    Caramel Dipping Sauce (Two Ingredients)

    I was craving caramel today, but I've never made caramel sauce from scratch and frankly, today was not the day I was going to start. I wanted an easy Caramel Dipping Sauce. One that I could whip up relatively quickly and would be thick and gooey and perfectly caramel-y. Then it dawned on me, I do have a quick caramel sauce and it's soo good!

  • Update: Still as good as ever! This Family Irish Bread is a tried and true recipe that won’t disappoint. One that we've been baking for years in our family. Highly recommended! Serve it with Honey Butter for a truly delicious snack. Both recipes on the blog.⁠

    Family Irish Bread

    Anytime my aunt is comes to town, fresh Family Irish Bread, is a guarantee. She bakes loaves of it and it is amazing, as is she, amazing that is! Call this a bit of an ode to Ele (my aunt). She is like a second mom to me. She's the aunt I can confide in, scheme with and is always there to help. My aunt drops everything and comes to the rescue of any of her family members, especially her nieces and nephews. In fact, she flew to Georgia for a month-long visit to watch our toddler while I was in labour…

    Easy Barbecue Sauce

    I may miss my hometown like crazy somedays, but I think it's safe to say the barbecue down here is a fantastic consolation prize! I'm a huge fan! The smoked meat itself is so good, but adding a tasty sauce takes it over the top. When I came across this recipe for Easy Barbecue Sauce in our family cookbook, I was excited to give it a try. I've never made barbecue sauce from scratch before, but as it turns out, it's way easier than I thought. And I already had all the ingredients, score! And you know what else, it was delicious!

  • Shocked. Stunned. Surprised that a can of pinto beans and a little seasoning is all it takes for Easy Refried Beans. And they're delicious! I've never been a fan of refried beans but this version is the best I've tried and I would gladly trade in the meat for this tasty vegetarian version!

    Easy Refried Beans (Two Ingredients)

    I was chatting with my best friend one night and happened to ask what they were having for dinner. She said tostadas, I asked a few more questions. And found out that her son only liked his tostadas with Easy Refried Beans. I didn't believe her. I mean, I don't know any kid that would choose beans over taco meat. Personally, beans have never been my go-to. Usually, I just leave them on my plate or push them around until the waiter finally comes and takes it all away. Make them at home? No way, so not my thing.

  • A craveable copycat wrap for a lunchtime win! Honestly, I don't make wraps very often. But this Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wrap has me making the rolled sandwich on repeat. Turkey, cheddar, lettuce, cranberries and cream cheese, get wrapped together and dipped in a sweet onion vinaigrette to create an undeniably delicious lunch!

    Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps (Boars Head copycat)

    I have the Kroger Deli to thank for this recipe. Our family goes through just shy of two pounds of luncheon meat a week. My husband loves the Boars Head Blackened Turkey, the boys and I love honey ham or pastrami if I'm feeling really indulgent (it's my fav). One busy Saturday morning, I was out doing the weekly grocery run. The line up with a little longer than usual, so I browsed the pre-made sandwiches and there it was Sierra Turkey Cranberry Wraps.

  • I'm sure you know the theme song to Married with Children, right? Would you believe it's the inspiration for these White Chocolate Orange Muffins? I got the theme song stuck in my head and by chance changed the words "love and marriage" to orange and chocolate and knew at that moment I needed to create a recipe that combined the two. These muffins are bursting with orange flavour and just the right amount of chocolate, a must bake!

    White Chocolate Orange Muffins

    My friends, these White Chocolate Orange Muffins are delicious. You may laugh at me, but this blog post started out all backwards. You see, I normally decide what I want to create, test the recipe, photograph said recipe, write the blog post and then figure out social media. Now, in this case, it started with social media.

    Greek Pasta Salad

    I found this recipe for Greek Pasta Salad in a stack of old recipes I was gifted from my Grandma. When my grandmother moved into an assisted living home, my aunt, my uncle and my dad were tasked with selling her house. We were each asked if there was anything we'd like from grandma's home as a keepsake. I knew immediately, what my heart was set on. It was her handwritten recipe cards. And it is a gift I will forever treasure.
