We had my dad’s 60th birthday last weekend and we had all sorts of treats there. My Aunt Dana makes his favorite pie…apricot pie!

I love making things homemade, but some things are just easier bought from a store already done. Before I had these pickles, I would’ve assumed pickles were one of those things.

It’s super easy and probably the MOST delicious bread I’ve ever tasted. It’s a sweeter bread. Ingredients: 1. 3 cups self rising flour 2. 1 cup sugar 3. 12 oz. beer (any kind you
There are many different meatloaf recipes out there and I’ve tried many…this one is my favorite. Not only is it delicious, but it’s a healthier version since it’s TURKEY meatloaf.
