Blackberry Cobbler

Last summer, a friend of mine brought me a few bags of blackberries picked at her parents home. While I love the flavor of the berries, I’ve never been a huge fan because of the little seeds in them, but my husband loves them! In fact, I usually have homemade blackberry jelly in the pantry …

Strawberry Pretzel Salad

I have been making strawberry pretzel salad for many years. This recipe doesn’t take very long to put together and is great to make in advance. I have taken it to potlucks and served it with holiday meals. Steve loves strawberry pretzel salad and just requested it a few days ago. Since I have a …

Curried Chicken Salad

At the beginning of the month we decided to pay a visit to a local pick-it-yourself farm, in search of blackberries and peaches, but when we got there we found out that due to unseasonably warm weather, we were too late. All the crops had come in about a month earlier than expected and …

Blueberry Coconut Ice Cream

This is the first in a small series of avocado-infused desserts I’ll be posting. That may sound weird to you. (Fair enough.) But when thinking of avocado in desserts, don’t think of its flavor but of it’s creamy indulgent texture. It’s kind of the same effect you might get from loads of butter and …

Crockpot Apple Butter

Apple butter is one of those tastes and smells that just says “fall is here!” When we lived in Kentucky, it was my yearly fall habit to drive to Bowling Green, KY to spend some time at Jackson’s Orchard. Every September or October, I would take my own children or my class from …

Grape and Apple Salad

Originally, this recipe was just known as “Grape Salad” and that was what I intended when I started to make it. However, there must have been a grape thief in the house because when I went to look for my ingredients, I did not have enough red grapes and I had no green grapes. (The …

Watermelon & Strawberry Lemonade

As it’s the perfect time of year for fun, fruity beverages, here’s my recipe for watermelon and strawberry lemonade. It’s simple with only 3 ingredients, and healthy, since most or all of the sweetness comes from natural sugars in the fruit. Justin and I like pulp, so I didn’t bother to strain it but …

Fruity & Nutty Muffins

Two and a half years ago, my husband had the opportunity to teach and preach in Anchorage, AK. We decided to make a week long vacation out of it and take three of our children. While there, we were blessed to be able to stay in a condo belonging to some friends who were …

Best Ever Banana Pudding

Tonight when all the kids came for dinner, I made the Best Ever Banana Pudding! It is a cool, creamy, no-bake dessert that works perfectly on a summer day! (And it was VERY hot today!) It’s easy to have all the ingredients on hand in your pantry or freezer. I have often taken …

Hummingbird Cake

Maybe the rest of the world already knows what hummingbird cake is. Personally, I’d never heard of it until a couple of years ago when my in-laws mentioned that it was what Justin’s younger sister wanted for her birthday. If you don’t know, this is a deep-south-meets-Jamaica kind of dessert full of nuts, pineapple, …
