  • Zucchini Bread

    To this day, the only way Hailey will eat zucchini is if it’s baked into this bread and we have her sweet grandmother to thank for that. My mother in law baked the best zucchini bread; it was probably her signature dessert that also easily doubles as breakfast or an afternoon snack. She wrote the…

  • Caribbean Style Chicken

    This recipe is from my newlywed days and a direct result of our honeymoon in Jamaica. We stayed at a Secrets resort right in Montego Bay where a chef grilled the best Jamaican jerk chicken by the pool every afternoon. We know, because we stood in line for that chicken every day and when the…

  • Rhubarb Pie

    Are you a pie person or a cake person? If you said neither, I hope it’s because you’re an ice cream person. For me, it’s been pie for as long as I can remember. To this day, I haven’t met someone who can bake better pies than my Grandma. She taught me how to bake…

    Broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl. That’s Hailey’s order every time she goes to Panera Bread. Then I stumbled upon this copycat recipe for her favorite soup and now I’m thinking we really don’t

  • Classic Mashed Potatoes

    I’m totally making the mashed potatoes for Easter this year. I stumbled upon a blog recently with a post titled the best mashed potatoes; it’s a bold statement, but let me tell you I’ve made these potatoes four times since and the claim is true…they are the best mashed potatoes ever! We’re hosting Easter at…

  • Superfoods Soup

    When I come across a new song I like I do this thing where I listen to it over and over. Anyone else?

Oh wait….yep, I meant Valentine’s day which is this Thursday 🙂 Speaking of President’s day though, all you bankers and state employees enjoy that holiday off work! It’s a good thing I really like
