My all time favorite Christmas tradition is driving around and looking at all the pretty Christmas light displays.  I secretly wish we had light displays year round, but I guess just having them at Christmastime will have to do.   Christmas Lights Brownies look like they have a string of lights spread out on top of …

One of my fondest Christmas memories happened the first year my husband and I were married.  He knew how much I loved Christmas and wanted to surprise me by getting a Christmas tree.  Boy did he ever and it was HUGE!  It barely fit in the little duplex that we were renting.  It was the …

Perhaps you’re thinking, “Rachel, your coffee addiction has gone too far!”  I’ll admit that putting coffee on steak sounds pretty weird if not down right wrong.  That is, until you try it!  Everyone that tries this steak is pleasantly surprised at how delicious it is and it doesn’t even taste like coffee.   Coffee rubbed steak …

Growing up, if there was one thing we could count on my mom making for her annual Christmas party, it was Chex Mix.  She always made it homemade and we loved to snack on it all night.  I definitely think of those Christmas parties when I’m eating Chex mix or really any snack mix.   Snack …

My mom has always been a stickler for mashed potatoes being freshly made.  I have to 100% agree with her on this and can tell instantly when they are not fresh!  I guess you could say she “spoiled” me on the real thing, but I am definitely okay with that.  My mom’s whipped potatoes are …

My children are little “fruity foodies”.  Provide them a fruit platter and they will devour it in a few minutes.  I don’t know how, but somehow I raised kids that would rather eat fruits over other desserts any day.   This Turkey Fruit Platter is an Easy Thanksgiving Fruit Tray that will please any fruit lover …

Cookies are a universally loved treat.  In fact, they are loved by both people and monsters (hello Cookie Monster).  We have a few cookie monsters in our own family for sure.  Plus, cookies are the preferred breakfast, lunch and dinner for Santa himself. So I am going to make a self declaration that this Christmas …

Caprese Salad Skewers are easy appetizers to serve that are always a crowd pleaser. It’s one of those appetizer/snack recipes that makes everyone think, “That’s so fancy!”, even though I probably whipped it up in 10 minutes (the 10 minutes right before everyone showed up, of course).  That’s the great part, though.  Right?  I love …
