Pumpkin Coffee Cake
Who here loves COFFEE CAKE? I remember my mom making it for me before I went to a summer camp as an early teen. I can’t remember ever having it before that, but once I tried it I was hooked. Maybe it’s something about butter, cinnamon and sugar that is so addicting but I knew […]

We’ve discussed our love for soups about a gazillion times here on the site. It’s almost as if there is nothing more delicious than a big, warm bowl of soup when the weather is cold and Christmas is around the corner. Just the thought of this makes my heart swells with happiness. 😀 Because we […]

General Tso’s Chicken
With all the Asian recipes we have on the site it’s no surprise how much we love our Asian food! I think it’s safe to say that it’s my favorite kind of food and my extended family agrees. Unfortunately, only a few of my kids like it and the hubby isn’t a fan. 🙁 That […]

Have I mentioned my love for potatoes?! The starchy vegetable is my favorite, and it’s probably a favorite of yours too since I haven’t met a person who doesn’t like potatoes. 😉 Ever since I was little, mashed potatoes have been a favorite and is something my mom made at least once or twice a […]
Taco Casserole
Taco Salad is one of those recipes that I can remember eating since I was a little girl. I always enjoyed it but never realized why I remembered it so well being a staple dinner in our home. Now that I’m a mom myself and realize just how yummy and easy it is, I know why […]

Green Bean Casserole
Today’s dish happens to be one of the recipes I dreaded as a child. I hated green beans, and I hated onions so this recipe was pretty much the epitome of everything I despised when I was younger. I think I’ve grown up (for the most part) because this is now one of my favorite […]

Yes, we do have regular Mashed Potatoes as well (recipe to come later this week), but we […]
Black Bean Dip + #FuelURAdventure
The end of July and August in Arizona means monsoon season. That means that temperatures drop a little (we were excited about it only being 105 degrees the other day!), and it is easier to get out during the day for what my family affectionately calls “Merkley Adventures.” These sometimes include going swimming, bowling, or […]
