Souper Easy Crock Pot Potato Soup
No, I didn’t spell “super” wrong in the title. That’s just me having a little fun since this post is about soup and it’s SUPER easy to make!

Homemade Pizza Dough
I did it! I made pizza dough from scratch! First time ever!!! And I have to say, it tastes WAY better than the pre-made dough you can get in a can. Are those called cans? I keep going back and forth. I know biscuits come in a “can”, but to me, it’s not a canContinue reading “Homemade Pizza Dough”

Homemade Marinara Sauce
If you’re in need of a quick and easy pasta dish, canned marinara sauce is probably the way to go. But nothing beats the taste of homemade marinara sauce, and if you have the time, I would highly suggest trying this recipe before heading to your pantry to grab that jar of the pre-made stuff.Continue reading “Homemade Marinara Sauce”
Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups
I subscribe to several food blogs, so every morning my inbox is full of new posts containing tons of recipes. Some I delete automatically, like if I see the word “mushroom” in the title, and others I just know that I want to try immediately. The following recipe was one of those “try immediately” ones,Continue reading “Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cups”
