Summer is in full swing and the produce is fresh and sweet! Nothing says Summer like beautiful sweet corn, just harvested, so tasty. Growing up we would eat corn on the cob by the bag full! We made anything and everything with corn. I am so excited to be creating my own recipes now with my family. I told my husband I have a soup idea and every ingredient I wanted in it, then made it right away. This creamy potato, chicken, corn chowder is impressively delicious and healthy! Toss some asparagus tips in there, top with bacon and fresh parmesan…. let the fireworks begin!

Valentine’s delight! These delicious and adorable mini Bundt cakes packed with fresh strawberries are the perfect treat for this sweet day! They came out exactly as I imagined them. When thinking what dessert to post for Valentine’s day, I envisioned sweet little mini strawberry cakes with a rich glaze, darling little fresh strawberries on top, and a pop of elegance with pearl sprinkles.

Lovely Lemon Shortbread Wreath Cookies are the perfect Christmas delight! The lemon zest in the shortbread and lemon glaze makes your taste buds dance, and the frosted rosemary and thyme makes your eyes dream of Winter wonderlands!

Cinnamon bars! What a heavenly treat - like brownies but with cinnamon instead of chocolate, dense, moist and chewy. The best part is that they are super easy to make. These delightfully delicious cinnamon bars may be our new favorite dessert for holidays and all year round!

A delicious, sweet, tangy and warm cup of Chili for cold day is just about as delightful as it gets. Tis’ the season to cozy up by the fire and make comfort food that makes tummies happy and families gather around! Chili is a favorite around here, especially for my husband who grew up in Texas. Cornbread on the side is also a must! I have spent a couple years back in the day perfecting my made from scratch Chili recipe. I was tired of using store bought packets that lacked good taste. It took time, patience and testing of many flavors to make this recipe just right!

Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin! Oh my heavens is pumpkin a beautiful thing! Pumpkin loaded oatmeal muffins complete with mouth-watering pumpkin spice and a hint of brown sugar is a dreamy Fall treat. Every ingredient compliments the other perfectly.. I wouldn’t even alter a thing! Our family’s favorites are any form of breakfast cake with coffee. These muffins are sure to make your day even tastier!

Mmmm… Stuffed Bell Peppers are a classic dish and a staple in our home! The aroma of garlic and onion throughout the house is so nostalgic. I love this dish because it is veggie loaded, so healthy and so tasty!

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies are my favorite cookie of all time! This classic cookie is full of flavor with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. There is something nostalgic about oatmeal cookies. I love sitting by a fire with some coffee or tea and my favorite “oat cakes” as the girls call them.

We LOVE Chinese food, especially when we can make it in 30 minutes or less! This easy Orange Chicken recipe is a pan-fried version of the traditional deep-fried Orange Chicken often found in Chinese restaurants. We love to serve it with Jasmine rice or fried rice. This recipe has just the perfect blend of ingredients that gives it an impressive burst of flavor.
