Fun and Food for Halloween I remember when my son was really little and he was so terrified of Halloween decorations when we were out trick-or-treating. Some folks love Halloween and really go all out making their homes as scary as possible. Sometimes it’s a little over the top and can be pretty traumatic for…

Orange Creamsicle Fruit Salad
All about that fluff I love me some no-bake fluff salads. They are light, refreshing and quick to make. I’ve shared a number of them here on the blog over the last few years: Southern Ambrosia, Cherry Pie Fluff, Pistachio Fluff, Weight Watchers Orange Fluff and Pineapple Fluff. They all pretty much start with COOL…
Lemon Raspberry Poke Cake
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…

Sweet Southern Pecan Bread
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. …
No Bake Preacher Cookies
Preacher Cookies? This is just one of many names this little cookie has been given over the years. My mother-in-law, Chris, used to just call them ‘No-Bakes’ and one of my co-workers called them ‘Spoon Cookies’. I’ve always referred to them as Preacher Cookies or No-Bake Preacher Cookies. The story being that if you found…
