This is the best zucchini recipe you’ll ever have! Decadent Zucchini Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting. I typically don’t grow zucchini every year, because it always overwhelms the garden and I end up with a freezer full of it. Whenever I have extra I give some away (of course!), but a lot ends up …

Strange name, but absolutely delicious. Frog Eye Salad is a combination of pasta salad, fruit salad, and a yummy dessert. For as long as I can remember, my mom has made frog eye salad for different social events, barbeques, and picnics. I finally decided to try it myself, since I’ve never made it, and …
I was once told that the characteristic traits that first attract you to your spouse end up being the ones that usually irritate you the most about them once you’re married. I don’t remember where I heard that, but I think it’s good to remember. How we choose to see the strengths and weaknesses in …
