Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipes
Thanksgiving preparations are well under way. If you are hosting your family’s feast you have probably spent time researching any needed recipes last week. But, to my horror, I heard a radio talk show today saying everyone should attempt a new recipe this year. Now, I am not the most organized hostess in the world […]
Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes Recipe
We have been trying to make these pumpkin spice cupcakes for a couple of weeks and this weekend we finally got around to it! They were very easy to make because we used a box cake mix but they took a whole lot longer to cook in the oven than I expected. I must admit […]
Camping with my Crock Pot and Recipes
I survived! This past weekend, this single mom took three kids camping with my son’s Boy Scout Den. Granted, I wasn’t completely alone in the wilderness with them, and I had help setting up the tent. It was definitely a mild version of true camping, but that was exactly what I was looking for. I […]
Cool Weather Recipes
Now that we are firmly in fall and the temperature outside has started to noticeably cool, it’s time to start thinking about the changing the dinners we make to fit the changing season. Sure, there’s never a bad time for some dishes (pizza comes to mind) but other dishes are just so much better when […]

On Thanksgiving morning, it’s traditional in my home for the kids to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade on television while my husband and I scramble around getting everything ready. This year, though, I think I might involve my pre-teens and teenager in the preparations. Even little kids like to help out in the kitchen, […]
November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month
Did you know that the month of November is Peanut Butter Lovers Month? Americans love their peanut butter, and it is estimated that as a country, we’ll consume over 65 million pounds of it during the month of November alone. The first patent for peanut butter, which went to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, was applied […]
Healthy Family Snacks for Game time
Sunday is family night for us. Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and close friends all come together for football. Of course, on the night of the biggest game of the year the food and the parting is even bigger! In the last couple of weeks we have been adjusting our diet choices quite a bit and are […]
Meatless Monday Crock Pot Recipe: Zucchini Ziti
Back on the menu planning bandwagon… this week is presented with a request for attention to healthier recipes. Now, I will be honest, I gave this entirely too much thought. DO NOT fall into that trap. I don’t know about you when the time I give something too much thought is exactly the time it […]
