A few months ago, my grandma was cleaning out her pantry cupboard and came across this recipe for Sour Cream Cookies. Though the combination of sour cream and cookie sounded strange to me, I was intrigued. Grams went on to tell me how her mother used to make these cookies frequently. That decided it! I […]
Watermelon Lime Sorbet
I bought a full size gigantic watermelon at the market. No big deal, right? It was on sale, I hadn’t yet gotten my summer watermelon fix, and the temperatures were skyrocketing. Perfect choice. The only problem? I bought this enormous hunk of fruit for just the two of us. Yep, that’s right. A whole watermelon […]
Cheesy Chicken & Peppers Sandwich
We were both hungry for dinner, but neither of us had a concise idea for what to prepare. Chicken sounded good. It always does. So I defrosted a few small boneless chicken tenderloins. We had lots of fresh peppers in the fridge and a new-to-us type of cheese–white cheddar. At first I was thinking “patty […]
Peanut Butter S’mores
You may have noticed one of those S’mores was not like the other. If you didn’t, here’s an upclose encounter with the best addition the s’more has ever seen. PEANUT BUTTER. Graham crackers with peanut butter is one of my favorite snacks. Chocolate and peanut butter is my all-time favorite combination. Thus, spreading peanut butter […]

Eggplant, Sausage and Peppers {Italian Style}
In my refrigerator sat a beautiful eggplant, just asking to be eaten. I don’t always never know how I’m going to use an eggplant when I buy it. For some reason it’s one of the more unique vegetables (although I’m fairly certain it’s a fruit) and doesn’t naturally lend itself to versatility. But maybe that’s because […]
Indoor S’mores
Whenever we go camping, s’mores are the top of my priority list. Packing those 3 tasty ingredients is one thing I have never forgotten to do. My husband and I like to compete over who roasts the better marshmallow. The best part? I get to eat all of the results! Score! We returned home from […]
Mango Nectarine Sorbet
On a scorching hot day, I was craving something sweet and something very cold. Ice cream was the obvious choice, but with no heavy cream in the refrigerator, I started looking for other options. There was a fresh mango on my counter–not quite enough for sorbet. But there was a drawer full of nectarines as […]

Candy Bar Cookies
I wanted to make cookies to thank our awesome neighbors for taking care of our cats every time we leave town. It’s a blessing to know we’re leaving our animals in such good hands. As I started brainstorming cookie ideas, I spotted the Snickers Bar staring at me from the refrigerator door. Hmm. Snickers in […]
