I used to have a real fear of butter. For years, I heard that all fat was bad so I eliminated high fat foods from my diet not realizing that all fats are not created equal. The past few months I have embraced the Eat Clean lifestyle which includes real food and doesn’t limit foods […]

Oatmeal Carmelitas
The combination of oatmeal, chocolate, and caramel make these bars worthy of 5 stars. While making these bars, I like to practice saying carmelitas in a Spanish accent. My boys just look at me like I am weird. That’s ok, I am comfortable with my weirdness. 🙂 Buon Appetito!
Bayou Brownies
Would you like a super easy knock-your-socks off dessert? Well, look no further than these blonde Bayou Brownies. The first time I baked these my 16 year old son loved them so much he had to practice some severe self control to keep from eating 1/2 the pan. When I originally made these I didn’t […]

I looked through my cookbooks until I found this recipe. This Frozen Peppermint Cheesecake is a no bake recipe. When […]
Poppy Seed Chicken
“And now my beauties, something with poison in it I think, with poison in it… attractive to the eye and soothing to the smell. Poppies, poppies, poppies will put them to sleep, sleep. Now they’ll sleep” Do you know what famous movie this line is from? I am sure most of you know exactly what […]
Eggs Florentine Casserole ~ Tastes Like Christmas
Is there a food that you associate with Christmas? You know what I mean. Whenever you eat a particular cookie or candy recipe, your grandmother’s special cake, or your Aunt Trudy’s Peanut Brittle it reminds you of Christmas. A couple of weeks ago my sister asked me for the recipe for this Egg Florentine Casserole. […]
$100,000 Cinnamon Rolls
My husband has been bugging me for weeks to make these $100,000 cinnamon rolls to take to work. I made them several months ago and his coworkers loved them. I have sent several baked goods with him to work, but the cinnamon rolls have been the biggest hit. I even entered them in a silent auction for a charity fundraiser and they sold for […]
