When I was little, I absolutely hated Mexican food. Ugh, the tortillas, veggies, weird chips and dips. I dreaded Taco Tuesdays and whenever my parents said it was Mexican lunch after church. I was not amused by it and it was definitely not my cup of tea. If you had met me today though, […]
Some of my favorite desserts contain pecans. Off the top of my head, my mom’s classic holiday rum cake or my grandma’s apple cobbler both contain pecans and that little crunch makes all those desserts all the better. This dessert is no different. The addition of pecans to this makes it so much better. Now, […]
I don’t know about you, but I absolutely adore eating almond Joy candy bars. The milk chocolate covering the sweet coconut patty is UH-MAZING! I also can’t get enough of the almond crunch that is lurking inside. However, I’m a bit of a cheapskate and don’t always like spending my hard earned pennies on overpriced candy. […]
Every fourth of July, my sister makes red, white and blue treats. Think pretzels covered in white chocolate with red and white drizzles, and vanilla ice cream with blue and red sprinkles.

I just can’t help myself. Two slices is a minimum. One of my favorite fall recipes is Apple Crisp. Last year, I had it almost every night for a couple of months. It is so absolutely delicious and perfectly warm for those cool nights. You don’t know how many times I’ve been wanting to make […]
