We did Christmas Eve different this year. I wanted a fun drink for everyone to enjoy. This non-alcoholic mocktail was a hit at both family gatherings. 

A kid friendly mocktail that brings the holiday cheer to another level. My children love a good shirley Temple. However, I am trying to limit the amount of red dye in our diet. I tried out this recipe and it tastes better than the orginal.

I found my mom’s recipe for cocoa brownies. Seeing her hand writing sent a wave of emotion over me. I remember when she gave the recipe to me. She knew I was trying to purchase less pre packaged food and make more food from scratch. 

Nothing sounds I love you like corn beef. I don’t know what it is about corn beef that makes it taste so good. But dang is it expensive! Therefore, corn beef is a rare occasion in this house. 

Are you trying to save money at the grocery store, but love your flavored coffee syrups?Try this simple brown sugar syrup, it is quick and easy to make. Saves you money and tastes great. 

Quick and easy homemade chocolate syrup. This recipe is simple and uses ingredients you have on in your kitchen. 

The best part about making your own granola is, you get to control the ingredients. This is especially handy when you or someone you love has a food allergy. This recipe is quick and easy. Check out our favorite chocolatey granola. 

Nothing makes me happier than spending time with my kids in the kitchen. I love to help encourage their skill in the kitchen. Along with teaching them the value of cooking/baking for themselves. It never fails whenever we hang out in the kitchen that laughter follows. Usually behind a huge mess. But hey, not a big deal.

Happy Fall Y’all.While everyone else is running around yelling pumpkin spice this or that, I'm over here screaming give me the apples. One of my favorite fall treats to make is Apple Crisps or Apple Crumble. Heck it is the same thing as long as there are no Oats in it. Right? 

Do you know that you need some healthy fats in your diet? If you are anything like me, you probably thought a low-fat diet was a great idea. but the reality of the situation is low-fat foods are worse for you. When you talk low-fat foods the ingredients that have removed are the healthy fats. But here's is where the problem lies. Manufacturers have replaced the fat with refined sugar. Which is way worse for you.
