I saved this pie for last because it is pretty much the easiest pie in world to make. If you want just one more pie in your Thanksgiving spread, but you don’t have the time or energy to make one, try this pie. You do need at least enough time to freeze the pie, so…

A Month of Pie: Lime-Coconut Pie with Macadamia-Coconut Crust
Today’s pie is my favorite pie to date. It reminds me of my Bath and Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena body lotion that I used to wear in high school. I used to wear it because my high school crush (now my hubby) loved that scent, so of course he loved this pie. It is…
A Month of Pies: Peaches and Dream Pie
Before I talk about today’s pie, we need to have a chat. If you read my first pie post of the month within a couple days of it being posted, you probably noticed that it said something like “I’m going to make a pie every day until Thanksgiving! Hooray!” Well, if you look at it…
Jack-o-Lantern Stuffed Bell Peppers
I thought I would post a Halloween recipe that isn’t going to give you a sugar high. So many Halloween and autumn recipes are sweet and sugary, which is in the spirit of the holiday, but you still need to eat dinner, right? This recipe was delicious! I usually don’t really like bell peppers, but…
Pumpkin Dump Cake
Pumpkin Dump Cake. The best dessert ever. To me, pumpkin dump cake IS autumn. To me, its tradition and comfort and family. This is a recipe that my mom has been making since I was young. She got it from a neighbor long ago and then made her own tweaks to make it even better….
Homemade Sugar Sprinkles (Colored Sanding Sugar)
This was one of those things that I thought up all on my own. I was super excited about it and went crazy one afternoon making color after color. After I made a bundle of colors, I decided to see if anyone else had thought of making their own sanding sugar. After a quick Google…
Bacon Stuffed Mushrooms
Let me set up a scenario for you: I get home from work and its after 8. My husband just got home from campus and we both realize that there is no food in the fridge. We decide to go grocery shopping together, something I am hesitant about because it always ends up taking twice…
Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers
The other day my husband and I used up a gift card to the Macaroni Grill. We ordered the Goat Cheese Stuffed Peppadew Peppers. They were absolutely divine! The goat cheese wasn’t too strong and the peppers were sweet and soft. I decided to make my own version of this fancy appetizer. PRINTABLE RECIPE Ingredients:…
Black Bean and Corn Quinoa Salad
Last week some friends invited us over for dinner and we offered to bring a side dish. I had no idea what I was going to make, even when I started making this. I had a nice new bag of tri color quinoa, so I started cooking that, not knowing where I was going to…
Mango Lassi
I have to admit, I didn’t actually know what a mango lassi was until last summer. Never even heard of it. Then one day I went to an Indian buffet that had endless mango lassi as part of the buffet. I think that was all I ate at the buffet. Glass after glass of the…
