DIY Moisturizing Night Cream for Dry Skin
I told myself when I ran out of my last jar of moisturizing night cream, I would try making my own. I had all the ingredients on hand, so I was ready to try this DIY recipe I had found at The Lady Prefers 2 Save. It’s supposed to be similar to Oil of Olay…

Apple-Zucchini Bread
Apple-Zucchini Bread just seems so perfect for this time of year—early fall is when I’m inspired to bake apple-flavored things!

Shoepeg Corn Salad with Honey Dressing
I was looking through some old recipes I’d clipped from magazines awhile ago and came across one for Shoepeg Salad. It sounded like a great side dish for summer. I found some other variations on this salad at different recipe sites and ended up making my own version. This is a sweet, crisp salad; some sites describe it as a “relish.” It’s great…

Veggie Chip Salad with Avocado
Potato chips remind me of summertime—I guess it’s because they always seem to be at picnics and cookouts! I’m not a heavy potato chip eater, and maybe because of that, the last bag of chips I bought at the grocery store about a month ago seemed super salty and greasy to me. Then I heard about Tyrrell’s…

Lemon Artichoke Hummus
I love hummus! I love artichokes! So it was obvious that I needed to make an artichoke-flavored hummus! I used a little more lemon juice in this than I usually do when making hummus, so it turned out to be a Lemon Artichoke flavor. I loosely based my recipe from one I saw at Allrecipes, using most of the…
