I would jump over the side of the front porch to pick. Each time I went out I would come back with a huge bowl! When my kids go to Grandma and Grandpa’s house they like to have their snack outside in the garden. The main thing they eat are raspberries – which Grandma calls “candy” because they are so sweet. This year at my house we have an abundance of raspberries. I have been freezing some as well as making some wonderful easy recipes like this Homemade Raspberry Syrup. I love how this … [Read More…]

I love nights when I can dump and go. This Chicken Broccoli Casserole is one of those easy recipes. The hardest part is cooking and dicing the chicken.

My kids love helping me in the kitchen. My 2 year old is my biggest help right now–sometimes a little too helpful if you know what I mean! My kids love creating recipes. Working with Johnsville Sausage we have created an easy Sausage and Egg Breakfast Quesadilla that kids can make because my kids will eat anything wrapped in a tortilla. The hardest part of this recipe is the sausage. But fear not! I want to tell you about Johnsonville Fully Cooked Sausage. All the hard work is done. No more dealing with the grease splashing and wondering what to do with the leftover grease in the pan (which is hard for my kids to take care of themselves). Since it is fully cooked all you need to do … [Read More…]
