It's addictive and creamy with just the right amount of sweetness. The perfect way to celebrate those special women in your life.

    World’s Best Fruit Dip (Two Ingredients)

    This is hands down the World's Best Fruit Dip out there. At least in my opinion. It's creamy, sweet and the absolute best match for fresh fruit. You'll see some imposters out there claiming to be amazing, but I can assure you they have NOT tried this one. It's like a little bowlful of cream cheese with just the right amount of sweetness from the marshmallow creme.

  • I'm embarrassed to tell you how many hours I've spent trying to find this recipe online. Mini Cheese Biscuits, may not be exactly Jim 'n Nicks famous biscuits, but they are close enough that my family ate an entire batch in one afternoon. Give them a try and let me know how close you think they are!

    Mini Cheese Biscuits (Jim n Nick’s copycat)

    Since moving to the South, I've been loving the barbecue out here! It's so so good. We pick up a tasty smoked meal from Jim n Nick's at least once a month, but my favourite is the Mini Cheese Biscuits you get with your order. They're insane! So good! There are never any left. They disappear like hotcakes. It's a must! I decided with the world shut down and our family cooped up in our cozy home, it was time to recreate these biscuits.

  • 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.

    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.
