I grew up in Southern Virginia where the rolling hills are green, the accents are thick, and the biscuits are plentiful. There are several fast food restaurants devoted to serving up fresh, hot buttery biscuits. One of these restaurants, Bojangles to be exact, is our absolute favorite. Not only are the biscuits perfect in every… Continue reading Iced Blueberry Biscuits
I love pretty much all treats. Except pie. I don’t LOVE pie. It’s probably my least favorite, but I do enjoy a slice every once in awhile. I show a lot of cookies, cakes, and cupcakes on here, but no one knows the one treat that that I absolutely cannot stay out of. I seriously… Continue reading Churro Rice Krispie Treats
For Christmas 2020, I was given the best present. My mom made copies of my grandmother’s (who we actually call Mom) recipes. I love this little treasure and being able to see her handwritten recipes. This recipe actually came from one of Mom’s good friends, Diane Long, back in 1962 when my grandparents were living… Continue reading Mom’s Oatmeal Cake
A few years back, my friend invited me to her Bunco night as a substitute. I was excited to get out of the house and have a fun evening out. About an hour before we were to leave, she texted to tell me that Bunco also included dinner and dessert. Say, what?! I got to… Continue reading Twix Bars
About 3 years ago, we took a trip down to Arizona in the middle of the summer. It was HOT! How do people actually live there? We went down for our newest niece’s baby blessing and 4th of July celebrations. My sister-in-law and her husband were in dental school and living in a small 2-bedroom… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Shortbread Cookies
A few years ago during a health streak, I came across an idea for date candies. I whipped them up and devoured all of them. So much, for the health streak. I made them quite often and would take them to friend’s houses as the treat, so I could ensure that I would stay on… Continue reading Peanut Butter Date Caramels
Even though 2020 was a bust of a year, there were some really great things that came out of it for our family. We grew closer together, in proximity and in relationships, we’ve learned a lot of patience, or maybe our patience was tested to its brim every single day. I also learned a new… Continue reading Banana Bread French Toast
Our family loves pound cake. If you haven’t already tried my Lemon Glazed pound cake, you should! I grew up having one probably once a month because my mom loves them so much. My base recipe that I use is from my great-grandmother, Mama (pronounced Maw-Maw, hey, we’re southern). I never met her, but I… Continue reading Chocolate Pound Cake
Happy New Year! What a whirlwind we had in 2020. It seemed like such a long month back in March, and then all of a sudden it was December. I absolutely love the holidays, and we made sure to send this crazy year out with a bang. A couple of years ago, we went back… Continue reading Banana Bread
One year, I hosted all of my in-laws for Christmas. I mean all of them. My brother-in-law was coming home from his 2-year mission for our church from Spain just a few days before Christmas and Utah was the welcome home spot. I love hosting, so it was fun mixed with a lot of crazy… Continue reading Forget-Me-Nots
