I haven’t been spending a whole lot of time in the kitchen because we’ve been busy with the sale of our house and our move into a new place. However, now that we’re getting settled, that’s about to change! I’m ready to start making yummy treats in classic fall flavors. First up is this Caramel Apple Ice Cream!

Perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
A little over a year ago I shared a recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. My daughters fell in love with these muffins! They love them so much that they ask for them every week. They are tasty and nutritious, so I’m happy to make them. I’ve made them approximately 50 times over this last year! Because I’ve made them so many times, … [Read more...] about Perfect Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
October 2020 Dinner Menu
September has passed in a bit of a blur. We listed our house for sale, got it under contract in less than a week, and were able to sign a lease on a lovely house that we will reside in as we work towards our goal of moving closer to family. We have the closing on our house and our move into the new place coming up, so I’ve kept my focus … [Read more...] about October 2020 Dinner Menu

I’m not in the habit of calculating these for recipes I use for my own family, so I haven’t taken the time to do that here. Additionally, my readers sometimes ask if I have the recipes in a format that can be easily printed. There … [Read more...] about Nutrition Facts for My Most Popular Recipes
Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
Chicken Alfredo is one of the few dishes that my entire family will eat. Therefore, when I came across the idea of making a lasagna using Alfredo sauce instead of a tomato-based sauce, I was thrilled! This lasagna relies on jars of Alfredo sauce and frozen spinach, so it wasn’t too difficult to assemble on a busy weeknight. However, … [Read more...] about Chicken Alfredo Lasagna
August 2020 Dinner Menu
This year has been so unusual that it doesn’t feel like it’s almost August, but the weather around here is enough to convince me that it is! Among other things, this means that it is time for a new dinner menu. At the start of each month I plan our menu for the coming weeks (you can see our past menus here). This approach works for me … [Read more...] about August 2020 Dinner Menu
