Hi Friends! Do I have a sweet recipe for you today. These Toffee Bars were one of the first recipes I made for Mr. Sam back when we were dating. Aww. That was about 8 years ago. Wow! Back when I used to routinely read cookbooks, with actual PAPER pages, to find new recipes. I love Pinterest and blogs (hello, you’re reading mine right now. Thank you!) But there is something about cooking from a traditional cookbook. Today’s recipe comes from my classic Betty Crocker cookbook. When I first found this recipe, I made them all the time. I remember once as soon as I put them in the…

Coffee & Dish #19
Happy Friday! I’m so glad you stopped by today! I always wonder when I write non-recipe posts if you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy putting them together. I’ve been working on a few projects for the blog and I’m excited to finally share one with you, it’s #1 on the list. 1. All of my recipes now have a print option – making it even easier for you to try them! 2. I tested a new taco recipe this week and I made these homemade tortillas to serve with them! I prepped the tortillas the night before and chilled them in the fridge overnight. Then when it was…

When I was growing up my mom found this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine and this casserole found its way to our dinner table often. While the original recipe called for jarred marinara sauce, I…

Caramel Pretzel Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
How cute are these Itty Bitty Mini Pretzels?! When I saw them at the grocery store I knew they were coming home with me. Lol. (They remind me of the pretzels they serve on airplanes). I found them at my local Wegmans grocery store, but it looks like Target and Amazon carry them too! So after getting these pretzels home I then had to decide what recipe to use them in. Of course, my mind went immediately to putting them in cookies with chocolate and caramel. I knew I needed a hearty cookie to not be overwhelmed by the pretzels, so I went right to these longtime favorites…

Roasted Greek Potatoes
Today I’m sharing with you these Roasted Greek Potatoes! They are the ones I served with the Greek Chicken from Monday. Now if you missed Monday’s recipe make sure you go back and check it out! Just look at those crispy potatoes! Yum! Now, if you’re anything like me, you’ve had trouble getting your potatoes extra crispy in the past. Don’t worry, this post is for you! Baking crispy potatoes should be easy, right? Here are a few tips I’ve learned: Small pieces – you want thin slices that (I even cut them in half) to give them a lot of surface area to get crispy.…
