Growing up we would travel to the coast to see the ocean. While we were there, we would have lobster and steamed clams for lunch. Before we head home, we would always stop at a small mom and pop shop for some fudge and saltwater taffy. I loved eating the fudge and remembering the fun that day. Turtle candy

Hidden Veggie Crock Pot Sloppy Joes
Sloppy Joes is one of our favorites on a busy week night. I’ve never hidden any veggies in mine because we usually have a side salad. You can never have too many veggies as far as I’m concerned. This might be a good idea if you have picky eaters. Great idea for the team dinners, the teenagers could always use … Read More ...
Microwave Chocolate Chip Cookies
I will definitely have to try this out. If it is successful, it could be very bad for my waistline. I’ll have my daughter try this out, since she is learning cooking and baking. This could be what we need on those hot days that we crave a cookie, but not the heat from the oven.

Lazy Blueberry Sweet Rolls
I’m going blueberry picking this weekend, and will be making this for breakfast! Yes, I am lazy, which is why I don’t do a lot of baking and cooking, because I tend to not finish reading the recipe. I have disasters and sometimes come up with some yummy items, but the recipes don’t always look the way they should.

30 Summer Freezer Meals
Okay, actually there are only 15 meals, but the blogger doubled the recipes to make it 30. Either way, the weather is hot and the last thing we want is to turn on the oven. Some days, it’s too hot at the grill too. I love my crock pot meals all year round. I hate to say the dreaded word … Read More ...
Cotton Candy Layer Cake
Cotton candy layer cake for me? An adult? Yes, please! Fair season is in full swing and we always get the largest bag of cotton candy before we leave. It is easier to carry to the car, than the fried dough! Plus, it gives you that sugar rush to keep you awake for the ride home and still go to … Read More ...
Surprise Strawberry Shortcake Cupcake
I love strawberry shortcake! I can eat it with a biscuit, sponge cake or even angel food cake. There are some people that don’t like it. This might be my new favorite way of eating a strawberry shortcake and might sway those that don’t like it the other ways. Great for a barbecue or even a brunch.

This would be a great dessert to bring to a barbecue or maybe even make … Read More ...
Homemade Fudgsicles
Fudgsicles were a major treat for us. We had popsicles, but only fudgsicles occasionally. It’s really hard to find fudgsicles at the store that aren’t sugar-free. I know. I should be happy with less sugar, but they don’t taste the same. Plus, we only get them once in a while. I’m excited to try this recipe and can have them … Read More ...
