Rio’s Salsa
This is my mom’s version of our favorite restaurant’s salsa. I used to hate chunky salsa growing up, like Pace Picante or Pico De Gallo. But I’ve always loved the smooth, restaurant style salsa. My mom would make this weekly. It creates quite a bit so we’d use it throughout the week with any mexican…
Quick and Easy Frog Eye Salad
This is one of my favorite summertime treats! You can really add any variation of fruit to it that you like. I like to make it “lighter” by using fat free or light cool whip and using sugar free vanilla pudding. I swear, you can’t taste the difference. It’s the perfect, quick and easy summer…

Chocolate Eclair Cake
This is one of my all-time favorite desserts. It was a Sunday favorite in my house growing up and we used to beg my mom for it. If you love eclairs, you will love this eclair cake. It’s basically one giant eclair; the crust is light and fluffy and the filling is simply delicious. One…
Perfect Peanut Butter Cookies
These classic peanut butter cookies are perfect. In every way they are just perfect. I like thick and chewy peanut butter cookies over thin and crispy. And these are just that….thick, soft and chewy! If you want to really kick them up a notch, throw in some chocolate chips!!
