Category Archives: QUICK AND EASY

As one year ends and another begins, I want to thank you for sharing a little part of my life. This crazy baking blog is a happy space for me and getting to know you through comments and emails brightens my days. I appreciate the ideas you share, your subtle nudges for help and also those of you who just silently lurk behind the scenes. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives, in and out of my kitchen.
I’m excited for a fresh new year and the opportunity to put stacks of saved recipes to the test. Time always seems limited, but hopefully the occasional knock at your door will still be welcome.

My wish for each of you in 2016, is peace of mind and a happy heart!

I thought it would be fun for you to see which 10 recipes were the most popular for 2015.

Hi.

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted. I know . . . I was quite the slacker over the holidays. I knew that with ALL the amazing blogs out there, we were all in good hands.

I’m a planner. I like all my ducks in a row. When one duck gets out of line or seems neglected, it’s time to take care of that duck for awhile!

A little about ducks . . and delicious Slow Cooker Taco Soups.

I stumbled across an interesting recipe the other day, over at Taste of Home. It wasn’t the apple or the crisp that made me take another look. It was the words cake mix.

I knew immediately that it would be scrumptious. It is and it was. I’ll be making this again and again!

Do you know how many copycat Chili’s Salsa recipes there are available, with the click of a mouse?

Baaaaaazillions!

I’ve tried at least fifty of them. True story. Seriously . . . Chili’s restaurant has to be laughing at all of us. Can I be bold enough to say, that I think this one is the closest? Heck yes!

Our dinner was scrumptious tonight, so I thought I’d share. It was also super easy. The grill . . . is summers best friend. This honey, ginger, garlic marinated, glazed flank steak is tender & fall apart awesome. Grilled corn or asparagus – one of my favorites, is the perfect side. Homemade potato chips pushes it over the top!

What’s an incredibly rich, super-easy, weekend treat? These rocky road fudge bars! All it takes to make this stellar dessert is a few simple steps: Just layer hot Fudge and chopped almonds on top of marshmallow-fluff-topped graham crackers, chill, and cut. Scrumptious!
