Creamy Dill Potato Salad
If you like dill pickles and dill seasoning, you’ll want to try this potato salad! I’ve had this recipe for awhile and there are three things I really like about it: 1) it has red potatoes in it, which I prefer over regular potatoes, 2) you don’t need to peel the potatoes (I find potato peeling…

Chocolate Chip-Cherry Banana Bread
I love trying different variations on banana bread–there seem to be so many! I’ve made a Chocolate Chip Banana Bread before, which is really yummy, so a banana bread with chocolate chips and cherries in it sounded really good! This quick bread is such a treat and if you want a more elaborate dessert, you can…

Irish Soda Bread
Whenever St. Patrick’s Day comes around, I see different recipes for Irish Soda Bread and I finally decided to try making it! I found a recipe at Kraft that sounded good and it looked pretty easy, too. I modified it slightly and was happy with how it turned out! It has
