    The Best Monte Cristo Sandwich You Will Ever Have!

    12/01 /No Comments

    I had the pleasure of visiting one of our local restaurants the other day and had their version of a Monte Cristo! To say I was mind blown is an understatement so I had to come up with my own version and share it with y’all of course! I mean how rude would it be to not do so?  If you want to make your French Toast ahead of time follow this recipe (uses brioche bread) then stack your sandwich and make more like a grilled cheese ensuring the cheese is melted and gooey! If you still have leftover turkey or ham and need ideas for how to mix it…

Below are a few respectful ways you can goodbye to someone who served. “Note this is a collaborative post and I am receiving compensation.

    Amazing & Easy Shortbread Cookies

    11/23 /1 Comment

    I love the versatility of shortbread cookies! I love them even more dipped in chocolate! I took these one more step and added peppermint because my little one loves it! He had one of these cookies and did a happy dance singing these are the best cookies ever! He is four so any cookie is a great cookie, but it made me smile. Anyhow, you can dip these or leave them plain. You can sprinkle sugar or other fun toppings prior to baking too. These are also the perfect shortbread cookie Christmas recipe! I know Santa will love these cookies! Enjoy y’all!   Super easy and tasty shortbread cookies! [amazon…

    Our Children Were Born In The Time They Were Intended To Be In

    11/19 /2 Comments

    I am guilty! Guilty of doing something that I just need to stop doing! What is that you ask? Comparing my childhood to my kids! I am constantly wishing my child could grow up how I did and well, it is silly really. The times are so insanely different and he will not be able to experience the same things that I did because, the world has evolved. We don’t live in a world of firsts, at least like it was in the 80’s and 90’s. We had the first of so many things but he will not know the difference. Everything will seem like a first and wild new…
