Now this isn’t the typical s’mores you would think of but a modified easier to eat and a touch of healthy packed in. Since strawberries are in season this was a perfect treat for the day. Quick and tasty treat that everyone is sure to love.

    Carolina Style BBQ Sandwich’s

    07/18 /No Comments

    You can’t go wrong with BBQ sandwich’s anytime of the week! Serve with slaw and hushpuppies and you have a perfect Southern meal! (Grilled Pork Recipe) There is a somewhat light-hearted feud that exists between the proponents of the two types of barbecue: Western style and Eastern style. What are the differences of the two you ask? Western Style: Western style barbecue (occasionally also referred to as Piedmont style) uses a “red” sauce/dip that is seasoned with ketchup, vinegar, and pepper, along with other spices that vary from recipe to recipe. It is most common in the Piedmont (central) and western areas of the state. This style uses only the…

    Skillet Shepherds Pie

    06/04 /No Comments

    This is hands down one of my favorite dishes! It is meat and potatoes so what’s not to love, right! Leftovers are minimal and this is super easy to make. I don’t have exact measurements for my seasonings as smell is how I gauge my dishes. You can also substitute minced garlic for garlic powder, or use both. Hope y’all enjoy! Super easy and tasty dish perfect for weeknight dinner. You can also make this a day ahead and reheat.

    My lil dude likes variety when it comes to his food. I don’t blame him being a foodie myself, so I have come up with creative ways to incorporate fruit & veggies into his breakfast.

    Super Easy Oatmeal Lactation Cookies

    09/25 /1 Comment

    I have now tried a dozen or so cookies that are supposed to help with lactation. The problem is I can never eat more than one to see if they really work because they taste so awful! So, I ventured on my own and made some amazing oatmeal cookies with a ton of ingredients that assist in increasing milk. Today is my first day eating them so not sure if they are working but man they help my mood if nothing else! They are tasty and not too sweet so I don’t feel guilty eating two or three through the day.   Ingredients: 1 cup flour ¼ tsp. baking powder…
