Recipe: Peppermint Brownie

This recipe is my holiday version in honor of my husband’s all-time favorite dessert, the brownie. Chunks of chocolate chips, with a fudgy rich texture that crumbles on the top and has that perfect amount of peppermint that throws you into holiday nostalgia. Peppermint hot chocolate by a cozy fire listening to Nat King Cole and watching the snow fall gently.

This peppermint brownie recipe is a little different, in that I use powdered sugar (instead of granulated sugar) to help make the brownies denser and hold their fudge-like texture together. Much like fudge, they are also decadent and rich, so I highly recommend cutting them into smaller squares much as you would fudge. trust me, your tummy will thank you.

Everything BBQ Rub

This everything BBQ rub is perfect for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sloppy joes. I have used this on wings, beef and pork ribs, and even lamb ribs, and have found it to be incredibly universal and flavorful.

This makes a small batch of the bbq rub, to make quantity adjustments easier. If you double or even triple it, simply add the bbq rub to a mason jar, put the top on, and shake it up. You’ll always have it on hand.

Recipe: Summertime Pasta Salad

I’m excited to share my latest take on pasta salad. This version is a simple and easy pasta salad that can be changed up to what you have on hand, making it a recipe for “Whatcha’ got in Your Fridge/Pantry”. This one I made to go with our BLTs. My eldest is not a pasta salad fan and even she ate this one (even the next day for lunch). This one can be changed a million ways, you can change the type of pasta, the meat, and the veggies. this is just what I wanted to use because I have leftover ham and broccoli.

Peach Cobbler

This is the ONLY recipe I was able to get from my grandmother (my mom’s mom) herself. This is the very recipe she used for my mother every year for her birthday. The only issue… when I talked to my grandmother and got all the ingredients, but she didn’t give me measurements. She told me what she used, and what to look for as I was slowly adding in things. So this was interesting to figure out to say the least. I like to have at least an idea of what the measurements are.
