We received a frantic text from our daughter who is away at college a few weeks ago. She saw that supposedly this year there might be a shortage on canned pumpkin and she didn’t want us to be without. I’m pretty sure I hear this every year. I have decided that is a rumor started […]
Bacon Cheeseburger Tater Tot Casserole
I had the biggest case of writer’s block trying to think of something to talk about in this post. Our hearts have been so heavy this weekend. The victims, families of the victims and people of Paris are in our thoughts and prayers in the wake of the absolute evil that took place there. I […]
Zesty Ranch Dip
We make a lot of dips in our house. This is an old standby that I have been making for years. This dip doesn’t have a lot of ingredients and they are ones that I usually have on hand. The longer it sits the better. I like to combine all of the ingredients the day […]
Black Bean and Pumpkin Chili
You can’t have too many chili recipes. Am I right? I love a hearty chili and this one with the addition of pumpkin, makes it a perfect dinner before your little ones head out trick or treating. Our youngest informed me that this will be her last year trick or treating. I’m a little sad […]

Copycat Freddy’s French Fry Sauce
When my mayo-hating brother and I were kids, I used to gross him out. I loved mixing mayo and ketchup together and using it as a dip for my french fries. As far as I was concerned it couldn’t be beat. When I grew up and discovered Fry Sauce at Freddy’s, let’s just say I […]
Sweet & Salty Caramel Snack Mix
Our oldest daughter, who is in her sophomore year at The University of Kansas was having a bit of a stressful week a couple of weeks ago. As a parent you feel so helpless that you’re not there to help them, but you also know that it is part of growing up. I wanted to […]
