A few weeks ago, we made the most amazingly delicious caramel chocolate-chip frosting in our house. I now feel like I personally understand the old saying , “It was the icing on the cake.” To find a truly amazing frosting puts my entire household in a good mood.
When my husband lived in Brazil, he ate a small chocolate candy called a brigadeiro. This delicious little candy is like a mix between a truffle and a tootsie roll. It’s perfectly soft and gooey and tastes amazing.
Today, I have yet another slow cooker recipe. Have I mentioned how much I love my slow cooker? I like to do slow cooker recipes on Sundays, so I can spend the day at church and focusing on my family, without worrying about dinner. This Salsa beef comes together very quickly and has a ton of flavor.
This Independence Day, we invited friends, neighbors and the local Boy Scouts of America troop to our home to help raise our flag for the first time. We then celebrated with 100+ muffins. This is what 100 muffins and hours of labor look like.

Three, I’m a big fan of buying things on sale, and when a sale is good enough, I stock up. Here are the food staples we keep in our house.
Toward the end of last year, I made Strawberry Freezer Jam. While I love strawberry freezer jam, my lack of a huge freezer makes it hard to make large batches for food storage. This year, I decided to can my strawberry jam instead. I was a bit terrified, not being an expert canner, but I […]
