What better way to spend an afternoon together than baking in the kitchen?!?! Not only did Carrie and I make a recipe we’ve been wanting to make, but we got to do it together, in the same kitchen!!!

For a long time you’ve read about me cooking with my niece who lives out east. Well, I had the wonderful treat to have her cook right next to me in my kitchen!

Strawberry Pie

Is there any other taste that just screams summer?!?! Those first berries straight from the strawberry farm are always the best! What better way to eat those lovely berries than to put them into pie?! I think I was 16 when I came across the BEST strawberry pie at a party. The gal that made……

Magnolia Table’s Lemon & Lavender Icebox Cookies

This cake is so pretty! I found this recipe on a blog called Bakersaurus. Here’s the link to the recipe: https://thebakersaurus.wordpress.com/2020/06/08/oreo-drip-cake/ So, I’m going to be honest, I totally skipped making the cake from scratch. I used a box mix.

Buttery Parmesan Sourdough Discard Crackers

Mel’s Taco Casserole

In college, I volunteered at a domestic violence shelter. At our volunteer potluck, I tried this dish. Mel (who had brought it) was kind enough to share his recipe with all of us. As we all do with recipes, I’ve changed it a bit, but I think that’s just what happens over the years with……
