Recipes for the busy cook!
Back-to-school A lot of school districts have already headed back into the new school year. In my part of Virginia, we don’t start until after Labor Day. Of course, we end the school year a little later than surrounding counties too. As parents get into the back-to-school routine, I notice a huge increase in views…
Sherbet Punch Don’t ask me how these recipes get their names. But if you ask any southern Grandma – she’ll know exactly what you are talking about when you mention ‘Presbyterian Punch’. I assume it got its name from being served at any and all church functions. As a Presbyterian myself, I’m happy to lay…
Dig in! Have we got an amazing weekend potluck for you today! We’ve got a little sweet and a little savory! Our most popular recipe from last week did not link back within their post so the second runner up was actually from our very own Tina at Mommy’s Kitchen! Her recipe is her Ma…
Yee haw…here we go In 2005, we packed our bags and headed to Texas. My husband was in the Navy and that was to be our new duty station for the next two years. Our son was only 6 weeks old at the time and we drove across country with our newborn. We were exhausted…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Bush Brothers & Company . The opinions and text are all mine. Farmer’s Market finds I am really fortunate to live in a small city with a great farmer’s market. It is busy and hopping in the summer time! We have an adorable main…

Thanks to my Mom-in-law When I first traveled to Indiana to visit my husband’s parents for the very first time, everyone told me they loved my mother-in-law’s (Chris’s) salmon patties. Especially my father-in-law! They were his favorite. She also had a shrimp dip recipe that people insisted she make and bring to any party. If…
The humble casserole One of my favorite meals as a kid was a chicken casserole my Mom made. It was pretty basic: chicken, cream soup and bread crumbs. The recipe I am sharing today is a take on that recipe. But I also added some cooked rice. 🙂 I wanted to stay true to the…

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.

I got…
