This classic scone is bursting with juicy blueberries! Flakey, buttery and just slightly sweet. I first introduced this scone recipe back in 2018, just when I was diving into make scones for the first time. In my head I had always thought they would be difficult. Perhaps because they always look so pretty on bakery shelves? Either way I tried them and quickly realized just how easy it is to make scones! Drop dry ingredients into a bowl, cut in the cubed, cold butter, mix in some wet ingredients, form and pat the dough into a circle, cut into triangles and bake! This blueberry ver ..read more

I’ve created the juiciest, crispy chicken tender this side of the Mississippi! Your family will devour these. This post is sponsored by AE Dairy, but all opinions are my own. It’s no secret I have three kids that eat a lot. Two are teenagers, one is a pre-teen, all eat me out of my house. I’ll often post on Instagram about how my fridge is either empty or nearly empty. Did teens eat this much when I was growing up? Feel sorry for us Moms. All I do is make lists for the grocery store, go to the grocery store and then start making another list. It’s a revolving door. I was thinking abo ..read more

These fun little cookies are a breeze to make and always a crowd pleaser! Mini chocolate chips and vanilla pudding give them a soft, sweet taste. Who doesn't love a good cookie? When I make a batch in my house they are gone by the next day. Teenagers + plus good food = almost no food soon after. When I baked these cookies I literally hid the remaining half in a cupboard (in an effort to make them last longer) only to have all three kids begging me to show them where I hid them. It was a loss. See? Everyone loves a good cookie. When describing this batch I always tell people they ..read more

Here is a dinner I’ll be feeding my family for years to come! My new French Onion BBQ Sliders are easy to make and always a crowd pleaser. This post is sponsored by Cookies BBQ Sauces & Seasonings, but all opinions are my own. Some recipes I just want to make over and over and this recipe is one of them. Also, all five family members raved about them and the whole tray was gone within a few hours. That’s a sign of a great recipe. And as usual, I always want to give you an EASY recipe, so here we go! In my three-part series with Cookies this Summer we first featured my 5 ingredien ..read more

With Summer in full swing, it’s time for a fresh, sweet strawberry cake for all your special occasions! This post is sponsored by AE Dairy, but all opinions are my own. The one thing I absolutely love about Summer is the abundance of fresh berries always ready for picking. Strawberries might just be my favorite, but any berry will do. When AE Dairy and I started chatting about a new June recipe we wanted to incorporate their fresh milk, heavy whipping cream AND these beautiful strawberries. In the end we came up with my new Strawberry Sheet Cake – great for a crowd, yet easy enough for ..read more

Yes you can make a tray of cinnamon rolls in just under one hour! These are yummy and super easy to bake up. Many years ago (2016 to be exact) I shared my one hour cinnamon rolls, well before most of you knew me! Every now and then I like to go back to old recipes - try them again to make sure they still work, take new photos and reintroduce them. And that is exactly what I did with this recipe! So many new people come around here and many of them never look back into the archives. This way I bring back the old ones, yet fancy up the photos a bit. Think of it like redecorating a room in ..read more

If you are hitting the beach, the waves or on a boat this Summer, make this dip! It's just 6 ingredients and comes together quick. I've been making this dip for years and years, but like many recipes I've failed to publish it on the blog. Until today!  Now that Summer has unofficially hit I thought about this dip last week and made a point to style it and take some photos for all of you while whipping up another batch. It really is soooooo good. I dare you to not have just one bite! A child can make this dip - it's just six ingredients! Throw everything into a bowl, mix and ref ..read more

It's the start of Summer and us Moms need to stick together! During this busy season I decided to hand pick my favorite Amazon products for Mom. The start of Summer is always fun and exciting. The kids are ready, us Moms are ready....it's a time for longer days, more sun and a little relaxing. But being prepared for Summer is also a thing! If you are a Mom like me, I have three very busy kids - sports camps, church camps, vacations, practices, games at the ball diamond, reading programs - just SO much is going on. A lot of time is spent in the car, packing for the car or wishing you ha ..read more

Just 5 ingredients to make this beautiful Prosciutto & Egg Breakfast Tart. Easy to make and looks pretty for your guests! This post is sponsored by the Iowa Egg Council, but all opinions are my own. We are an egg loving household, always have been. The constant statement I’ll hear, “we’re almost out of eggs!”. Between the kids and the husband, we eat a LOT of eggs. Whether for breakfast, in baked goods or to make an easy dinner they are often served at our house. Did you know Iowa is the #1 egg producing state in the country? Honestly, there is a good chance the eggs you ate for b ..read more

 Sheet Pan meals are all the rage because they are simple, yet delicious! My new Sheet Pan Korean BBQ Chicken is healthy and full of flavor. This post is sponsored by Cookies Sauces & Seasonings, but all opinions are my own. Over the years I’ve made a handful of “sheet pan meals” and I’ll continue to make them as they are always a big hit! Everyone loves a simple meal that is cooked all together on one tray, all at once, which in the end makes for a super easy clean up. Today I love that I get to share this one in partnership with Cookies, an iconic Midwest sauce and seasoning ..read more
