For most people, Thanksgiving is about the turkey, the dressing, the cranberry sauce, etc. For me? Marshmallow Salad.

It’s a cool, cloudy day here. Definitely feels like fall. And the kids have been munching on apples all week. I was reminded of this yummy recipe that’s hidden over on my old Tastes from Tricia’s Table blog. Might just have to whip up some Toffee Apple Dip over the weekend. There are a lot

Mac and Cheese

Mac and Cheese

Macaroni and cheese is one of my all-time favorite side dishes. However, until last weekend, I had never made it from scratch. I always fell victim to the quick box version.

S’Mores Bars

S’Mores Bars

A friend recently brought these S’mores bars to our house. They were devoured by everyone. And they are peanut-free! She was kind enough to share the recipe. I made them in a 9 x 13 pan, but highly recommend a larger 10 x 15 pan. Mine still tasted yummy, but were “tall”. Very tall.
