Hello, my name is Christy. I am a mother of three girls, lover of photography, dobermans, cooking, and creating new recipes. Come take a peek into my crazy life.
New Year’s is usually when resolutions are made, and around February is when most are broken. It’s amazing how the gym traffic picks up at the first of the year and then come spring, those once determined resolutes slowly start to stagger off. I tend to make my resolutions at the start of the school … More Balsamic Steak and Veggies
Rice Krispie treats have never been one of my favorites and I can easily stay away from them, but their lively little cousin, the Scotcharoo – well, that’s another story! I first had these little keepers at a sleepover at my friend Chelsea’s house when I was in middle school. Her mom had a batch … More Scotcharoos – A fun treat for all!
With this week being back to school week for us, I can’t help but be reminded of those grade school days where the teacher would go through attendance, announcing each student’s name and the student had to respond with “Hot” or “Cold.” This was not referring to the temperature of the classroom, the response was … More Mac and Cheese and School Lunches

But S’mores are not always convenient and the eye piercing campfire sticks and fingers coated with melted marshmallows (AKA the stickiest substance … More Say So Long to Summer with S’more Pizza!
If you read yesterday’s post, it was about homemade pot roast and how versatile it is.

My girls are in their final few days of summer! They are excited and love school so we are all looking forward to what this next year brings. They are going to a new school in a new school district, but luckily will be at the same school so this shuttle bus driver has fewer … More Pot Roast to welcome you home!
I apologize for the lack of posts over the last week. Getting three ladies all set for school, finishing last-minute summer projects that are on my list, and spending a few days camping and at the beach with family were my priorities. With back to school starting, I know I’m not alone when a quick, … More More Please! Repost of BBQ Chicken Wraps (Quick Meal with a Whole Lot of YUM!)
I found another use for all those wonderful blueberries we picked a few weeks ago. When I drive by the orchard, they have signs up saying blueberries are still available for picking. I am tempted every time to stop by and pick just a few more pounds! But my freezer is full and I just … More Baked Fruit and Oatmeal – the perfect back to school breakfast
I remember when I was little sometimes while flipping through the channels on the TV, we’d come across this older man in usually a denim shirt that carried a very strong Cajun accent. His little stories, jokes, and laughter sucked us in most times and we ended up watching the remainder of his show. This … More Cajun Pasta
Last month when we were visiting my parents. My dad was finishing up a little project that he and mom had worked on. Well, she had given him the idea, bought the supplies and a “Honey Do List.” He had made a yard sized Yahtzee game and wanted to finish it up in time for … More Yard sized Yahtzee game!
