This is the recipe that inspired the “Cookin With Brooke” section when I passed it along several years ago. (got the recipe from my mom in 1997!)…

True confession. I’ve NEVER tried overnight oats before. But this sounded intriguing. And if you’ve never tried it either, this recipe is a good place to start!…

Of all the things I look back on from when my kiddos were little, this is the question that haunts me most. Did I clean more than I played? I was very much a “put things in their place” kinda mom…

Where to begin? First of all, with a grateful heart. I can’t thank you enough for all the cards, notes, letters, and prayers you’ve sent my way…

I’m not a patient person…and I don’t usually go physically into the bank. But I needed to the other day. It was very busy. (that’s why I usually just do my banking online!)…

Congrats to Brooke and her HUBBY, The Captain! We are so excited for them! Please join us in praying for them! They tied the knot on February 8th in Cabo San Lucas!…

These are so SPRINGY and SO cute! They’ll look great at your Easter buffet! (oh, and the kiddos will LOVE to help make these!)…

This recipe came from one of my FAVORITE cooks, Deanna House! I’m not sure when we tried this for the first time, because I’m SURE I would’ve turned my nose up at it, but I actually CRAVE it now!…

This was something that was almost always at our summer gatherings. I remember my mom making it and urging me to try it. i said “there’s too many things I don’t like on it’! But I finally tried it…and I LOVED IT!!…

I’ve been hearing and seeing that everyone is making these lately, so I had to give them a try! And I’m glad I did! These are SO delicious…

It wasn’t until recently that I even thought about putting something sweet and dessert-like in a CrockPot. But it’s an incredible thing! These gooey, delicious brownies are going to CROCK your world!…

I’ve seen many people on FaceBook who have tried some version of this. So I had to try to make my own…

Will there be any tailgating around your place this weekend? Try this easy tasty recipe that came straight from one of our favorite Joy99 artists, Michael Cochren!…

Pure vanilla is so expensive to buy. Have you been shocked at the price in the store so you just go ahead and buy the cheaper imitation version? Yep, me too. Well, at least I used to. Now I make my own…
