I love the summer months for all the free time, late nights full of family fun and relaxed mornings of sleeping in (anything past 7:30 am is sleeping-in to me, lol.)

Apple Pear and Cranberry Coleslaw: If you are looking for a delicious fall twist on your coleslaw, you’ll love this Apple, Pear and Cranberry version! Crunchy, sweet and tangy- it’s the perfect side dish for so many occasions.
I made a big batch of our very favorite, 3-ingredient slow cooker barbecue pulled pork last weekend.

I absolutely love the flavor combination in this coleslaw! The addition of apples, pears and Craisins puts a fantastically yummy twist on a traditional coleslaw recipe.

If you’re one of the many cutting carbs from your diet right now, this Low Carb Spinach Salad w/ chicken bacon, eggs and avocado is just what you need and might very well be your new favorite salad!
It seems that everyone was starting a new diet or putting an emphasis on healthy eating as part of their new year’s resolutions. January may be over but hopefully, for most of us, those healthy eating patterns are still in place.
Carbs are usually one of the first ingredients to go from a diet and while I haven’t made any direct resolutions, I have been trying to eat a bit healthier after the holidays.
If you love barbecue, then you'll love this Skillet Barbecue and Bacon Baked Beans Recipe. The sweet and tangy barbecue sauce combines deliciously with hickory smoked bacon for pretty much the best baked beans ever! (Bonus: this is a recipe that can be made in the oven or over a campfire.)
It's getting to be camping season in Texas! I'm excited to get out of the house with the family and do some camping! (I should probably clarify what I mean when I use the term “camping...”

The Jalapeno Popper rolls are made with premade crescent roll dough so they couldn’t be any easier to make! (and who doesn’t love crescent rolls?)

This “Margarita” flavored Fruit Dip is so fluffy, yummy and easy to make, everyone will love it! It’s perfect for Mothers’ Day, potluck gatherings or just as simple summer fruit dip. (Even better – you can add a shot of Tequila for a true Margarita Fruit Dip.)
I just love a yummy cream cheese based fruit dip! The addition of the orange and lime make this version especially good – so perfect for summer. If you’re feeling brave, you can even add a splash of tequila for a true “margarita” taste. I actually don’t care for the flavor of tequila, plus I make this for my family, so I leave the tequilla out.

Bacon Ranch Corn Dip Recipe – The perfect Game Day Appetizer
I can’t believe we are already halfway through September and well into football season!!
My Hubby enjoys his football watching time and since football is always better with friends, he’s always inviting a few over to watch the game either at our house or sometimes at a local pub (depending on game time, lol.) It doesn’t matter if it’s college or NFL, the guys all seem to get equally riled up over the games.
These super simple Caramel Pecan Apple Slices are a deliciously easy to make fall treat. Even better, they’re already sliced and much easier to eat than a traditional caramel apple!
Apple cider, caramel, cinnamon, pumpkin, nutmeg… these are some of my favorite flavors of fall. (oh yes, I’m talking about you, Pumpkin Spice Latte!) And what’s a better treat for fall than a yummy caramel dipped apple?
Caramel apples are so yummy, but they can also be very messy, especially when kids eat them. It’s all but impossible to eat a caramel apple without getting sticky hands.
