Thanksgiving Roundup
Thanksgiving came & went in a blink it felt like. This is my favorite meal of the year, hands down. I have hosted/cooked for so many years now, I feel like I have it down to a science; from the prep, to the timing, to …

Perfectly Simple Potato Salad
I love a potato salad with bells and whistles like the rest of us, but sometimes, simple is better. It is a no-frills, easy and quick recipe. I especially enjoy this at cookouts because there are often so many flavors happening. This offers a refreshing, …
Roast Split Chicken
I was slightly perplexed when my husband came home with split chicken this past week. I had never cooked that before. We often cook chicken breast or a whole roast chicken, so admittedly I didn’t really know what to do with it or what it …
Best Roast Chicken

Chocolate Cookies
I discovered this amazing recipe during winter of 2017 when I saw a bag of Sno Caps in the baking isle of Target. I had never seen them in that form before, just the movie theater style boxes. I always look at the recipe on …
