Making A Meal Of Grits

Aug 09, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

One of the things that makes this recipe great is that it can be a meal on its own. It has grain, meat, dairy, and even vegetables. What more could you want? Also, unlike just normal grits, it actually is good leftover. So make a big batch for the family over the weekend and breakfast will be done for days! Continue reading

All The Good Stuff Ice Box Cake

Do you like peanut butter with chocolate? If you look at my Pinterest board, the majority of the desserts have those two flavors.

Jun 29, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

Best Ever Punch-Three Ways!

May 25, 2021

Written by Beth Williams

When was the last time you had a fabulous punch? Many years ago, my mom, Mama Gabe, did a reception for my cousin’s senior piano recital. (The man has mad skills.) Anyway, she made this punch. TO DIE FOR! This is no three-ingredient wonder, not that there’s anything wrong with those. It takes effort but, oh my goodness, is it worth it! In addition, not only can you use this recipe as a traditional punch but you can enjoy it two other ways! Bonus! Continue reading

A Norwegian's Take on Chocolate Croissants

I am all about taking the mystery and intimidation out of all things home so I decided that if I can make Kringle, which is a large Danish pastry with layers and layers of butter, I could make croissants, a French pastry with layers and layers of butter.
