With a large family, having bread with meals is a great “filler” that is delicious, but also helps fill folks up and stay on budget. A favorite in our house is a copycat Red Lobster Cheddar Biscuits recipe! I love cheddar biscuits because you don’t have to worry about them rising, and they only take a few […]
The concept of freezer cooking with a slow cooker is the same as any other freezer cooking: you prep lots of meals all at one time and freeze them, making it really easy to pull a meal out and have dinner ready super quickly. With freezer cooking for a slow cooker, however, you don’t have […]
We got home from a trip recently and our fruit bowl was full of bananas that were not spoiled, but past the point of being able to peel them and eat them without making a huge globby mess. I’m sure you’ve been there before! Whenever this happens, I almost always make banana bread or muffins. […]
I don’t know about you, but I have a preference when it comes to chocolate chip cookies—I want them to be chewy. Most cookies are chewy right when they come out of the oven, but then they become crispy once they cool. This chewy chocolate chip cookie recipe, though, is chewy the whole time, both […]

I’m on a mission to stock my freezer, by thinking outside the box and doing some less traditional freezer options. One thing I wanted to try was frozen pizzas. I knew I could make more delicious pizza than store bought. We love homemade pizza night, and regularly make our own dough for it, but of […]
What kid doesn’t love chicken nuggets? Mine aren’t picky at all and will eat pretty much whatever kind I find on sale at the store. There’s not much easier than popping a pan of dino nuggets in the oven. It’s actually not that tricky to make your own chicken nuggets and they are much higher […]
Every other week we get a produce basket from our local produce co-op. This is the only way I buy produce, but it does have a few surprises that will get thrown in—like every 3rd or 4th co-op we will come home with 20+ jalapeno peppers!?! That’s about 20 more than my mouth can handle, […]
Looking for a classic meatloaf for a yummy dinner? I love this meatloaf recipe because it’s simple and makes TWO meatloaves that you can stick in the freezer. It comes together so easily, and the payoff is completely worth it. The last time we had this, a few kids weren’t super excited, so I pulled […]
