One of our family's very favorite winter meals is a roast chicken. Everyone in my house will eat it and it can be a great economical meal because you can use the leftover shredded chicken in so many ways. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea how easy it was to roast a chicken. And it tastes so good. The roasted chickens in the store can be around $12 but if you get whole chickens on sale, this recipe can feed our family of 5 all for around 8 dollars with leftovers. A way better ... View the Post
Christmas Morning Hot Cocoa
This Hot Cocoa Recipe is reserved for Christmas morning and was a recipe that my mom got from my Dad's mom when they visited for Christmas one year. I don't think it was a family tradition every year for them, but my mom brought the recipe home because it reminded her of that Christmas and it then became a tradition in my house growing up. It is super simple but makes the most decadent hot cocoa you have ever tasted. And don't let the whipped topping fool you into not trying it out---I ... View the Post

Simple Caramel Apple Recipe
Simple Caramel Apple Recipe I have been on a mission to master some recipes that I miserably failed at when I was first married and learning to cook. And caramel....well it has been my nemesis for awhile now. The first time I made it, I almost lit the pan on fire and the smell of burnt sugar was lingering for days. It was that bad. So, I was scared of trying again for awhile while I worked up the courage to do it again. Last fall I finally decided it was time. Time to conquer caramel! And ... View the Post
Easy Hot Chocolate Charcuterie Board
Today I'm excited to share an easy hot chocolate charcuterie board that you can use at gatherings throughout the holiday season. Although...admittedly...this isn't a board. It is a tray I bought over the summer and LOVE. I use it ALL THE TIME. (I tried to find a link to it and can't find the exact tray but you can find ones similar HERE and HERE.) With the hot chocolate charcuterie I do prefer to use a tray with sides because most often I am putting this together for a gathering ... View the Post
