They’re so simple to make and require only minimal cooking, which makes for a really great mid-week dinner that you can get on the table in... Read More
Homemade Ginger Mint Soda
Summer is here and it has been hot, hot, hot! In an attempt to keep hydrated and cool I’ve been enjoying these Homemade Ginger Mint Sodas. They’re oh-so refreshing and full of flavor; slightly spicy from the ginger and a little sweet thanks to the mint. Best part is…they’re a cinch to make and you can make a big batch of the ginger simple syrup and keep it in the fridge for up to a week. It’s the perfect beverage to enjoy throughout the day and once 5 o’clock rolls around, you can most certainly add a shot of... Read More

I have been in full on peach mode over here looking for new ways to use my bounty of peaches!

3 Recipes for Rotisserie Chicken

The only down side is that the actual chicken is usually pretty plain and lacking in any sort of flavor making for somewhat of a boring meal. Because... Read More
