If you love oatmeal cookies, try this quick and satisfying breakfast. While the meal itself is great, I’m not going to lie, I think the house smell might be the best part. An hour after we have finished I can still smell the waft of heavenly aromas in the air. If you’re looking for an …
I eat Hummus on a regular basis, and whenever I can I try to make it at home instead of buying it. Hummus is such a great appetizer or anytime dip for veggies and chips. Bringing homemade Hummus to a party is always appreciated, and people seem to think it’s much harder to make than …
Holy torpedo batman, this berry sour-cream crumble pie is dynamite! If you love berries, you can’t go wrong with this tangy, sweet, and tart pie – packed with flavors and comfort.

Move over French Fries, these crispy, tangy, herb-y potatoes are here to take your place. While they do take a while to cook, the smells alone are enough to make the wait worth it. For an hour and a half your home will have the aroma of garlicky potatoes and herbs. I don’t know about …

This Lasagna recipe was one of my first successes with my picky husband. It’s low-fat, tastes great, and can be modified to include any of your favorite veggies. The Hubs as I call him – well, as I started calling him as of right… now… is a fairly picky eater. Usually, his best compliment on …
Let me stop you right now if you’re looking for something with pineapple and ham in it. If that’s what you’re looking for – this ain’t that. We routinely eat at a place called “L & L barbecue” with some of our friends who are from Hawaii. That’s when I first tried this addicting, flavor …
