Turkey Kielbasa One-Skillet Dinner
If you’re from the South, you might be wondering what in the Sam Hill kielbasa is and how you’re supposed to pronounce it!

More importantly, we would fellowship. We would catch up about each of our days, joke, and laugh. Several monthsContinue reading “One-Pan Chicken & Veggie Recipe”
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
When my mom and aunt were growing up, one of the things they did together was make peanut butter cookies. I remember hearing that my gram’s Betty Crocker cookbook would open automatically to the peanut butter cookie page – as if the smeared peanut butter fingerprints and cracked spine knew exactly where the girls wantedContinue reading “Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies”
