I call this special occasion grilled cheese because you’re likely not going to whip this up for your toddlers for lunch 3x a week but you can definitely make it for a simple dinner made to feel special and a bit fancy. I love this grilled cheese, especially dipped in tomato soup. I’ll post my…

This batch of peanut butter frosting is addicting. It’s so good I find it extremely hard to not just sit down and eat it straight from the bowl I whipped it up in. Here in Finland, to get American style creamy peanut butter you have to pay through the nose for it. Think $7 for…

Chocolate cake is my favorite dessert and this is the world’s best chocolate cake. I’ve hesitated in posting this recipe before because I keep forgetting to make these into a normal 9×13 cake so I can time how long it should stay in the oven. I almost always make cupcakes over cake because my daughter…

Teriyaki Sauce is a recipe everyone should have in their wheelhouse. Homemade teriyaki sauce is so much better than from a bottle and it is actually super easy to make. We love to make chicken and veggie teriyaki bowls with this sauce. You can make this sauce and then put it on both sides of…

Summer is upon us and Backyard BBQ season is in full swing! (I mean, if you’re lucky enough to have a backyard!) I’ve been saving this recipe till I could take a picture of this butter burger that’s worthy of how delicious it is! I typically don’t make the words before the recipe very long…

This burger and fry sauce makes any burger you put it on at least 25x better and makes french fries 50x better, guaranteed! Simple to make but refrigerating for at least 2 hours before serving will definitely improve the taste so don’t skip that step if you can avoid it! If you love fry sauce…

My 3-year-old loves this 3-Ingredient Fresh Strawberry syrup so much she would drink it if we let her. I’m so excited to be posting this recipe. It’s so delicious on pancakes, french toast, waffles, or put a tablespoon in lemonade to make easy strawberry lemonade! If you don’t mind seeds in syrup then don’t even…

This recipe for banana coffee cake muffins was born when I had 3 large bananas that were too far gone to convince my kids or husband to eat them. I think all banana based bread recipes were born this way. Bananas are one of about 3 foods I won’t eat. I didn’t want to make…

If you want a restaurant quality dish to make at home (and that only dirties one pot!), this shrimp and sun-dried tomato pasta is a great option. I love the flavor of sun-dried tomatoes but shrimp is definitely a once-in-a-while type protein in our home so this is not a dish I make frequently. It’s…

It is strawberry season in Finland because it’s strawberry season in Spain where most of the strawberries come from here. They grow strawberries in Finland too but Finland’s strawberry season is a bit later because, hello, it’s cold here like 75% of the year. When we lived in South Carolina we went to a strawberry…
