There’s something to be said about roasting more than one chicken at a time or in our case buying two rotisserie chickens from the store when time is not on our side. Would you believe it is cheaper at times for us to buy two chickens already cooked then buy them raw and cook them? […]

Bits and Bites are one of those classic and tasty snacks many of us remember munching on as kids. My family did not make them when we were littles, however I do recall grabbing handfuls while visiting with friends all throughout my youth and thinking they were the best snacks ever!

We’ve upgraded the classic 7 Layer Dip that was all the rage back in the 80’s and 90’s with this simple Jalapeno Tex Mex Dip featuring Greek yogurt, to make us feel better about eating it. A regular on many tables back in the day, the 7 Layer Dip is really a North Americanized version […]

Breakfast fuels our body and that’s where creating a quick, simple avocado green smoothie can help you start your day […]

Creme Brulee sounds fancy and it may even sound difficult to make, however make it once and see how easy it actually is to create. It’s a dessert you can change up to suit the seasons, adding fresh fruit or edible holiday items, chocolate, coffee and more. We’ve added fresh raspberries to our velvety, rich […]

A fun bread to make, this Irish Soda Bread has become a tradition in our family for St. Patrick’s Day. It’s a family heirloom recipe that’s been tucked away for awhile. The cranberries are my contribution. You can leave them out if you choose, however the addition of these little zingers are a lovely surprise. […]
