Recipes for the busy cook!
Stuck in the middle I have always felt like I have had a foot in two worlds. My Dad is from Wisconsin and my Mom is from Alabama. A little southern, a little northern and we live smack dab in the middle of both – in Virginia. So I grew up eating lots of traditional…
It started with one… Back in 2012, I shared a recipe on here for Banana Pudding Poke Cake (my first attempt at a pudding poke cake was this Oreo Pudding Poke Cake). It was a take on those classic Jello Poke Cakes from the 70’s. That recipe took off like a fireball. Pinterest came along…

Amish? Yes. No. Maybe? So, full disclosure: I have no idea if this is a true Amish recipe. What exactly makes a recipe ‘Amish’? Is there a set of guidelines or rules for this category of food? All I know is that, in general, if a recipe title starts with the word ‘Amish’, we automatically…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The Little Potato Company. The opinions and text are all mine. Sweet and Sour Little Potatoes I’m calling these delicious morsels from heaven ‘Sticky Potatoes’ but you could actually call them Sweet & Sour Potatoes or Sesame Potatoes or whatever you’d like. I got…

Super simple stromboli This next recipe is being brought to you by a special kiddo named Skye. He is my friend Amanda’s boy and he is probably one of my biggest fans so naturally I am completely partial to him. Ha! He really loves the blueberry jam I make (which I need to get him…
I don’t like beer I’m just gonna throw that out there. I know it is totally not trendy to not like beer. But there you have it. I am completely un-hipster because I don’t enjoy PBR or small batch microbrews. I really have tried. And I keep trying since everyone seems to have that one…

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Sir Bananas. The opinions and text are all mine. That’s Bananas I love a good fruit cobbler. Especially in the summer. There’s just something about those fresh summer fruits topped with a fluffy cake-like topping. But what about bananas? I mean, it’s a given…
Thanks Grandma This next recipe comes straight outta my Grandma Betty’s handwritten recipe book. This little red book was actually hand-bound by my Dad when he was in high school.

Southern cornbread salad is traditionally served in a big trifle dish with a dressing of mayonnaise and sour cream. We are going to take cornbread…
Amazing, Yummy, The Best Those are all adjectives that could describe this dessert. It really isn’t fair to call it a bread. But nevertheless, that has always been the recipe title and I’m sticking to protocol for nostalgia sake. It is tender, sweet and of course, nutty. 🙂 And it slices up beautifully for serving. …
Crock Pot Weather It has definitely turned hawt in Virginia! So, it is now officially that time of year when slow cooker (crock pot) meals outnumber any other type of meal I make. It keeps the heat down in the house and it’s just easier to make and easier to clean up. So I’ve included…
