I love our family tradition of making gingerbread men. There’s something magical and nostalgic about our home around Christmas time. The twinkling lights from the tree, the coziness of a fire crackling in our den, arranging my favorite nativity scene, and the wonderful smell of baking gingerbread permeating the house while my kids wait in […]
Although I don’t really have a sweet tooth, I could easily polish off a few of these sugar cookies in one sitting. For breakfast. They are just that divine. I have memories of rolling out, cutting, frosting, and decorating HUGE batches of sugar cookies at Christmas with my mom and my grandma. The entire table
Crescent pizza is a quick, easy meal that’s perfect for those busy, exhausting weekdays we all have. When I was younger, my mom made crescent pizza and it was always a family favorite. I believe she got the recipe from my lovely Aunt Jude. Thanks Aunt Jude. I didn’t include any step by step pictures

Who doesn’t love make ahead freezer meals? They just seem to make life a little easier. Venison meatballs are a quick and easy meal for those busy week nights. You can use any ground meat or seasonings you want, you can make them ahead of time, have them the same day and feed a crowd,
Waking up to the smell of freshly baked buns was the best alarm clock ever. And it was my alarm clock a few times a month when I was a child. My mom would start her bun dough the afternoon before, shape it into buns in the evening (with me right by her side), let
