RECIPE: Garlic Asiago Cheese Spread

Is today the Monday-ist Tuesday ever?  Coming off a three day weekend is always a little wonky, and it’s definitely one of those off-schedule, nothing is happening the way I planned days.  Two out of three kids are under the weather so I am unexpectedly at the house all day.   I don’t mind at all […]

Matcha Mint Chocolate Biscotti (Gluten-free and Keto-friendly)

Let’s talk specialty baking – like Keto or gluten-free recipes….nothing is more disappointing than spending a gazillion dollars on specialty ingredients and then whatever you baked turns out terrible.  It’s happened to me plenty of times. The good news is that there are plenty of easy recipes, that aren’t full of expensive ingredients (relatively speaking) that […]

Caramel Brulée Latte (Starbucks Copycat)

The weekend…where did it go?  It always goes by too fast, but we had a fun one!  We went to the Olive Branch Christmas parade and the kids had a great time.  We got to sit on a grassy hill and watch all the marching bands and floats go by. Today we are making some […]

Sausage and Gorgonzola Stuffed Mushrooms

I think mushrooms are one of those like it or hate it type foods.  I love mushrooms, but some people swear they hate them – and I always wonder, maybe they just haven’t had them cooked the right way! Mushrooms can be slimy if waterlogged.  They can be bland if not seasoned.  If you’ve only […]

Fall Spice Diffuser Blend

Here’s a great diffuser blend for Fall days!  This blend is sweet and spicy and really fills the room with the scent of Fall. If you’re new to essential oils, check out THIS POST. I actually add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract to this blend, but since there is conflicting information about using vanilla extract in […]

Tummy Soothing Tea!

It’s Monday! Monday morning is always a little rushed and frantic but today especially we were definitely on the crazy train because we had such an awesome, long weekend. We cooked in a BBQ contest about an hour away from home, which meant packing up the camper, prepping food and trimming meats, and leaving the […]
