Life is as sweet as we bake it!
With Halloween days away, I know everyone has their pumpkin carving kits out and ready to go! So, we didn't always carve pumpkins in my household, most of the time we just painted them! I think my mom didn't want to deal with two young children fighting over sharp objects. Which now that I think… Continue reading Sweet and Salty Pumpkin Seeds

This ooey-gooey,… Continue reading Molten Chocolate Cauldrons

Is it just me or does it seem like fall is starting when it's supposed to this year?! Here in North Carolina, fall typically doesn't start until October/November.

But this year, Mother… Continue reading Fluffy, Filling, Fantastic Shepherd’s Pie

One, it's super hearty and filling.… Continue reading Homemade Biscuits with Sausage Gravy
