Last Christmas my mom gave me Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook: Eat Up and Slim Down with more than 350 Healthy Recipes. Y’all, their recipes are magical. I don’t know how they do it. Many times, I look at the list of ingredients for one of the recipes and have my doubts. Every single recipe I have ever made from […]

Sweet Potato Layer Cake with Caramel-Cream Cheese Frosting
Fall has definitely arrived here in Alexandria,VA. Cooler temps and falling leaves are a constant reminder that summer is over. Very soon, the holiday season will be in full swing. I am not a fan of cooler weather, but do love the holidays and all that comes with it. Especially the food. This Sweet […]
Oven Roasted Greek Potatoes
These Oven Roasted Greek Potatoes are a family favorite and one of my go-to recipes whenever we have friends over for dinner. Enjoy!
Corn and Shrimp Chowder
This creamy, hearty soup is perfect comfort food on a cold fall or winter day. The chunkiness of the vegetables and shrimp is super filling.

Tried and True Pot Roast
I don’t know about other parts of the country, but when I was growing up in the South pot roast was the typical Sunday afternoon meal. It was an easy meal to prepare. My mom would let the roast cook along with some potatoes, carrots, and onions either in the oven or in the Crockpot […]
