    Cool Whip Cookies

    My mom has been making these cookies for as long as I can remember. I think some may call them Crinkle cookies. The wonderful thing about cool whip cookies is that you can make them in any flavor you want, as long as there is a cake mix for it.

    Weekend Recap

    This past weekend wasn’t going to be overly busy and, before I knew it, it was gone. The only thing we really had planned to do was go on a date Friday evening. We haven’t been on an official date in quite a few months. We’d been using grocery trips as our “date”, which is sad considering we haven’t been married long but definitely shows how old we are. A lot of changes have taken place in our lives over the last five months, some due to the pandemic, some not. Some good, some blessings in disguise. So, Ryan felt that we needed a date night. Who’s Open and Who’s…

    Brownies

    Ryan and I are a part of an Impact Group with our church and we met this past Sunday for Bible study. We always have dinner as a group before our study, so I needed to come up with something to share. I knew they were planning to grill and, with it being Summer, I thought homemade vanilla ice cream would be a nice addition. I had just made a new gallon of ice cream a few days prior, so that was ready to go. But, I needed something to go with the ice cream. Growing up, my grandma usually served brownies with ice cream. The two items just pair…

    Mashed Strawberries

    One of my favorite things to enjoy during the Summertime is mashed strawberries. I like using them as a topping for vanilla ice cream or Greek yogurt. Or, even by themselves!
