Now that Fall is here, hooray! Here are the essential oils that I am using the most in our home! Pull out a blanket …

CopyCat Dr Pepper Shake
A few weeks ago my husband who is a certifiable Dr. Pepper addict took the children to try the new Dr. Pepper shakes at Whataburger.

Mexican Inspired Easy Corn Succotash
I am kind of obsessed with summer side dishes. To me, they are almost as important as those delicious grilled main dishes that become a staple during the summer months.

Meatless Meal Ideas
If you have been to the store lately you already know that due to the pandemic the cost of meat has risen and not only that, there is a serious shortage. For my family this means eating less meat, which is probably overall a good thing. A few years ago we went mostly vegertarian for a child with an auto-immune …

Maybe this will be my last citrus-involved recipe……or maybe not?! Citrus makes me happy and hopefully, it makes you happy too!
