Would it be okay to just eat this for dinner? It's got fruit. And bread. And milk. It seems balanced enough. Right?!? I may or may not have been eating this stuff right out of the slow cooker. I think it's the ginger. Don't skip out on the ginger on this one. Frozen peaches plus ginger plus cinnamon. Coated in a little sugar. With a cakey topping that 'bakes' on top in … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Cherry Cake
Yes, only 3 ingredients. If you don't count the ice cream or whipped cream that you could add to the top. To all my friends that we'll BBQ with this summer, I'll be bringing this every time. :) 2 cans of cherry pie filling. (I used 2 cans because I used my slow cooker is a 7 qt. Even in my 6 qt, I'd use 2 cans. I'd probably use 1 can for 4 or 5 qt. … [Read more...]

Being in the backyard with the boys running around, maybe a sprinkler going, smelling the deliciousness coming from the grill, and hearing neighborhood children chatter and play all around us. Love it! Wishing you an enjoyable and memorable Memorial Day as we celebrate and honor all the men & … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Raspberry-Blackberry Crisp
So this started out as a blackberry crisp...then as I started pulling it all together to cook for dessert, it morphed into a blackberry-raspberry cobbler. Crisps usually have oats in them, this one doesn't...it's made with yellow cake mix. This poor dessert recipe is having a bit of an identity crisis - it's part crisp-part cobbler, but really it's a cobbler. But let me … [Read more...]
S’mores Dip
Because it's just too hot to have a fire here in the summer. I know this isn't true for everyone...especially my friends who live up north. Summer evenings are perfect for campfires and s'mores! But if you live in the south like yours truly and the thought of a campfire in the summer makes you want to melt, you can do this instead. A s'mores dip. Made in the slow … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Berry Crisp
Pardon me while I just take the slow cooker insert and just start eating right out of it. Because I thought about it. Then I thought, I should just have this for dinner...the whole thing...all for me. Sometimes I have these "selfish chef" moments...where I want it all to myself, and this....THIS. This is one of those. If it wouldn't look awkward for me to place the slow … [Read more...]

Raspberry Crescent Rolls
I think this photo speaks for these rolls. I don't need to go into how amazing they are. How perfectly sweet, tart and creamy they are. I think you can tell by looking at them. I will however show you how simple it is to make them! Here's a little peak at how these come together...then it's your turn to print the recipe and make them for your people! 3 small bowls … [Read more...]
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
My son Charlie has declared these the perfect Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. He's not a fan of chocolate chip cookies. Which I make often. So I find myself making a batch of oatmeal raisin cookies for Charlie and my husband. (Charlie is Steve's mini-me in so many ways...looks, personality, they are both early bird morning people, they don't like chocolate chip cookies but do like … [Read more...]
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal
Print this out right now, and serve it as an after school snack. Or weekend breakfast...or lunch...or dinner. Or just snack on it all day long. Holy-yum. I don't just love this because it's got chocolate in it...although that is one of the main reasons. I love this because all my kids will eat it. It's kinda like cake...but not quite as sweet and sugar laden. It's … [Read more...]
