Whole Wheat Pumpkin Scone Recipe

Grandma Eva’s Peanut Brittle Recipe

I will always think of my husband’s Grandma Eva whenever I taste a good peanut brittle. She makes it just right and yet somehow can never admit that it is just perfect. Grandma Eva lives in a new place where she doesn’t have access to a kitchen and was unable to bring her counted-on-peanut-brittle to […]

These turned out really yummy, the only one in the family who didn’t really care for them was Aidan whom we are discovering doesn’t really like chocolate (I don’t see how that’s possible, but I guess it’s better for him anyway right?!) I will definitely make these again.?

Spiced Cider - Adele

I made this for our Christmas Eve dinner and it turned out really good. I like it because I am not too crazy about all the spices in some spiced cider recipes, this one is a little more mild than some of the others. I actually just put all the ingredients in a crockpot and […]
