junior year of high school. We had something really good for dinner the other night and our middle kiddo was bummed about the amount of dishes. She said she would rather eat…

Mini Banana Bread Loaves

We took advantage of ripe bananas to make these mini banana bread loaves. Our counter has a basket that I love to always have bananas and apples in. The bananas are either a hit for the week and gone in a flash or they linger and create opportunities for banana baked goods. It feels like…

Heaven in a Bowl

This dessert is so delicious. It’s almost ridiculous how good it is. The name doesn’t do it justice. This recipe comes from my sister-in-law. She asked if we each wanted to try it and we loved it so much that we had to get the recipe and make it ourselves at home. Let’s Get Crafty!…

Homemade Noodles with Chicken and Butterballs

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls around Christmas time is turning into a holiday tradition for our family as our middle kiddo continues to enjoy cooking and baking. These cinnamon rolls are great all ooey and gooey just like this or you can add frosting if it makes your heart happy. Let’s Get Crafty! Ingredients:1 package active dry yeast…

Broccoli Rice Casserole

This holiday classic is one of my favorite side dishes. I was super excited a few years ago that it was also a hit for our littlest kiddo that likes broccoli and loves cheese. I’ve tried several versions and this is a tried and true favorite. This poor recipe didn’t get a separate pretty picture,…

Chicken Quesadilla Wrap

Sheet pan quesadillas are a favorite at our house and I wanted to make something similar but smaller. That’s how this idea came to be. This is also great because people are able to pick what they want to put in each of their sections. Let’s Get Crafty! Ingredients:Wrap size tortillasCooked meat of your choice…
