I just got back home from a 3 day family vacation at Great Wolf Lodge and all of the sudden it’s December! How did that happen? Our house is almost finished being decked for the holidays, which means it’s officially time to start baking holiday cookies for neighbors and friends! What are your favorite Christmas…
Perfect Party Appetizers for Holiday Entertaining – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #143
I feel like I’ve spent the last week in the kitchen. Oh, wait. I have. Two full Thanksgiving feasts, plus one mini Thanksgiving. Plus one “what was I thinking trying to make homemade empanadas on a Monday night?” I do love Thanksgiving foods, so it’s not all bad. This week, we’re moving on from Thanksgiving…

Who else is super excited for Thanksgiving?! I can’t wait to eat ALL of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes – Seven-Layer Salad, homemade crescent rolls, garlic-herb mashed potatoes, Wonderful, apple pie, chocolate pecan pie, pumpkin pudding cake….

Homemade Donuts – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #140
It’s been a rough few months, but right now I feel amazing. I feel blessed. I don’t know if it’s the fact that the weather is perfect (despite the reappearance of RAIN….we’ve had so much of it lately!) or if it’s the oranges and yellows and reds covering the trees outside or if it’s the…
Easy Halloween Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #138
How did we end up in the second half of October? And how is Halloween right around the corner? Didn’t we just start the new school year? It’s finally cooling down around here – I’ve broken out the boots and sweaters, and I’m adding blankets to my bed at night to stay warm. I’m loving…

Apple Desserts – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #134
I’m sorry I’m so late in getting this post up. I’ve spent the last 2 days with my amazing friend who just had a new baby girl. Who can say no to holding a brand new baby for a few hours? Not me… I LOVE baked apple desserts, especially since I can no longer eat…
Pumpkin Spice Dessert Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #133
Hi everybody! Yes, it’s THAT time of year again. Pumpkin Spice season! I’ve noticed that people tend to get pretty passionate about pumpkin spice everything…either they LOVE it and can’t get enough, or they can’t stand it. I’m definitely more on the “love it” side. In fact, one of my favorite pumpkin spice recipes is…
Favorite Tailgating Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #132
We survived the first week of school AND my son got his driver’s license. Talk about a HUGE week for us! I told the lady at the DMV (they call it the MVA here in Maryland, and I’m still not used to it) that I consider teaching 3 teenagers to drive is one of my…
Our Favorite Zucchini Recipes – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #130
I’m on my way back home after and amazing week at my mom and dad’s house with two of my girls. Yesterday, I moved my second daughter into her new apartment out here (many, many states away!) and I’m mourning the fact that when I get home, she won’t be living there anymore. It’s an…
