Cheeseburger Soup

As soon as September rolls around, I’m basically like George Costanza from Seinfeld: “I gotta focus…I’m shifting into soup mode.” Soup season is here, and I’m leaning all the way in. This cheeseburger soup is one of my family’s all time favorites. And not only because it has the word “cheeseburger” in the title. It’s... READ MORE

Lemon Blueberry Sheet Cake, Sunshine on a Sheet

I live for a beautifully stacked, frosted, three-layer cake masterpiece. Truly. There’s something so elegant about a perfectly curated round cake. It’s giving hostess vibes, celebration energy, and Pinterest perfection. But in my house of seven (yes, seven), that dainty little cake doesn’t last long or go very far (though you’ll still see one from... READ MORE

Ham and Gouda Sliders

When I share recipes here, it’s important to me that they feel doable. Like, “I just wrangled three kids, forgot to defrost the chicken, and still want dinner to feel like a win” kind of doable. My Ham and Gouda Sliders? Total win. These little sandwiches come together with buttery brioche buns (aka the softest,... READ MORE

Old Fashioned Banana Pudding

I may not be from the South, but I have a deep appreciation for banana pudding. The kind that’s layered with vanilla wafers, fresh bananas, and creamy pudding, all chilled to perfection.

Lemon Rice Krispies Treats

Last week, I shared how I try to make just one dessert per week for my family. Something that lasts a few days, like my Iced Oatmeal Bars. But let me tell you, that is not the case with these Lemon Rice Krispies Treats. They disappear almost instantly, so I always make double! A Fresh... READ MORE

With five kids (including two always-hungry teenage boys), I don’t have time for fussy meals or expensive ingredients. That’s why Egg Roll in a Bowl has become a weeknight lifesaver in our house. It’s fast,... READ MORE
