🙂 I have had the intention to make Gluten Free-Dairy Free Nut Butter cups for my kids for a while now. With Easter quickly approaching, the television heavily laden with Reese’s commercials and the grocery aisles loaded with these smooth, creamy treats, well…it seemed about time to make my kids a treat they so readily […]

Tonight, because my feature recipe is a two-part masterpiece, I wanted to take a moment and break it up a bit…partially because this first portion requires its own explanation, partially because this portion of the final two-part recipe is so fantastic, I want you to be able to find it over and over again!

When Shea (aka Dixie Chik Cooks) and I agreed that lemon would be the Ingredient Challenge for this week, my mind started wandering. I love lemon. Lemon bars, lemon meringue, mint lemon julep (sans alcohol), lemon mint cake, lemonade, strawberry lemonade, raspberry lemonade, lemony citrus shortcake cookies, mmmm strawberry lemon cupcakes…so many ways to use […]
