Spaghetti Sauce From Scratch

Pin It!
Growing up with my mom made me so spoiled about the spaghetti sauce I will and will not eat. I don't think I'll ever be 100% satisfied eating sauce from a jar. So tonight I decided to make sauce from scratch (though it will never beat my moms sauce, it sure came close!)

French Bread

Pin It!

I always feel like eating spaghetti is a sin with out fresh bread to soak up the left over sauce. So tonight I decided to make some fresh bread to go with dinner. It came out with the best crunchy crust but soft and fluffy inside!

Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream

Pin It!

I had a lot of strawberries left over from when I made jam and I wanted to use them up before they went to waste. What better way to use them then to make them into ice cream! The taste of this ice cream is amazing!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Sweet & Spicy Pickled Zucchini

Pin It!

As I said before when I made the zucchini brownies, I have so much zucchini I don't know what to do with it all. So this time I decided to pickle it... Goes great with sandwiches or anything else you like to eat with pickles!

I had family over for breakfast and wanted to make something new and delicious. I decided to try and make eggs benedict. I think they were a success!

Creamy Soy Nut Peanut Butter

Pin It!

As I was sitting at the table enjoying my homemade jelly, I thought it just wasn't right to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich unless I made the peanut butter too! I wanted something fresh and delicious. I looked through MANY peanut butter recipes and decided to go down the soy nut route because it had both peanuts and soy nuts. I think I made the right choice! Delish!

Fluffy Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Pin It!

By Danielle's choice we decided to make some chocolate chip pancakes... her favorite! Found a recipe that said over and over how fluffy they were so thought we would give them a try. They came out awesome! So fluffy with the gooey chocolate wrapped up inside!

Strawberry Jam

Pin It!
Today my sister came up to visit with me and we decided to take a stab at making our own jam... After we started hulling and mashing the strawberries the aroma of strawberries filled the air and we knew it was going to be good!
