  • Weird name for a cake, but easy and delicious!

    If you do a little web search, you’ll find that Gooey Butter Cake is a St. Louis tradition.  (And that’s the actual name of it).  Some friends of ours initially brought it to the lake, and it’s like HEAVEN.  Super delicious starts with this: It starts with a boxed yellow cake mix, and butter recipe Continue reading

  • I’m back! (with alcohol)

    Thanks for hanging in there with me….been swamped and no time to blog.  I have some amazing recipes I’ll be sharing this week, but first want to share a delicious drink.  Well, a delicious shot.  Yes, shots are delicious but the end result isn’t always something to write home about, so proceed with caution! Some Continue reading

  • A quick & easy appetizer for a crowd

    Since graduation, prom and wedding season are upon us, I thought this might be a good time to share a really easy appetizer, that’s also easy on the wallet. We’ve all had MANY versions of appetizer meatballs, and probably the easiest is dumping BBQ sauce with frozen meatballs in your handy dandy crockpot.  I’m not Continue reading

  • Delicious cookies from a family friend! (with a smoked sausage surprise)

    Look at this delicious little morsel: When I met my husband, Mike, I didn’t realize how I was really getting the whole package.  By that I mean I gained a wonderful mother and father-in-law.  Two of the nicest people you will ever meet!  Over the course of the years, Debbie has brought some delicious treats Continue reading

  • HMD to a fabulous lady!!! (Delicious Fish Tacos coming this weekend)

    Well my post today was going to be about the amazing fish tacos we devoured last night, but I was too full and sleepy to type, so you’ll have to wait a day!  The recipe will come to you with edits from me (of course), but originated on Food Network — The Kitchen.  LOVE that Continue reading

  • Apple Salsa with Cinnamon Chips

    Now that some really good, sweet fruit is available in the grocery store, I love to brew this salsa up.  However, the cinnamon chips are sooo delicious that you want to be sure to make plenty. This will please even the most finnicky of eaters, and you can throw in additional fruit to your liking. Continue reading

  • Crescent Roll Ups – really easy and yummy!

    These delectable bites make an easy appetizer and are good right out of the oven, or even cold.  I highly recommend buying the whole crescent roll sheet as the first time I made them, it was a little sketchy.  However, things have improved: It took all of 10 minutes to put these together and another Continue reading

  • Another birthday, and STROMBOLI!!!!!

    Twenty-nine years ago today, I was just a tad tired and stressed, which translates into the fact that my daughter, Brandi, didn’t just come bee bopping into this world easily.  However, it’s been all good since then – some unbelievably good times, with someone who I love “as big as the world”.  (You’re supposed to Continue reading

  • Mike & Mike Jalapeno Poppers

    We like mexican food, and experimenting with recipes.  So, we’re always looking to invent new recipes and steal some from friends (thanks Heather & Mike). MB (for you new followers, that’s the hubster, Mike) has a hankerin for making variations of jalapeno poppers, stuffed jalapenos, etc.  We had these recently and have made them a Continue reading

  • A new twist on BACON!

    Everyone likes bacon, right???  Once in awhile for something different, or if having guests, I like to make this spiced bacon, and boy does it go over good!  You can even make it ahead and refrigerate, microwaving briefly when you’re ready to serve.  Adjust the cayenne to your liking, and voila, an easy and delicious Continue reading
