Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Right now, I know everything is all about the pumpkin. You can find pumpkin spice in just about anything…from Cheerios to coffee to chili. But, let’s talk about another fall item that is equally as delicious: apples! These Gruyere apple butter crescents combine delicious homemade apple butter, sliced apples and delicious Gruyere cheese.

We are definitely in the thick of summer around here. From 100 degree days spent by at the pool to running inside to get away from afternoon thunderstorms, it is definitely the best time to be enjoying all that summer has to offer. Of course, it wouldn’t be summer without the absolute best summer treats to enjoy each and every day.

Summertime is here! The kids are out of school, the days are long and it is hot hot hot outside. I still enjoy having a glass of wine the evening but, sometimes, on the super hot days, I prefer a cold wine slushie instead.
The other day, the kids were enjoying their popsicles and I had my wine slushie and thought how awesome it would be to combine the two. And so, wine slushie popsicles were born.

During the hot weather months, I absolutely hate turning on the oven. No bake recipes are totally the way I want to go…especially when it comes to my desserts where you tend to bake them for a long period of time. Thankfully, I can make no bake turtle cheesecake and my kitchen stays nice and cool.

A few years ago, whoopie pies made a come back. I absolute love them and was so excited to see them in more bakeries. I even bought myself a whoopie pie pan to make them at home! My other love: Texas style sheet cake. I broke out my pan the other day and decided to combine them and make Texas sheet cake whoopie pies.

No matter what kind of day you have had, there is nothing better than a warm, gooey brownie. My current favorite are these rolo brownies which have the perfect amount of drool worthy caramel mixed in with traditional fudgy brownies.

My kids love freeze dried fruit. From raspberries to bananas, they eat a ton of it (in addition to fresh fruit, of course). The absolute best place to get it near us is Trader Joe’s so we spend a fair amount of time there buying fruit. Of course, no trip to Trader Joe’s is complete without cookie butter.
