Watermelon Limeade

One of my son’s favorite things about summer is watermelon.  The only other fruit which competes for his “favorite” summer fruit is cantaloupe, or as he pronounces it, “Kay-wope!” or even “Kan-ka-wope”.  But, back to watermelon… I usually buy a whole watermelon, as they are the best deal.  However, that leaves me with…

Simple Vanilla Bean Pudding

When I find myself with an excess of milk on hand, I like to look for ways to use it before the expiration date approaches.  You can freeze it to use later for cooking or baking, but not for drinking or cereal.  I’d much rather whip up something delicious!  Some of my favorite…

Sugar Cookie Cutouts

I love old family recipes.  They mean so much to me, because not only are they the foods that I grew up with, but my family grew up with them as well.  It’s that connection to past generations which makes them all-the-more special.  Growing up, we made sugar cookies for just about every…
