Jello Ice Cream When I was a child my mom would purchase the large tub of ice cream. The gallon bucket comes in handy after the ice cream is done. We were only a family of 4 so it took a while to finish off the gallon. We soon tired of vanilla. Mom came up […]

Chicken Noodle Soup Who doesn’t love a bowl of chicken noodle soup? Well my Tarrena doesn’t, but most people do. It’s a cozy, go to meal for me. Although it was over 90 degree’s, I needed a cozy meal to go with the evening rain. So I whipped this up and we devoured huge bowls. […]
Old Fashioned Lemonade I love, love, love an ice cold glass of lemonade. Most of the stuff you buy is just too sweet for me. So of course I created my own recipe. None of the extra crap in it, just lemon’s, sugar, and wter! This is best made the night before. Pouring it warm […]

Creamsicle Dessert Who doesn’t love the orange and cream flavors of a creamsicle? For me it brings back memories of summer as a kid. I wanted to recreate that in a dessert that is a little more grown up to eat on a plate. I adjusted this recipe to fit a 9×9 pan instead of […]
