This recipe is one of our family favorites. I might say that about most of the recipes I put up here. Lol! Congo bars are a super easy chocolate chip cookie bar that you can whip up in a mixing bowl with simple ingredients and a wooden spoon. Since they are bars, there is less…

Oh, Carrot Cake, Yum!
Carrot Cake has been a long-time celebration cake in my husband’s family. And why not? It’s moist and delicious and wonderful. I always frost mine with a Browned Butter Cream Cheese Frosting that takes it to a whole new level. So yummy! This past weekend at the Schell Sibs Gathering, I snuck out of bed…
Creamy Chicken Verde Soup
New Year’s Day we had a very quiet day at home. I decided to use up some chicken verde I had stored in the freezer earlier in the month. I love when you can enjoy things twice in different forms. The chicken with green chiles was used for tacos after Christmas recital dinner and then,…
Bring on the Feast
Feasting days are upon us. What do you have planned to eat at your holiday celebrations? Me? On Christmas Eve, I plan to enjoy a delicious meal of Smoked Prime Rib prepared by my son-in-law. He is very experienced in bringing the yum to meat, and I can’t wait. My contribution will be Hassleback Potatoes,…
Shrimp Boil
This a quick, easy, and fun dinner. Low in points and but big on flavor. One of our little Miss J loves. So do we. I don’t count the beer when calculating the points because all but a quarter cup of the liquid is drained away. Shrimp Boil Four servings Ingredients Instructions You don’t have…
Pizza Dough
Some deliciousness is happening at our house. Jayme is all about pizza these days, and I don’t mind at all. I love it too. I use the bread machine to do the work of kneading and proofing. My part: Roll, prebake for a few minutes, add toppings, and finish a few more minutes in the…
Granola
My husband’s go-to breakfast is yogurt and granola. I like granola with a bit of milk for a snack, dessert, or used as crunchy. It’s one of the easiest things to make and allows me to change it up according to what is in the pantry. It’s a healthy sweet treat but watch your portions…

Where Is That Wagon?
Falling off the wagon hurts. I know this from experience. I was sharing with one of my daughters that I not only fell off the wagon but also rolled down the hill, knocking the air out of me. In hindsight, it wasn’t quite that bad. I just spent the summer maintaining my weight. I didn’t…
Roasted Corn and Black Bean Enchiladas
I have been trying to edge our way towards a bit more plant-based eating a few days a week. (Yes, another new habit.) We do not really desire to be fully vegan or even vegetarian. We are equal opportunity eaters. Lol! We love to eat foods of all types. We especially love when we are…
