St. Lucia~Sandals~La Toc
So my husband and I traveled the world in our minds while planning our 10th anniversary. France, Las Vegas, Yellowstone, Ireland they all made the list but after looking into all of them I realized that at this time in our lives we needed a vacation where the two of us could just be “us”. Our schedules are filled with football, school, two boys, and …
Cinnamon Rolls
This morning I woke up and the rain was falling outside and it was the perfect morning for some cinnamon rolls. The boys climbed up to the counter and we started baking.

Chicken Enchiladas
Enchiladas I am not the biggest fan of Mexican food. I like tacos and margaritas but that’s about it. My husband loves enchiladas and I figured I should give them a try.

Gorgonzola Cheese Bread
The first time I made this I wasn’t sure if I would like it. I am not a huge Gorgonzola cheese fan but my husband is so I figured how bad can it be. OH MY! The first bite was heaven. I did use my own homemade Italian bread and I have to say I have made it using store bought Italian bread and it …
Italian Bread
Anyone who knows me knows I could live on bread, cheese, and potatoes!! I know they are not the best choices but I just can’t help it! I love making bread. There is nothing like watching it rise and the smell that drifts from the oven as it bakes. I think people get really nervous about making bread but it really is easy!!! It just takes …

Ingredients 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1 stick of …

When I got married my mother had my grandmother write down some of her “famous” recipes and I am so grateful she did. Not only can my kids enjoy the same goodies I did but I get to look at a beautiful handwritten recipe. Who knew …
