Even if you love to cook like Jocelyn and I, we all know there are some days that don’t have enough minutes in them and we need dinner without a lot of fuss. {yes, you know too well just what that means . . . }

This is one of our go-to dinners because it’s fast, easy, and a family favorite.  It’s especially good in the winter when you crave wonderful barbecue flavor, but don’t want to {or can’t} go outside to use the grill.  There are only 4 ingredients:  Your favorite barbecue sauce, Coca-cola, brown sugar and

Want to make friends fast??  Serve these Caramelitas or give them as a gift and you’ll be everyone’s best friend!

Ooey-Gooey Caramel + Chocolate + Oatmeal = Simply Decadent!

These Caramelita Bars are amazing, but they are very rich so you can cut them in small servings.  The recipe makes an 8×8 pan which will be plenty unless you are feeding a crowd (simply double the recipe for a 13×9 pan).

Sometimes I just crave a nice flavorful salad.  Especially as we {hopefully} start heading in to warmer weather and we are spending more and more time out in the sun.  I love salads and I even love them for dinner {my husband doesn’t share that same love unfortunately}  I like to change it up too, I don’t want the same salad every time.  So if you are in the mood for salad don’t forget about our Pear and Pistachio Salad with Sherry Shallot Vinaigrette, Spinach Salad, or our Winter Citrus Salad {just to name a few}.

Adding the shamrock marshmallows is a fun idea for St. Patrick’s day!  We have a basic marshmallow recipe here.  And if you don’t have time to make the shamrock marshmallows, you could always just add a little

I LOVE fresh baked bread of any kind.  There is just something magical about the end result.  The smell fills the entire house and it is hard not to immediately dive in.  I feel a sense of pride when pulling out a tray of dinner rolls or a loaf of bread.  How can these few simple ingredients turn out into something so wonderful?

Bread actually intimidated me for a long time.  It just seemed so temperamental and difficult.  But it really isn’t.  Patience is important, so that was something I had to work on.  But the effort is
