Chocolate Cream Pie {French Silk Pie}

We sure love cream pies around here. While cooking for company last night I was in desperate need of a dessert without many ingredients on hand. I had everything for a chocolate cream pie except for eggs (for the chocolate custard filling). I lucked out and found a recipe for chocolate cream pie filling...

The Best Chocolate Frosting

  I came across this frosting a couple years ago in my quest to recreate Magleby’s Chocolate Cake. I love it because it tastes like an old-fashioned fudge frosting. It is delicious! Please make it on your next chocolate cake. Oh it is so good. It comes from Hershey’s. I got the Hershey’s chocolate...

Disneyland Cornbread

  I don’t make cornbread often but I keep seeing recipes for Disneyland Cornbread and I’ve been dying to try it, only because it involves a yellow cake mix. Yes, sounds totally unhealthy but how interested are you in trying it now?! The recipe is not even really a recipe. It’s boxes. 2 boxes...

Easy Walnut Chicken Salad

Whenever we have leftover chicken meat from a rotisserie chicken I love to make chicken salad. I don’t know why I love chicken salad so much, but I really do, especially with walnuts! The walnuts really break up the creamy and salty flavors of the chicken and mayo. Next time you have some extra meat...

Food Storage Chocolate Chip Cookies

Last week I lead an enrichment lesson with women at church about food storage meal planning. I honestly only got asked because I mentioned to a friend earlier in the summer an article I’d found on Pinterest about food storage meal planning. I had a short amount of time to try to learn as much as I...

Simple Blackberry Ice Cream

  Last night we had some friends over for dinner and I started making some frozen custard, but as I was cooking the eggs and cream I was chatting and let them cook too long… All our eggs and our custard was ruined! I was so frustrated! I remembered one time making ice cream without eggs (just...

Thai Chicken Salad

I found the original recipe for this salad here and altered it slightly based on what I had at home, and based on the fact that we can’t have peanut products in our house because of my son’s allergy. Here is what I used for my adapted recipe. 2 cups sliced matchstick carrots 1 yellow bell pepper...

Oatmeal Cream Pies

For the past couple weeks I’ve been seeing these recipes everywhere! They keep making me salivate and I’ve been wanting to try them but didn’t have a reason to until last night. I have to be cautious to not make sweets too much otherwise we end up eating all of them! Last night we had a get-together...

Cottage Cheese Strawberry Muffins

On Sunday mornings I love to get up before my family and make a nice breakfast, but let’s be honest that is happening less and less lately! I am so tired these days. However I couldn’t sleep Sunday morning and everyone was still asleep so I decided to make some muffins. I had no blueberries or raspberries...

Chopped Veggie Slaw with Feta Cheese

I love finding salads that find a way to make tons of veggies delicious together. Especially raw veggies that you’d probably never eat alone (i.e. yellow squash—can’t imagine eating that raw as a snack!)… however chopped thin and mixed together with other veggies it is delicious! I found this recipe...

Chilled Asian Noodle Salad

Because I love pasta I of course love salads even more than have some starch in them! I found this recipe on Pinterest from Alchemy Baking, but didn’t have all the ingredients so I adapted it slightly. It turned out delicious!! The mixture of the salty soy sauce in the dressing, along with the tangy...

Cheesy Shredded Chicken Taquitos with Pineapple Peach Salsa

We love Mexican in our house and probably have it a couple nights a week. We’re always trying to think of new ways to make our Mexican dishes. Yesterday I put some chicken and Mexican seasonings in the crock-pot before we left for church and afterwards decided to make taquitos for dinner rather than...

Simple Apple Walnut Salad

Every fall I get the itch to start cooking (and baking of course) with apple and pumpkin… which doesn’t make much since seeing as it’s still about 90 degrees out. I’m just willing fall to come faster! This is one of our favorite salads—so simple and we always have the ingredients on hand. Enjoy! Ingredients...

Mexican Cheese Sweet Pork Nachos

Last week after making a huge crock pot of shredded pork, I had a lot left over I wanted to use up. Pork is an interesting meat because it really takes on the flavors added to it and soaks them up. The pork we used for our Shredded Pork Tacos was slightly sweet but more spicy. After a day in the fridge...
