Rice Krispies bring back so much nostalgia for me, and I was feeling inspired so I ended up making my very own Rice Krispies layer cake. Perfect and simple for parties. I also made a Minions Rice Krispies cake here. It was so much easier than I thought it would be! Here's a little tutorial below, trust me you can make one of these in no time. First I made the Rice Krispies ...
Beer Battered Green Beans
Beer battered anything is usually awesome especially when you are from Wisconsin where we beer batter everything. Beer batter is definitely a Wisconsin tradition that gets handed down from generation to generation. Every family has their own recipe that they claim is “the best beer batter ever”, but it really comes down to personal preference. I know that I have gotten into ...

OREO Cookie Balls Holiday Ornaments
One of my favorite parts of the holidays are the baked goods and homemade candies. Who doesn't love chocolate covered goodies? My new favorite are Oreo Cookie Balls, a blend of crushed Oreo Cookies and cream cheese covered in chocolate. They almost remind me of bite sized Oreo Cheesecakes, yumm! We made these and decorated them to look like Christmas ornaments, this would be ...
Slow Cooker Chili
Chili has always been one of my favorite foods to make as well as to eat, for me it signifies the change in seasons and it is such a blank canvas that is really fun to work with. Chili can be sweet, it can be spicy, or it can be somewhere in between, noodles or no noodles, chili can really become an extension of yourself. It is also a great way to learn some basic cooking ...
Cheesy Thanksgiving Turkey Leftover Skillet Recipe
Thanksgiving isn't even here yet, but we had a ton of leftover from our garlic bacon butter turkey. Turkey sandwiches only get you so far, it's time to get creative. When I was doing our Thanksgiving shopping I made sure to pick up a couple boxes of Stove Top, cheddar cheese soup, and some extra cheese with leftovers in mind. Those three ingredients when paired with your ...
Slow Cooker Philly Cheese Steak with Tabasco
Don’t shoot the messenger, but it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. To be fair, in Wisconsin it’s pretty normal to see snow before Thanksgiving. Snow always gives me mixed feelings. I’m not a fan of the cold, the driving conditions, and when the beautiful white powder eventually turns into a grey muddy sludge. I do however love waking up in the middle of the night to a ...
Garlic Bacon Butter Thanksgiving Turkey
This year we held a little Thanksgiving gathering early, since it was so early I started calling it Fakesgiving. Even though it was only the beginning of November we still got to spend time with family that we're thankful for and we still had way too much food. The highlight of our meal was of course our delicious Garlic Bacon Butter Thanksgiving Turkey. Our go-to turkey recipe ...
Lemon Garlic Roasted Vegetables
The holiday season is full of menacingly delicious dishes that are waiting around every corner to give you a heavy punch to the stomach and make you double over with gluttonous agony. From mashed potatoes and stuffing, to coma inducing turkey there are heavy foods on every plate just waiting to fill you up and put you in a sleeper hold. As much as we love these foods they tend ...
Bacon and Sausage Homestyle Dressing
This week we did something that only bloggers would do, we held what I liked to call a #Fakesgiving. We invited 4 family members over for a huge elaborate Thanksgiving dinner. Oh, and by huge I mean we bought a 22 pound turkey and too many side dishes(including the bacon and sausage homestyle dressing that I'm sharing with you today), plus an apple pie for dessert. Since we've ...

We have included some affiliate links in case you need anything to help you make these awesome biscuits! I have a pretty popular recipe for Garlic Cheddar Biscuits that's been pinned almost 20,ooo times (that's a lot!) They're really delicious, but they don't rise as much as I would like. So I decided to go back to my favorite ever Red Lobster copy cat recipe for Simple From ...
