BBQ season is not the same without food on skewers, is it? Beef, chicken, pork and even cheese. They are all more fun to eat when they come on a stick! This post is sponsored by Colman’s. All opinions are my own. Grilling season is here (well, it’s been here for a while now, but just go with the flow, will ya? 😂 ) and we recently got a fancy new gas grill!...

This is my go-to emergency healthy dessert recipe. I love that it’s so quick and easy to put together, with minimal hands-on time....

This mint chocolate chip cookie recipe tested my perseverance in the kitchen. It took me four tries to get right, but it was worth every single one of them. Lightly golden edges and thick, soft, and chewy centers give them the ideal cookie texture (like these Brownie Cookies).They contain so many green mint chips and dark chocolate chips that the dough can barely hold them together—like my favorite Healthy Chocolate Chip Cookies, that’s mind kind of ratio....

FavoritePinShare A few years ago, I was apart of a girl’s camp for our youth group. One of my friends that came a long, brought these delicious mint cookies. They were the HIT of the camp that year and all everyone talked about. As soon as I got home from the camp, I had to get the recipe and make them for my family. They were so delicious especially with the mint sandwich square melted on top....

Although you can find citrus year round, it’s at its prime in January and February. Isn’t it marvelous that at the time when your soul most needs an orange muffin (ahem, now), oranges are also at their peak? Yesterday morning as I was contemplating the great mystery of why the first settlers to Wisconsin decided to stick around the frozen tundra instead of rolling on west to California, I remembered the pair of orange muffins I had stowed away in our freezer....

I’ve had a 10 lb brisket sitting in a fridge, vacuum sealed, for over a week, hoping to smoke it but just could not carve out enough time from my busy schedule for that. Instead, I trimmed the brisket, ending up with a uniformly thick, 5-pound piece of meat, marinated it in my favorite mustard sauce and roasted in the oven at 275F. It only took about 5 hours to fully cook this oven brisket and the meat turned out just as juicy and succulent as I get on a smoker....

A classic Italian pasta for which “authentic” recipes abound, pasta al limone is a simple pasta dish consisting of a long noodle-shaped pasta (usually spaghetti), lemon (zest and juice), butter or olive oil, Parmesan, salt, and a generous amount of black pepper. The origin of pasta al limone is disputed, but it is especially popular in southern Italy and Sicily, regions that are known for their lemon crop. A tantalizing testament to the sentiment “less is more,” pasta al limone isn’t outstanding despite its simplicity—it is sensational because of it....
