Avocado Aioli

Have you ever played whack-a-mole… without your hands? Spoken a word without your mouth? I had the coolest experience this weekend at the TAASLP (Tennessee Association for Audiologists and Speech-Language Pathologists) convention in Murfreesboro, TN. That translates to 2 days in a swanky hotel with free chocolate chip cookies and an all day coffee …

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 …

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 …

Carrot Bites

A lady from church recently gave me the idea to try these protein packed gluten-free carroty snacks. They only require a bit of chopping and throwing ingredients into a blender, so this is a pretty simple and healthy snack to assemble. Some other places have been calling these “carrot cake bites” and I can …

Banana Coco-Chai Smoothie

Love chai? Chocolate? (Who doesn’t?) Here we go: my favorite breakfast smoothie. A supremely unique flavor, kind of chocolatey and fruity and spicy all at once in a way that completely works. Justin was also a big fan. Incidentally, it’s perfect to bring along to those 4 hour summer classes I’m currently taking… …

Latkes (Potato Pancakes)

I love cooked breakfast foods. But really, I like breakfast foods at about 11:00am, because it takes me a while to wake up and become functional enough in the mornings to cook. (That’s why Saturdays are so awesome.) Every other day of the week, when I can’t afford the luxury of taking so much …

Sausage Gravy

Sausage grave takes me all the way back to 1983, West Virginia, at my future in-laws house. I went with my future husband to meet his parents for Thanksgiving break. It was a 14 hour trip from college and I was very nervous about meeting them for the first time. I soon discovered that …

Summer Salsa

This is my all time favorite salsa recipe! I started making it 10 or more years ago when we were living in Kentucky. In our community, there were a large number of Amish people who had the most amazing produce. I could buy a bushel of tomatoes that were “seconds” (meaning not the pretty ones …

Sweet Pickles

My husband and I watch the Andy Griffith show nearly every night! We know the show so well that we quote lines to each other before they are said and we see Andy moments all the time in our every day life. So if you know anything about the Andy Griffith show, you probably remember …

Goat Cheese & Herb Fondue

I love great buys. I recently found a brand new fondue pot with liquid fuel and cute little jabbing sticks included for only $5 at a thrift store. How can you say no to that? I was pretty excited about bringing it home to Justin. We immediately arranged a fondue date. But the thing is, …
