I love a good cheesy chip dip. Really, who doesn’t? So at our summer BBQs, I want to have a hot, cheesy dip, but I don’t want to heat my house up (in the winter when I want to turn up the heat, I make this cheesy bacon dip!)
This is where Crock Pot Creamy Corn Dip comes in. No need to make your house sweltering in the summer when you use your slow cooker. [Read more…]
Grilled Peach Crisp is a deliciously simple foil packet recipe that can be grilled on the barbecue or cooked over the coals of a campfire.
I ordered peaches this year to can. I have only canned peaches one other time in my life, and it was probably 10 years ago with my mom. I forgot how much work it is!
There are 48 quarts on the shelf, and I’m feeling very accomplished. I figure by the time I get all the stickiness of the floors and counters and cabinet fronts, the pears I ordered should be ready.

My poor family (insert sarcasm here) had to endure 3 rounds of these fresh strawberry bars, as I tried to find the perfect recipe. It was a huge sacrifice, I’m sure! It didn’t stop them from devouring the bars, though! [Read more…]

I don’t know what the deal is, but I can’t get enough of roasted vegetables lately! Maybe I’m short on some vitamins or something, but I could probably eat an entire pan of roasted root vegetables– I love them so much! [Read more…]

I have been going through my kitchen, attempting to organize things. For all of our marriage, I’ve had quite a bit of cupboard space, up until 2 years ago when we moved to the homestead.
Our house is much smaller than the one we came from, but for the most part I’ve figured out how to make it work. But the kitchen is a completely different story. [Read more…]
