Mock Dutch Oven Potatoes

Easy, peasy lick your cheesy fingers. These are the best side dish ever! They go perfectly with the marinated turkey I posted a few weeks ago. I LOVE dutch oven potatoes, and eating them only when camping, or at special cook outs, is definitely not enough for me. A few years back I finally figured out [...]

Or should I say “Zebra Dessert,” like my 4 year old. Whatever you want to call it, this is one of my favorite desserts. It is easy! It has basic ingredients that I usually have on hand, and it is perfect for potlucks or those times when you need to bring a dessert. It makes a big cookie sheet [...]

I some how managed to get strep throat this week (boo hoo).  Having a sore throat really interferes with eating, which you must know is very upsetting to me.

Easy Egg Breakfast Casserole

Back in May my brother got married and instead of a wedding luncheon they had a wedding breakfast. I helped my mom with the food. I was in charge of the egg casseroles. The whole breakfast was awesome, but I have to admit the eggs were probably my favorite part. This is a recipe everyone [...]
