Were you ever glad you took a picture of something because it was so fleeting that it was gone before you knew it? Yeah, me too. It applies RIGHT NOW! Because I am polishing off the rest of these CARAMEL M&M’S KICKING BROWN SUGAR COOKIES as I type this. THEY ARE THAT GOOD! I mean, …

Can you really imagine something better than hiding your veggies in cheese pulls and all kinds of wonderfulness? Yeah, I know, we save that for holidays right? Not anymore! Now, Broccoli Cheese Casserole for Two in a Crockpot is not just for a holiday crowd! Besides that it can be prepared in a crockpot, baked or even frozen …
Since the snow hit two weeks ago, I’ve totally been in the mood for winter. Except, of course, the last 3 days where the air feels bitter and biting and I have to actually wear a heavy coat when I go outside. I much prefer the type of winter where snow lingers, the sun is …
My 15 month old grandson is teetering around my home office with a smear of dark chocolate on his chin and a big toothy grin on his face. It’s not appropriate to give chocolate to a baby, so don’t do it. I shouldn’t have admitted this to you. Besides, what if his mother reads this …
Sometimes you just have to give in to the urge. That’s what I’ve been doing with these S’mores Cookie Bars. We didn’t have a bonfire all summer – not a single one. No campfire while we were at the beach. Nothing. There were NO opportunities for S’mores in my life this summer. And now, sadly, …
I hear your thoughts, “if she thinks that I have time to can Green Beans, she is CRAZY!” “I would rather just pay for beans at the store”. “I just want to come home, get dinner on the table and move on with life!” But, my dear friend, Canning your own food DOES SAVE you …
Right now, you are probably saying, “EWWWWW!”. But I swear, this is DELICIOUS! Plus, Grilled Chocolate Cheddar = LOVE. Yeah, you probably never thought grilled chocolate cheddar could possible = love, right? It does though! Creating this Grilled Chocolate Cheddar recipe is nothing but an act of love.
Easy, summery colors and mouthwateringly DELICIOUS! That is MY kind of recipe! (Sarah reporting here). I hope we are all headed out to a pool somewhere near – very soon – cause, guess what ya’ll? It is getting HOT out there! I tried this dish out on my mom’s book club a few weeks ago …
As someone who has said, “Fruit in your green salad? …. Ewwww!” or “I think the world would be better without that particular combination of foods – just keep your fruits and your green vegetables separate please”, I should probably be ashamed. I usually fancy myself as a socially liberal but financially conservative person (I’ll …
I have actually dreamed about this Four Cheese Pasta Bake. Yeah, I know. That little statement probably gives you some insight into stuff you might not really want to know about me and my slightly junky and cookbook filled brain. Unless you have plopped yourself down in a comfy restaurant booth after a long …
I know. I know. This is a family site! What is an alcoholic beverage doing on a family site? Well, let me tell you, sometimes Mama needs a drink! Last Saturday night after the wedding festivities I was certainly ready for something! The whole gang met at Milners (I’ve told you about that lovely place …
Yeah – so go look around the internets and you will see many recipes for Potatoes Au Gratin. You almost never see recipes for twice fired potatoes au gratin. Why would you fire a potato anyway? And TWICE? Isn’t that overdoing it just a little, Wendi? Well, no, because every single time I have tried …

I’ll admit it. No one is going to come breaking down your door to get at a baked potato. Well, except me maybe. Baked Potatoes are one of my all-time top-ten favorite foods – especially if you add some whole cream butter, salt and pepper, sour cream and sharp cheddar cheese. Do I have your …
I know. I know. As you are reading this recipe, you are thinking, “My GOD, what is that woman trying to do to her family and guests with all of that cream, cheese, cream cheese and (gasp) cheese food?” In my own defense, I have to tell you, this began innocently enough many years ago- …
Who me? Don’t mind me. I’m just sitting over here munching on my Carolina Christmas Beans just like I’ve been doing for the past couple of days. I thought we might need an alternative to Green Bean Casserole – I mean, I LOVE Green Bean Casserole – but, I’m a little tired of it, aren’t …
This post sponsored by Bird’s Eye. Have you ever thought about this? My oldest child (almost 28) loved to be rocked until he was about 3 or 4 years old. At some point, I have no idea when, he didn’t ask to be rocked any more. There was a “very last time”. One day, he …
I hope you won’t mind me running a little far afield from talking about the recipe for pumpkin pie with a pecan drizzle here, because frankly I’m starting to have a little bit of an internal freak out. I know that I am supposed to be spending these first few words alluring you with the …
I know, I know – in a world of respectable accomplishments, like the ones you people are doing every day, this seems like the itty bittiest of things to be excited about. However, in MY life, this is a BIG THING. It is HUGE! I have pulled off a dog-gone close recipe for a Pumpkin …
What is better on a cold rainy morning or cool cloudy evening than a stack of hot waffles drenched in a sweet apple cinnamon topping? Uhhhhhh…… nothing! Well, I know that my hubby was hoping that I would make a Kale Cranberry Granola for his breakfast – but instead he had to deal with rich, …
