It’s just coming to the end of that time of year in Florida where our friends and family visit. When we have visitors, especially with kids, I like to have quick food on hand that’s already made. Namely, muffins! They can eat them as a quick on the go breakfast before heading to the theme-parks, […]
Happy Monday, friends! Yesterday was our family dinner day where we make a huge Sunday dinner and dessert. Last night for dinner, we made Turkey Lasagna, garlic bread, a garden salad and for dessert, this Atlantic Beach Pie. But what’s an Atlantic Beach Pie? Think about if the best key lime pie you ever had […]
The other day, I went looking for a dessert recipe to use up some of the last of our summer blueberries. I came across this one from The New Vintage Kitchen and just new this was the one! See, we have large family dinners every Sunday so I save up a lot of the more […]
Watermelon is in season right now and the watermelons themselves seem to be enormous this year! We bought an 8 pound watermelon for $5 and have been enjoying it all week! Of course, we can’t just eat it straight up, so we took half of it and decided to make a granita. It’s a great […]

It’s Thanksgiving time! Time to make turkey, sides and lots and lots of desserts. There are so many desserts this time of year, so it really is hard to choose which one my favorite is. While I love a good pumpkin pie, pumpkin cheesecake and apple pie, I think if I had to choose, my favorite […]
The summer holidays are here and it’s time to celebrate with some red, white and blue! This time of year is full of bbq’s, parties and festive celebrations. And there’s nothing better than a sweet red, white and blue dessert to celebrate. I’ve put together a list of my favorites I’ve made over the years […]
Half sours are my favorite pickles! They’re just a little bit briny and not strong like a dill pickle you’d get in a restaurant or from the supermarket. They have the perfect crunch, the perfect spice and they’re the perfect size! When I was a kid, we always went to the pickle man who kept […]
How is Labor Day already this coming weekend?! I just cannot believe how fast the summer went. Anybody else feel the same way??? Well, since I can’t slow down time, I will just have to enjoy every moment of this weekend with some yummy delicious foods. Over the years, I’ve struggled with coming up with the […]
Growing up, I remember sitting on my deck peeling corn and sticking all the extra bits into a brown paper bag. My dad would then take the corn and grill it ‘naked’. I did this the same way for years until I met Trevor. One day, he said to me “want a quick and easy […]
