Fresh Peach Muffins


Oh how I love peach season! Not only do we love to just eat fresh juicy peaches, but oh the yummy things you can make with them. 

With school back in session, some of our favorite traditions will return.  One of my favorite traditions is, Muffin Monday.  Each week the kids take turns picking their favorite muffin.  With only three kids, that leaves me one week that I can try new recipes that I have found over the month.  I have tried to find a good peach muffin recipe, but failed every time. But, persistence pays off, because this recipe is a gem. The muffin is moist with just the right amount of peaches and the crumble topping makes the muffin over the top.

Give these a try, you won't be disappointed!  Look for more peach recipes as the season has just begun!

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Scrumptious Sugar Cookies

Sugar cookies are one of my favorite things to make with the kids! It's tradition to make them for a few different Holidays including Valentine's Day. While decorating is the usually the main purpose in making these, over the years I have tweaked the cookie recipe and frosting to make them absolutely scrumptious as well! So much yummier that buying a store-bought mix and canned frosting.  I would even be so bold as to say I think they are every bit as good, if not better, than Swig and Crumble! Give them a try and see if you agree.   My Scrumptious Sugar Cookie Frosting is an ultra creamy, cream cheese frosting with a few extra additions that put it over the top! Sour Cream adds to the creaminess and takes the sweetness down a notch.  The frosting is still plenty sweet but not sickeningly so.  Butter Vanilla Emulsion is my other secret weapon that really elevates the flavor of this frosting! It can be found on Amazon, or in a craft store like Michaels,  but...

Great Harvest Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

Kirsti sent me this recipe about a year ago and we've made it several times since.  It's easy and delicious!  I love making Pumpkin Bread in the fall when the scent of pumpkin and sweet spices fill up my kitchen.   Sometimes I surprise Brynlee with this for an after school snack and it never fails to brighten her mood after a long day.  In fact, I think this delicious pumpkin bread would brighten anyone's day!
