Another food I was introduced to after moving to Iowa was breakfast pizza. I never would have thought to put breakfast food on a pizza, but it makes for the perfect weekend breakfast treat to share with friends and family. And, if there is any left, slices reheat well and are great for a quick …
I have a HUGE sweet-tooth, and breakfast time is no exception. Since blueberries are delicious this time of year (and they were on sale!), I decided to make this french toast bake. My husband and I ended up bringing it over to my in-laws to share, and everyone loved it. It can be made the …
I may have mentioned before, Scotcheroos are my absolute favorite dessert. But I have to say, these pinwheels are a close second. Oddly enough, I am not a huge marshmallow fan, but these are AMAZING. A coworker of mine brought these in once for a potluck, and I was dying to make them since. They …
When I think summer, I think burgers and barbecues. Burgers are a summertime staple in our house. It’s hard to beat grilled beef burgers; a huge plus being that they are super delicious, easy and quick to make. These are great for weeknights, pool days, get-togethers, and leftovers at work!
Both my husband and dad are OBSESSED with blueberries. And cheesecake. My dad’s birthday was coming up, so of course, blueberry cheesecake was calling my name. And it just so happens that blueberries are in season and delicious right now. I made two mini cheesecakes, and one large one. I am sure glad I did! …
My wonderful friend gave me an Instant Pot as a Christmas gift a few years ago, and boy am I grateful. It has come in handy so many times. Whenever I am in a rush to make dinner and need something whipped up quickly, my Instant Pot is a go to. I have made many …
During the summer, peaches are one of my go to fruits. They are perfect for any time of the day and have such delicious flavor. My husband and I were out of town for a few days, and when we got back, my peaches were beginning to get too soft. Of course I couldn’t let …
I am a lover of all things shrimp. My husband on the other hand, not so much. So, I try to create clever recipes involving shrimp that I know he will still eat. This recipe is one that he absolutely loves. It is the perfect summer dish, especially because it is so easy to grill …
Growing up in a suburb of Chicago, I had never heard of Scotcheroos; nothing even remotely close. And boy, was I missing out! My freshman year at the University of Iowa was life changing for many reasons; one of those being that I was introduced to the legendary Scotcheroo! They are not only delicious, but …
A week after celebrating the Fourth of July, my husband and I STILL had leftover watermelon, and it was bound to go bad if we didn’t use it up. I was trying to think of using it up in a new way. It was another warm, sunny day, so I decided to make a cocktail! …
