If you read my Copycat Wendy’s Frosty post, you’ll remember that I just got a new ice cream maker that I love! And so we have been going a little homemade ice cream crazy at my house. And I couldn’t wait to try adding things into the basic ice cream recipes to make them even…

Copycat Wendys Frosty Recipe
One of my favorite memories as a kid is eating Wendys frostys. They were a rare treat, since my mom wasn’t a fan of buying us fast food. But once I started driving, I would occasionally drive by Wendys and get a frosty and some fries. Don’t you love dipping your fries in the frosty?…
New England Clam Chowder
We are big fans of clam chowder in my house. There’s really nothing like it, and it’s best fresh. And by ‘fresh’, I mean mostly fresh veggies but I also use some canned goods too. I don’t live near the ocean and so getting fresh clams is not really a priority–especially when the canned clams…
Cookie Butter Milkshake
I love cookie butter but I have a hard time figuring out how to use it. I feel like it’s a little too rich for me to eat on things like toast or in a sandwich but I love the taste of it! So I decided a milkshake would be a good way to use…
12 Amazing Salmon Recipes
In the summer, there’s nothing better than a great salmon fry with family and friends to eat yummy food and celebrate the summer! And then you can keep eating it the rest of the year to take you back to those lazy, hazy, crazy summer days. But if cooking salmon is intimidating to you salmon newbies,…
Cake Mix White Chocolate Lemon Cookies
That’s kind of a mouthful– cake mix white chocolate lemon cookies! And what a delicious mouthful it is. I am super duper addicted to these and literally can’t stop eating them. We had a family dinner tonight and I was in charge of dessert. I wanted to make something fast and easy and these are…
Island Spice Chicken and Coconut Rice
Awhile ago, my sister made me this amazing dinner–Island Pork Tenderloin with Coconut Rice. It uses pork tenderloin, which is kind of an expensive cut of meat and too much food for my small eating family, so today I decided to try this recipe with chicken tenderloins instead. Island Spice Chicken and Coconut Rice–it’s amazing…
Shamrock Cracker Toffee
Want to try a glorious and easy treat? Time for some Shamrock cracker toffee! I usually call this stuff ‘crack’ but it’s starting to get a bad rap. So now it’s ‘Cracker Toffee’ to all y’all. (It’ll still remain Crack to my family.) This is my regular go-to for holiday related treats. It’s delicious and…
Fast and Easy Bread
Have you ever made bread? I have made bread several times but in my mind it always seemed like a very long, arduous process. But maybe that’s because I somehow became the go-to roll maker for family events and always have to quadruple the recipe. And THAT, my friends, is a long arduous process. But…
Olive Tapas
I was thinking the other day how fun it will be this summer in my new neighborhood. The thing about moving into a brand new development is that everyone is eager to be friends…at least mine seems to be. We are already bonding with our neighbors and I feel friendship with them in a way…
Four Soup Recipes for Winter
I try really hard to cook at least 4 times a week, usually more. I love to have homemade meals for my family, since it’s so much healthier and economical than eating out. So I try to stock my pantry with plenty of canned foods so I can always have something even if I’m out…
25 Mouthwatering Paleo Meals
We’re all trying to eat a little healthier right now, aren’t we? I have been making a pretty terrible attempt at eating better but it’s just so hard in the winter. It’s cold and…cold. So you just don’t really feel drawn to eating a salad. I actually tried eating Paleo last fall and it was…
