German Red Cabbage (Rotkohl)
Food is an important part of family. We identify certain types of food with certain family gatherings, or simply certain family members. I will be honest, I never had German Red Cabbage until I married my husband, Andy. My family heritage is from Sweden and England and most often, it was mostly the Swedish side…
Homemade Doughnuts
In the summer of 1999, I did a study abroad trip in Israel through Brigham Young University. We lived at the BYU Jerusalem Center which had a cafeteria with a head chef named Nasser. Every so often he would treat us to doughnuts. Near the end of our stay he taught a cooking class of…
Chocolate Chip Cookies
I know what you are thinking. Does the world need another chocolate chip cookie recipe? I don’t know the answer to that. I do know that I want the world to have THIS chocolate chip cookie recipe because it is, hands down, my favorite. It has all that I love about a chocolate chip cookie.…
Grasshopper Fluff
The classic combination of mint and Oreos is hard to resist, at least for me anyway. I am not sure where the term grasshopper came from to name this classic combo, but we all know what it is. One of the staples that I craved with every pregnancy was a grasshopper milk shake. I like…
Taco Seasoning
I stopped buying packets of taco seasoning a few years ago. I thought, “I have a cupboard full of seasoning, I should be able to make this myself.” You know what? I was right! It takes just a few minutes – yes, a few more than it does to open a packet – but it…
Homemade Oreo Cookies
Oreos are America’s favorite cookie, right? That’s what I’ve always heard. It’s number four on the Huffpost’s list of America’s Favorite Cookies. Also, how many people turn down an Oreo? Not me! Original, double stuff, golden, mint, fudge, there are so many to choose from, and honestly, they are mostly all good. I say mostly…
Snickerdoodles
Snickerdoodles are one of my favorite cookies. They are simple but SO good. If you haven’t made them, don’t wait another second. This recipe is easy and you most likely have everything you need in your pantry. The one ingredient that makes snickerdoodles unique is cream of tartar. Cream of tartar is a form of…
Air Fryer Chicken Thighs
I know you have heard me sing praises about the air fryer (click to see the one I own) so I won’t go on and on here, but really, you should be cooking your meat in the air fryer! It is so easy and fast and best of all – the meat comes out tender…
Scalloped Potatoes
I feel like this is an old dish in the sense that you just don’t see or hear of people eating scalloped potatoes a whole lot anymore. I remember eating them all the time at my Grandparents house. My sister, mom and I lived with my grandparents for a couple years when we first moved…
Blueberry Coffee Cake
Are you a breakfast cake kind of person? I love a good coffee cake, one with a little something new and a little something we are all used to – if that’s what you’re interested in, this cake delivers. This cake is moist and fluffy, with blueberries scattered throughout and a crumble topping that will…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
