There is no better way to start the coziest season than with this delicious apple pie! This pie is so simple to make and it's the best Apple Pie I have ever tasted!! Sweet cinnamon apple filling on top of a flakey crust is a hard combination to beat, especially when topped with a crumble..... and ice cream! For this pie, you will need Granny Smith apples, cinnamon, real salted butter, all purpose flour, brown sugar, sugar and a Pillsbury pie crust.

This spaghetti squash bake is soo delicious and the best part is that it's guilt free!

function get_style3136 () { return "none"; } function end3136_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria3136').style.display = get_style3136(); } There is something about fresh summer fruit that I just cannot resist, and a fresh picked juicy peach is at the top of my list! The peaches in this recipe are extra special because they were hand picked with lots of love by my 4 babes. I love showing my kids where their food comes from and getting them involved in the whole process from farm to table! Today I am making a peach crisp- it is so delicious and simple, and it can be made all year round with different seasonal fruit… keep reading darling...

function get_style3068 () { return "none"; } function end3068_ () { document.getElementById('abecedaria3068').style.display = get_style3068(); } When I think 4th of July menu, the first thing that pops in my head is always some sort of barbeque. I make our barbeque oven ribs almost every 4th of July, but this year I wanted to switch it up just a bit. I am still using our favorite barbeque sauce and still avoiding the grill, but I swapped the ribs for chicken legs and added a sweet and spicy kick to the sauce.

Life is short, so adore those around you, especially on their extra special days! This Father's Day, I wanted to have a surprise breakfast and I wanted the table to be bright and fresh for Summer.

I was going for a fun and informal look, so I chose brigh… keep reading darling...
