When I think about chocolate chip cookies, it’s impossible not to smile. My thoughts are flooded with images of childhood. Sitting on the counter licking the beater, my mom carrying two big plates full of warm cookies to the living room. One plate full of cookies with nuts for my Daddy, and one without nuts…
Butternut squash is one of my favorite ingredients year-round. I use it regularly to make a breakfast hash with some sausage and topped with a fried egg. I love working with this squash because you can go in so many different directions, flavor wise.
The tenth anniversary of my diagnosis of Crohn’s disease is quickly approaching. This month, however, is right about the time it hit me. I’ve written about that before, so I won’t go into those details. What I do need to talk about is the severity of this disease and it’s complications. Every year around this…

I am a firm believer that finger foods are one of God’s gifts to busy mothers. There is simply nothing more convenient than a good finger food when you are starving on the run. And mothers are always always on the run. I can honestly tell you that there are many days when my little ones…
Stop what you are doing and go look in your freezer. See that bag of over-ripe bananas that you have been saving since the resurrection? Yeah, the ones you wanted to make banana bread with but have never found the motivation? Go ahead and get that out, because i’ve got your motivation right here. Cinnamon…
Cheddar Bay Biscuits. They are pretty much the number one reason I ever wanted to go to Red Lobster. Unless it happened to be that special time of the year for endless shrimp. Josh and I look forward to that all year long. I can stuff my face with some coconut shrimp and pina colada…
