Remember recently I ended up with a boatload of fresh carrots? Now there was no way to consume that many carrots before they went bad.
So I was frantically sharing as many as I could with friends, family & neighbors but there were Still. So. Many. Carrots.
So I dehydrated a huge bunch of them so I could enjoy them all winter long in our hot soups & stews. (you can read about dehydrating carrots here)
These dehydrated carrots look awesome in my pantry in shining glass jars. And they take no additional energy to store such as a refrigerator or freezer.
But I wanted to know how they would taste if I reconstituted them to enjoy as a veggie side dish. Let’s check it out, shall we?

Who doesn’t love dessert? We don’t have dessert every night of course but my handsome RancherMan does have a sweet tooth. Sometimes we like light & fluffy desserts like strawberries & whipped cream.
Other times we enjoy a heavier dessert. It’s not unusual for me to have homemade brownies or even apple pie. Or depending upon how hectic the day was I might take a shortcut and make something easy like homemade chocolate pudding.
A delicious dessert need not take lots of time or effort. Heck one of our favorite desserts is strawberries & fresh whipped cream. Dessert in a flash!

I love strawberry shortcake, don’t you? Recently I wrote about making homemade strawberry shortcake dessert for my handsome RancherMan and two of our grandbabies. It was a lip-smacking dessert that looked and tasted like I’d been in the kitchen for hours.
I’ll never tell them that it was super-easy to whip it all up from scratch – even the shortcake! C’mon y’all, I’ll let ya in on how I did it.

Recently we received some really beautiful garden-fresh strawberries. Oh the beauty of them! I decided I’d use them to make one of my favorite desserts – strawberry shortcake!
But in the past I always bought the little round shortcakes wrapped in plastic when I’d made strawberry shortcake. This time I wanted to make it all from scratch.
So I sat out to find a recipe I liked. I found one on the AllRecipes site that looked pretty straightforward so I decided to give it a try. I mean, these beautiful strawberries deserve the best #amiright??

I like to serve biscuits with scrambled eggs, cheese and a breakfast meat to overnight guests. They call them BOBs (Breakfast-on-a-Biscuit). Making the pre-formed scrambled egg disk is easy.
The beautiful thing is I can make everything in advance & just assemble & enjoy.

Did you know you can make cookies using a cake mix? It’s a huge shortcut when you want to bake a batch of cookies. And cake mix cookies only have 3 ingredients – a box of cake mix, an egg and a softened stick of butter.
Since cake mix cookies are so simple I don’t even need to look up a recipe. I just mix & bake. Check it out, y’all
