    Cookie Dough Truffles (1 vote)
    I have a disclaimer - I am obviously not nearly as good as dipping balls of dough into chocolate as Priscilla is - her cookie dough truffles are beautiful! And you should check out her top ten countdown that she has been doing, of her ten[...]
  • Recipe Chili Man!
    Chili Man!
    Most of our meals lately are very simple. Case in point: lunch today was canned chili and green beans. But sometimes we like to make things a bit more fun for the kids. Plus, Zaylee sometimes balks at eating chili. Enter Chili Man! His head is[...]
  • Recipe Pizza Bites
    Pizza Bites
    {um, can you say... yum?!} I was blog stalking one of my favorite cooking blogs, Annie's Eats, and I came across this delectable little recipe. I thought about it for weeks, and finally I decided to try it out. Holy cow, if I never eat a Little[...]
  • Recipe Granola Bars
    Granola Bars
    I love granola bars, especially the chewy kind. They're delicious, they're healthy (relatively), and they come in so many fun flavors! They are great for traveling too, since they're easy to eat and don't make a mess when you give them to kids. So[...]
  • Recipe Soft Pretzels
    Soft Pretzels
    {i could just eat these all day} I have to give credit to my dear hubby, Warren, for coming up with the idea of making pretzels. It was his idea. I hate to admit it, but that's what we had for dinner... straight pretzels. Sad, huh? Oh the joys of[...]

    Mini Pizzas :-)
    Cheap food doesn't have to be boring. Yes, we eat lots of beans and rice here, but we also throw in some fun and cheerful foods for variety. Case in point: these cute little individual pizzas. I used this recipe to make the crust, then formed[...]
  • Recipe My First Dump Cake
    My First Dump Cake
    I've eaten dump cakes before, and I've seen recipes for a variety of dump cakes. But until today, I'd never actually made one. The premise of a dump cake is that you just dump a can or two of fruit into the pan, dump some dry cake mix on top,[...]
  • Recipe Mayonnaise Muffins
    Mayonnaise Muffins
    I got a new cookbook at a thrift store today. Actually, it's definitely not new, but I'm pretty excited about it anyway. It's the Southern Living 1983 Annual Recipes book - the compilation of every Southern Living recipe from the year that I was[...]
  • Recipe Biscuit Mix Cookies
    Biscuit Mix Cookies
    A little before Christmas I posted a recipe for biscuit mix that could be used for holiday gift giving. However, I only gave one packet of mix left, and was left with lots of biscuit mix for my family's use. I love the biscuits that this mix[...]
