These light and delicious ice cream bars are simple to make and are the perfect summer treat! Featuring Hudsonville's Limited Edition Blueberry Cobbler ice cream, they will be the hit of your next BBQ or family gathering!

Did you know that July is National Blueberry Month? I don't need an excuse to eat blueberries - they are one of my favorite fruits! Not only are they sweet and scrumptious, they have many health benefits too. Blueberries are not only low in calories but high in vitamin C, vitamin K and fiber. They also are high in antioxidants which can reduce DNA damage, a leading driver of aging and cancer. Blueberries are also good for your heart and can help lower your cholesterol! So there is my PSA for the day haha. To celebrate these little gems, I'm sharing one of my new favorite dessert recipes with you - No Bake Blueberry Cobbler Ice Cream Bars, featuring Hudsonville's Limited Edition Blueberry Cobbler ice cream!

This Limited Edition ice cream combines Michigan blueberries and sugar-dusted pie crust blended with creamy vanilla ice cream. Just imagine having a bite of blueberry cobbler, fresh from the oven, but in ice cream form! I really can't describe how amazing it tastes, you just need to try it for yourself.

Hey friends, summer is finally here! Although it's not "official" until this weekend, we've been having summer weather here in Michigan for a few weeks now. Lots of sunny, hot and humid days, followed by somewhat cooler nights. I am absolutely loving the weather and have been enjoying my evenings and weekends sitting on my little patio and soaking in the sun and the nature around me. I've also been changing things up in the kitchen to make more meals on the grill and have cold and refreshing desserts. These cute little Patriotic Ice Cream Parfaits just happen to be one of our family's new favorites!

Happy New Year! I know I'm a few days late, but better late than never right? I'm excited to share a new recipe with you today but really I am just thrilled to be back blogging again. As I'm sure you've noticed, I haven't been around much the last year or so. I had a lot going on with my job and my family and I felt it was best to take a break for a bit. I've missed being here so much, it feels amazing to be back! 

Chocolate Peppermint Stick Ice Cream Cake

This Chocolate Peppermint Stick Ice Cream Cake is the perfect combination of a chocolate cookie crust, creamy 

peppermint ice cream and crunchy peppermint pieces to make one delightful holiday dessert!

When my sons were very young we started a tradition with my parents to have a fun and festive Christmas Eve celebration. Instead of fixing a big dinner, we each pick a few of our favorite appetizers and make a big spread to snack on all night long. We watch our favorite holiday movies, play board games, and simply enjoy each other’s company. A few years back I decided to add to our tradition and surprise everyone with a special new recipe for dessert. This Chocolate Peppermint Stick Ice Cream Cake is one dessert that is easy to make and is adored by the whole family. It tastes like Christmas and is beautiful too!

Soft and fluffy, not too sweet, and chocolate chunks in every bite, these 

Beet Chocolate Chunk Cookies are just as beautiful as they are delicious!

Baking is my love language. It's truly  my favorite way to show my friends and family how much I care about them. Don't get me wrong I enjoy cooking too, but baking is my true passion. With the holidays quickly approaching I've been in the kitchen baking up some old favorites as well as a trying out a few new treats. These Beet Chocolate Chunk Cookies just happen to be one of the new recipes that I can't get enough of!

This Pressure Cooker Beef Carnitas Tacos recipe is juicy, flavorful and delicious, and so quick and easy to make!

If you've been around here for awhile then you already know how much I love Mexican food. Taco Tuesday? That doesn't exist around here. I want tacos EVERY day! We often have our usual quick and easy ground beef tacos during the week and I reserve making my favorite chicken for nachos or beef or pork for carnitas for the weekends since that's an all day adventure as I slow cook the meat in the oven for hours. **Spoiler alert** I've cut my cooking time down to an hour! You heard me right...ONE HOUR...from start to finish. That means I can have carnitas any day of the week, even on busy weeknights!
