I know that bragging isn’t always flattering, but I’m throwing all of that out the window today and am going to spend this post bragging about my husband. I married a really good guy and am very lucky. Sure there are times we don’t get along and when I can’t wait for him to leave [...]
My Simple Valentine {Recipe: Soft & Chewy Vanilla Butter Cookies}
Pin It If you haven’t noticed by browsing Pinterest or your favorite food blogs lately, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. It seems the entire internet has erupted in a fit of red and pink!

Now I Get It! {Recipe: Biscoff Biscotti & “Keep Warm” with Frigidaire}
Pin It I finally get the love people have for Biscotti. I honestly didn’t understand it before. Why was there such adoration for a crunchy type treat that seemed to be having an identity crisis? Is it a cookie or is it a biscuit? Besides that, all the Biscotti I had in the past seemed [...]
Oh, Bananas {Recipe: Banana Gelato}
Pin It Three ripe bananas were sitting in our fruit basket, taunting me with options. Should I make banana muffins? How about sour cream banana pancakes? Banana Crumble was a huge hit around here… maybe I should use these ripe bananas to make that recipe. Undecided, I went about my business for the day, still [...]
The Best Brownie Recipe & Using the Frigidaire Symmetry Oven Convection Feature
Pin It I will admit, I am a bit of a brownie snob. I like milk chocolatey brownies with no add-ins. I don’t want nuts, chocolate chips or candy messing up my brownies. Plain and simple is the best. My brownies must be soft and chewy and have that perfect, soft, top crust. I like [...]

This past week, things changed and we made up for lost time! Over the last seven days, we have used our Frigidaire Symmetry Double Oven to [...]
Our Favorite Cutout Sugar Cookie Recipe
It just dawned on me that of all the years I’ve been blogging, I have never shared our absolute favorite recipe for cutout sugar cookies. I think the reason is, I never have an end picture. Either it’s dark by the time we are totally done decorating or we’ve eaten them all already, but for [...]

Breakstone’s Holiday Showdown {Dessert Recipe: Baked Apple Brulee}
Part three of the Breakstone’s Holiday Showdown had us creating a delicious holiday dessert recipe featuring Breakstone’s sour cream. I love dessert and I especially love over indulging during the holidays, but sometimes it just feels like there is too much food all the time. I kept this in mind when I created my holiday [...]
