There is something so satisfying in helping others out. This week for the Secret Recipe Club – Group D reveal, April needed an extra hand to make something from an orphaned blog and she asked if I would do it. Usually I get it made super fast, but we were gone all morning and I [...]
This week’s theme is Summer Salad Recipes & Fruit (Watermelon, Cantaloupe, Honey Dew, etc.) I made Watermelon Jelly, not jam (explanation below)!

This Ranch BLT Sandwich is AMAZING! It’s like a Salad in a Sandwich! Who’s hungry? Sometimes you just need an easy recipe for lunch. This Ranch BLT sandwich is a wonderful summer lunch – doesn’t require a ton of heat and is delicious and loaded with great veggies. The other thing I love about this, [...]
