Baked Chocolate Chip Oatmeal

Tina0 Comments

I kind of feel like I’m going back to school.  I saw the school buses this morning as kids return to school. I instantly felt like I was in school and got that sick feeling in my stomach even though I’ve been out of school for years. Does that happen to you? Even though I’m not actually going back to school, I’m getting back to blogging. As you may or may not have noticed, I unintentionally took the summer off from blogging. I thought these chocolate chip oatmeal treats would be a great way to get back into the swing …

No-bake Cheesecake

Tina0 Comments

I have never made a no-bake cheesecake before. Boy, I was missing out. You know what’s great about a cheesecake that doesn’t require actually baking it? Everything. You don’t need to turn on the oven (which is especially a good thing on hot days). You don’t have to wonder if you overcooked it or undercooked it. You don’t have to be annoyed about cracks on the top of the cheesecake. A no-bake cheesecake is not a lot of fuss and is just pretty awesome. This no-bake cheesecake tastes like a traditional baked cheesecake. The graham cracker crust is basically the …

What’s for dinner? I’m sure you’ve heard or said that question a million times. I constantly feel like I’m eating the same dinners and that gets boring.

This chicken meal was amazing and that’s saying a lot coming from someone with very high standards. I love the warm spices on the chicken and peppers and it’s super easy to make, which is a awesome especially …

Glazed Lemon Cookies

Guys, would you believe that these are the first lemon cookies that I’ve baked? I don’t count the lemon bars (because they’re “bar cookies”). I’m not drawn to lemon desserts, even though I do enjoy them, so I guess they’re just not on my mind. However, with it being time for Spring and Easter celebrations I knew that a lemon cookie would be the perfect addition to a cookie platter. Here enters these heavenly pillows of lemony goodness. When I read reviews of most lemon cookie recipes, I see comments like, “these are not lemony” or “these are too lemony.” …

Rice Pudding (Rizogalo)

Tina2 Comments

This rice pudding is life changing. I shared a different recipe for rice pudding in 2020, a recipe that I made a few times and loved. My husband was not a fan of that recipe though. He said that the rice was too firm and the pudding texture was off. That’s one opinion versus the many complimentary ones so I just took it that he wasn’t a fan. To each their own. I couldn’t shake my husband’s comment so when I found this recipe for rice pudding, I knew that I needed to try it. I wanted to compare it …
