Turtle Pumpkin Pie Recipe

What do you think of when you hear the word Thanksgiving? Do you excitedly dream of a wonderful meal surrounded by family and friends gathered around the table, sharing the blessings of life?

Maybe your children were in a pageant at school with little pilgrims… Read More

  Are you a fan of Sesame Street? Do your kids watch or is that too old fashioned these days? The show is about 45 years old, but I have to admit that I never watched it growing up. There was little tv watching in our home (on our old black and white tv and yes I’m that old!) But everybody… Read More

Apple Pie Bars with Crumb Topping

   Simply stated, I love fall! I adore everything about it, from the lower temps to the warm fuzzy sweaters! When the weather turns just a hair cooler I’m all over soup recipes, snuggling with a cuddly blanket and nesting for winter.  These apple pie bars with crumb topping add just the right touch of sweetness to dinner or make a great… Read More

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Acorn Cookies

  Sometimes you just know when a relationship is going to be beautiful. That first moment you gaze into the eyes of your child and realize what a huge responsibility and amazing privilege mothering is going to be. How unprepared you are. A bundle of nerves and fears. Yet somehow you memorize the moments as the year rush by in spite of your efforts… Read More

Apple Cake Recipe: Perfect for Fall!

By Marty Walden · 13 Comments

Can you hear it? Can you hear it? I can! It’s the wind calling to me saying, “fall is coming!” Okay, maybe the wind isn’t actually talking to me, but I do so love fall and am completely ready for its arrival. Well, maybe I’m not ready for fall decorating and projects and Christmas breathing down fall’s neck. But other… Read More

Strawberry Smoothie Popsicles

  Have you had a great summer so far? Can you remember back to your childhood and lazy days when a fan and a popsicle were all you needed to withstand the blazing heat? Or does it seem like a distant memory? In North Carolina we’ve had a few days recently where the temps have been below normal, a little… Read More

Simple Dessert Recipe for Chocolate Candy Bar Parfait

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone.   I am a Girl Scout drop out. Yes, I confess. I couldn’t handle the pressure. I was the cutest little brownie you’d ever seen, though. Pig tails, big ol’ glasses and saddle shoes. Yet somehow when I graduated to girl scouts there… Read More

Easy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Easy Homemade Strawberry Ice Cream

Sensational recipe for easy homemade Strawberry Ice Cream, perfect for a hot summer’s day spent with family and friends. This recipe is a keeper! My dad was a salesman. He sold cars, RVs, hardware (and not the computer kind) among other things.  He worked a lot of evenings and Saturdays to provide for our family. In spite of those long… Read More
