After years of this blog, hundreds of recipes, and always using easy ingredients, I still didn’t know y’all needed it THIS easy 😂 The main ingredient is water. WATER.

This recipe came from a grandmother during the Great Depression who had eight children and made three meals from scratch every single day. She created this pie so her family could still have dessert when times were hard. Flour, sugar, butter, vanilla, and water - and it turns into the creamiest, most buttery custard pie that tastes like a warm vanilla cookie. Tell people what’s in it and just watch their face 🥧

I was not a squash person for most of my life and this casserole is what changed my mind. 🧀 Yellow squash and onion cooked tender, folded into a creamy cheddar and Ritz cracker mixture with eggs and milk, topped with more of that buttery cracker and cheese and baked at 350 until golden. Half the crackers go inside and half go on top and that crunch on the crust is everything. My kids ate it without a single complaint and did not even ask what was in it, which is exactly how I planned it.

This Creamy Tortellini Soup is the kind of home-cooked comfort that brings everyone to the table.

Made in one pot and ready in 35, this comforting, super easy soup will make even the dreariest days feel a little brighter!

Up here in North Alabama, vinegar-based BBQ is what we grew up on and this chicken version is every bit as good as the pulled pork at any joint in town. 🍗 Chicken breasts, apple c***r vinegar, salt and pepper, and the crock pot does the rest. Four to five hours on high and that chicken falls apart before you even touch it with a fork. Pull it out, pour two cups of that cooking liquid back over with brown sugar, hot sauce, and red pepper flakes, and let it soak back in. Pile it on a bun with coleslaw and a drizzle of Alabama white sauce and that right there is supper done right.

I made these grasshopper brownies last week and I am still thinking about them. 🍫 Fudgy brownie on the bottom, mint Oreos baked right in the middle, that creamy green peppermint layer on top, then chocolate ganache over everything. You slice them straight from the fridge and every layer just hits perfectly. My kids demolished them before I could even get a good picture and that tells you everything you need to know.

Summer cooking is a whole different vibe and we’ve got the recipes to prove it. Grilled everything, cold salads, frozen treats, fresh fruit desserts, and all the sides that belong at a cookout. No heavy winter casseroles, no turning the oven on for an hour when it’s 95 degrees outside. Just easy, seasonal food that tastes like summer and doesn’t keep you in the kitchen all day when you should be outside with your people ☀️

My husband does not count soup as a real meal and even he asked for a second bowl of this one. 🍝 Butter, onion, carrots, and garlic cooked down first, then chicken broth, a little Dijon, and a whole package of five cheese tortellini. Stir in evaporated milk, fresh spinach, and Parmesan at the end and that broth gets so rich and creamy. Thirty five minutes, one pot, and serve it with crusty bread. That's supper right there.

Real maple syrup in the dough and maple extract in the frosting and these cookies are something else entirely. 🍁 Soft and chewy with that deep caramel maple flavor all the way through, then a pillowy maple frosting piped on top in a little rose swirl. Use the real maple syrup, not pancake syrup, that part matters. Twelve minutes at 350 and my kids ate half the batch before I even got the frosting made.

This pie makes its own crust while it bakes and if that’s not magic I don’t know what is. Oh wait, yes I do.. Five minutes of prep!! Blend everything together, pour it in a pie dish, and the oven does the rest. Serve it cold on a hot day and watch it disappear at whatever church supper, cookout, or Tuesday night dessert situation you bring it to! 🍋
