Caramelized Onions
Absolutely love the sweet flavor that develops from cooking onions low and slow with salt, sugar and butter. The caramelization gives the best onion flavor that can be used with anything.

Super Simple Salsa
There are so many types of salsa when you walk into any grocery store. I could be overwhelming if you don’t know what type you are hungry for. That is where this recipe is fun – because you make it yourself. You can take out some of the heat if you don’t want or add…
Easy Homemade Pancakes
Saturday & Sunday mornings are some of the best times in the world! The sun is shining when you get up (only because you get to sleep in), the coffee is hot and open for whip cream topping (a luxury only reserved for weekends), and a fun time snuggling in bed or laughing over something…
