I’m not sure where the recipe originated for these squares, but I came across it on Facebook. I shared it on my facebook page and then gave it a try for myself with a few minor changes, which I’ll share with you here. They were a big hit, especially with Ayla. They make such a…

5 Homemade Holiday Gift Ideas
It seems like homemade gifts are all the rage right now. I admit, I’m jumping on board with this fun DIY trend this holiday season. I’m not very crafty, but I like making food, so my homemade gifts are all food-related. So far I’ve made muffin mix, soup mix, dip mix, spice blends, and sweets….
Pumpkin Banana Loaf
You know what I never realized? Pumpkin and bananas go so well together! I made these amazing Pumpkin Banana Muffins from Alida’s kitchen and my family practically inhaled them. They were that good! I made them a few times, and then decided to change things up a bit and turn it into a loaf. I…
Banana Maple Brownies
I love brownies, but I don’t make them very often because I would likely devour the entire pan of chocolatey goodness by myself.

It’s not just because the songs are annoying and get stuck in my head when I don’t want them to (although I do really…
Banana Ricotta Muffins
We’ve been spending a lot of time at the beach and water parks lately, soaking in all this gorgeous summer weather. I usually pack the picnic blanket and some food so we can have a picnic on our outing. The kids love picnics, and it’s cheaper and healthier than buying food when we’re out….

These are all perfect opportunities to make a big batch of salsa for everyone to enjoy. I tried out this Corn and Queso Salsa from Life Made Delicious, but decided that…
