Stop reading. Start cooking.
I started making this laundry detergent when we need to use scent-free detergent for my youngest daughter. Guys, that stuff is expensive. And why?? It has less stuff in it, shouldn't it be less?? Also it only came in like a sample sized bottle and she was a baby so we were doing like 27… Continue reading Homemade Laundry Sauce
This is a recipe that seems more complicated than it is. It's really just heat, cool, incubate, strain, done. After you have made this recipe a couple of times, you won't even need to look at the instructions any more. If you like a super thick Greek yogurt, this recipe is perfect. You can strain… Continue reading Instant Pot Homemade Yogurt
If you're thinking "is this seriously a recipe for ranch mix on plain crackers and that's it?" you are correct. But if you are also thinking "that doesn't sound that great" you are NOT correct and you can show yourself out. When I was a kid, our neighbor across the street used to make these… Continue reading Ranch Oyster Crackers
This mac and cheese recipe is about as simple as it gets. You can make it as fancy as you feel, or as fancy as the ingredients in your pantry and fridge will allow. Got bacon? Crumble that in. Need your kids to eat veggies? Add some cooked broccoli florets. Want to impress a date?… Continue reading Stovetop Mac & Cheese
We've been making this casserole for every holiday for the past 5 years or so. It's a less sweet dish than sweet potato casserole (but still plenty sweet) and you can pretend it's healthier because it has squash in it! If someone you know doesn't like squash, just tell them it's sweet potatoes, I bet… Continue reading Butternut Squash Casserole
I don't think apple pie even breaks into my top 5 favorite pies, but here we are. My husband LOVES apple pie, so this is the one I make. Everything is better with caramel, amirite? I can't do a lattice crust to save my life. Yes, I have seen the video tutorials, yes I have… Continue reading Caramel Apple Pie
I can't stand crunchy cookies. Chewy cookies are where it's at. Fight me. These cookies are so unbelievably chewy and delicious. I don't even really like chocolate chip cookies and I'll eat half the batch myself. These cookies don't brown in the over- if they turn brown they've been in the over too long. Try… Continue reading Soft Chocolate Chip Cookies
I never made beans from scratch until I got my Instant Pot. It's just so easy. These beans are so much better than baked beans from a can, and you can really customize the spices if you like. Sometimes I add cumin, or chuck a couple of bay leaves in during the first cook (just… Continue reading Instant Pot Baked Beans
These cookies. Are the best cookies. Yes, the recipe calls for coconut oil instead of butter. Yes, that looks like a lot of vanilla. Yes, you add molasses to already dark brown sugar. But they are the softest, moistest, most delicious-est cookies. I have made these SO many times and I have yet to find… Continue reading Brown Sugar Molasses Cookies
This breakfast casserole is a holiday favorite at our house- especially for Christmas morning. I can throw it together the night before, and then stick it in the oven in the morning. The coconut milk is so silky smooth and the pineapple and brown sugar mixed is divine. You could top this with flaked coconut… Continue reading Hawaiian French Toast Casserole
