So, last weekend we did a big BBQ contest right near our house in Southaven, Mississippi. It was a lot of fund and we got two calls… 6th place in ribs and 3rd place in brisket. It was a big deal for us because it was a touch contest where we competed against world champions […]
Gluten-Free Banana Bread with Vanilla Cream Cheese Spread
Banana Bread….it’s one of those things that every woman over 25 should have a recipe for. Because….when you buy bananas and don’t eat them…and then they just sit there staring at you like it would be a crime just to throw them away, you gotta make some banana bread. I always loved when my mom […]
Keto-Friendly Oven-Fried Chicken Tenders
It’s been a rainy week. I mean, month. I mean, REALLY RAINY year. Our little pond is a lake and our little ditch is now a stream. There are lots of muddy paws and muddy boots! Today I came home from the office and there were two ducks in our pond. I’m sure they won’t […]
Sprouts: BOGO-Free Sale!
So, we’re off to Sprouts to stock up on some things today. My oldest is out of school on Winter Break, and I am bringing ALL 3 KIDS to the store, because they are having a Buy One, Get One Free sale that’s too good to pass up! Sprouts is really one of my favorite […]
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 […]
Toasty White Chocolate Mocha (copycat recipe)
This weekend, I am doing three copycat versions of the Starbucks holiday drinks…they are meant to be healthier versions that you can make at home, making a guilt-free treat you can enjoy for the holidays! Yesterday, I posted my recipe for the Peppermint Mocha, which is a pretty straightforward and easily tweaked recipe, based on what […]
Peppermint Mocha – Starbucks Copycat Recipe!
Well…it’s 70 degrees today, but the cold weather is coming! It’s been a bit of a roller coaster weather wise and we have very cold days in the forecast. Time for hot drinks and a cozy house. And, maybe some decorating? Today I’m at our real estate office closing out our books for the month, […]
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 […]
