These are the very best cinnamon rolls! The base is Darya’s Best Homemade Rolls dough and it’s filled with a wonderful combination of brown sugar, spices and just a touch of orange. These cinnamon rolls have a very simple icing, which I like best, but I’ve included a cream cheese […]

Pumpkin Apple Soup
Just right for a Fall or Winter evening, this soup is the perfect combination of pumpkin, apples, bacon and spices. Use canned pumpkin or roast your own (directions included ) and substitute the coconut milk for the cream in a lower fat version. The roasted pepitas (directions included) are the […]
Cincinnati Chili
This is a hearty chili, made even better when served over spaghetti. The original recipe is from my dear neighbor, Leah, and we’ve been making it for years! It’s very flavorful with lots of different spices. My family loves to eat Cincinnati Chili with a big green salad for dinner […]
Quick Homemade Maple Syrup
This is my family’s favorite maple syrup! We love it with pancakes, waffles, French toast, etc. It tastes so much better than the syrup you buy at the grocery store. I always have the ingredients on hand so fresh, warm syrup is only 5-10 minutes away.
Whipped Cream
So quick and easy to make – fresh whipped cream takes just a few minutes and is perfect on everything from pies and pastries to fresh berries. See the notes below for Spiced Whipped Cream and Stabilized Whipped Cream – which stays fluffy and light for a lot longer.
Spiced Pumpkin Waffles
These waffles are chock-full of pumpkin spice flavor – my kids absolutely love them. They’re moist and fluffy – and just begging to be drowned in Quick Homemade Maple Syrup. Add a bit of Spiced Whipped Cream for a real treat. You’ll crave these in the Fall but you have my permission […]
Salmon Chowder
I love the combination of salmon, veggies and spices in this yummy soup. Prepping almost all the veggies in a food processor makes it comes together surprisingly fast. You can also get your older kids to help out by doing all the veggie prep for you. Play around with the […]
Mean Green Black Bean Chili
My friend, Corey, sent me the recipe for this complex, hearty chili with black beans, chili and pork, that takes a bit more effort but is totally worth it. I’ve made it countless times over the years. It’s not too spicy but still has the best flavors. My hubby is […]
Sweet Slow Cooker Pulled Pork
You will love the super-fast prep with this Sweet Slow Cooker Pulled Pork. It’s my favorite “fix it and forget it” meal – the one I make when three of my kids have soccer games, one has a rehearsal, and Dad’s got late meetings. It’s wonderfully sweet and tender. If […]
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Two of the best things about Spring are the sweet strawberries and the tart rhubarb; and nothing is better than the two of them together in a warm Strawberry Rhubarb Pie. I have a wonderful neighbor who likes to share freshly-picked rhubarb with me, but you can easily grow your […]
