I just got off the phone with one of my dear friends from Maryland. This mom is a super mom! She homeschools her children, she directs the church Christmas play, and she heads all sorts of other things that I can’t even fathom. I don’t know where she gets all of her energy but I need some […]
I am a big fan of make-ahead casseroles, especially breakfast-themed ones. This french toast casserole is really easy to make and super good. All you need to do is toss everything into a well-oiled baking dish, store it in the fridge, and bake it up bright and early the next morning. I’m telling ya, folks, […]
When it comes to holiday baking I am always looking for new things to make. Last year, I was obsessed with making cookie reindeer. They turned out so adorable that you barely wanted to eat them. This year, I’m leaving the winter animal theme behind and opting for cookie bars. You can’t go wrong with cookie […]

My mother in law makes a decadent version of this lust cake. She uses chocolate pudding instead of vanilla and it turns out really yummy. However, I’m more of a vanilla pudding gal so I like this recipe a bit better. I was thinking about bringing this cake to the church bake sale but I […]

The other day, my dear neighbor and friend, sally and I were chatting. The conversation started out about the colder weather headed our way but quickly turned into hot and comforting foods. You see, Sally and I love toe at so we are always discussing recipes and such. You might envision two very overweight women […]
Fudge. Yum. Fudge is one of my most favorite things to make during the holiday season. From simple chocolate to ones that are a bit more complex in their flavorings, I love making them all.
