Glazed Lemon Bread

Date: 2015/05/05

Soft & Chewy Microwave Caramels

Date: 2015/04/03

Easter Pretzel Bark

Date: 2014/05/05

Crock Pot Pork Chops and Gravy

Date: 2014/03/06

We all loved it. I like this bread pudding because it is basic and you can dress it up however you like."

Buttermilk Pancakes Kid Style

Date: 2013/03/28
"I made these pancakes last year for our Easter brunch after sunrise service. My kids love pancakes so they were extra excited to have ones that were bunny-shaped.

Date: 2013/01/18

Sliced Oven Baked Potatoes

Date: 2012/11/02
"These potatoes were so good. I basted them with butter several times during the baking time and they turned out so buttery that we didn't have to add extra butter when we ate them. They were nice for the kids too because we didn't have to mess with the skins like we do with baked potatoes."

Red, White & Blue Trifle

Date: 2012/10/16
"I know this is more of a summer dessert but it looked so good and my kids love fruit so I thought I would try it. We all thought it was great.

Creamy Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes

Date: 2012/10/08
"I made these to go with the Easy Slow Cooker Pulled Pork sandwiches for my dad's 60th birthday party. I made two pans, cooked them in the oven and then put them in a crockpot to keep them hot for the party. This worked out great.
