Easy Cherry Almond Coffee Cake
I had a can of cherry pie filling sitting on my pantry shelf just begging to be used in something. I decided to make an easy coffee cake with it. The batter is made with baking mix and the cherry filling is just cherry pie filling—so it’s really easy and it’s also very tasty!

Black Tea Window Cleaner
Who would have thought that black tea could be used as a window cleaner? I think it’s a great idea—so many people drink it, so they have it on hand, and it’s a great eco-friendly alternative to conventional chemical-laden cleaners. I didn’t come up with this idea myself—the tea experts at Choice Organic Teas, makers of…

Blue Cheese Dip
If you like thick, creamy dips and blue cheese, you’ll have to try this! This Blue Cheese Dip is made with plain Greek yogurt (or you can substitute light or fat-free sour cream).

Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Pie
When it comes to pie-making, I’m more of a beginner. I just haven’t made a lot of pies. But I did make a pie for Pi Day, which was March 14. And it was a very easy pie–one with a pre-made cookie crust. All I had to do was mix up the filling and let it…

Trust the Path
TRUST THE PATH, I heard God say. And I knew He didn’t just mean the “medium” difficulty one at Radnor Lake. He meant the questions in my heart, the things I wonder about, the worries that I am going to miss Him. I don’t have to know where things are going; I don’t have to…

Chilighetti
Spaghetti is a favorite dish of mine, and so is chili. I never seem to get tired of them. So of course when I came across a recipe for Chilighetti, I had to try it out!

Gingerbread Granola
It was time for me to make granola again and I love trying out different flavors! So this time it’s Gingerbread Granola. I thought adding some dried cranberries into the mix, a little touch of red, would make it a wonderful granola for the holidays. Have it for breakfast, brunch, or a healthy sweet snack. It also makes a…
