I don’t like plain M&M’s. They are boring and I need something to go with my chocolate. But for some reason, I have always loved M&M’s cookies. I think it’s the crunch that the candy coating provides that just puts them over the top for me. And these are definitely the best M&M cookie that

Cherry Limeade Cupcakes
Joel just got through with his yearly review and got really great feedback. I wanted to surprise him with a dessert he would love and immediately thought of Cotton Candy Cupcakes. He loves cotton candy (I personally do not) and always gets cotton candy ice cream when we visit Cold Stone. Well, I searched Fargo high
Smoked Ribs and BBQ Rub
Labor Day weekend was super busy for us. Joel’s parents, sister and her kids all came to visit and we had a blast hanging out together! We went to the lake on Saturday, rented a pontoon boat and spent the afternoon cruising the lake. Unfortunately, the high was only about 65 degrees and it was

We have some friends that are growing lots of yummy veggies and they just happened to have an excess of cucumbers and I was one of the lucky recipients of the overflow! I knew immediately that I would be trying this new cucumber recipe. Cucumber salad is one of my favorite foods and dill is pretty much
Honey Mustard Pork Burgers
A few months back I was flipping through a cookbook I’ve had for awhile and came across this recipe. Joel and I are huge fans of honey mustard and burgers so I don’t know how this recipe didn’t jump out at me before. Needless to say, these burgers have become a fast favorite in our house
Buffalo Sloppy Joes
I love to try Rachael Ray recipes. They may not always be gourmet or fancy but I have never claimed to be either of those things. She creates simple, accessible and yummy recipes that are usually relatively healthy. You can’t beat that. These buffalo sloppy joes were not an exception. The addition of carrot, celery
