🍑 Summer Pies, Homemade Jam & Easy Slow Cooker Dinners

Good morning and Happy Saturday! Around here, the kitchen is still a construction zone, which means I'm doing a lot more dreaming than cooking this week. 😊 Between planning cabinet organization, counting down until I can actually use my new kitchen, and trying not to think about washing dishes in the bathroom sink... I've rounded up some of my favorite summer pies, homemade jams, and easy slow cooker dinners. Whether you're planning your Fourth of July menu or just looking for something...

Hello and Happy Sunday! One of my favorite parts of sharing recipes isn't the food—it's the people. Over the years, so many of you have become friends, and I love getting the chance to share a little more of the stories behind Bowl Me Over. This week, I had the chance to put together something especially close to my heart—a Community Spotlight featuring my mom, who will soon be celebrating her 85th birthday! Looking through family photos and sharing a few stories brought back so many...

Hey friends! I got a great email from a reader after I shared my Orange Chicken recipe yesterday, and I thought this idea was too good not to pass along! She had a few bags of frozen Perdue chicken nuggets hanging out in the freezer and decided to try them with the orange sauce. While the nuggets baked in the oven, she mixed up the sauce using Smucker's Orange Marmalade, low-sodium soy sauce, and Ray's Original BBQ Sauce. As soon as the nuggets came out hot and crispy, she tossed them in the...

Good morning and happy Sunday!!! Most days around here we're talking about casseroles, cookies, and what's for dinner. But every now and then it's fun to mix things up a little! While looking through the blog this week, I realized I have quite a few travel posts tucked away that I've barely shared over the years. That seems a little silly after spending the time to write them! So today, along with some tasty recipes, I thought I'd take you on a quick trip to one of my favorite destinations....

Good morning! Since Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner, let’s have a quick avocado chat—because no one has time for brown, sad guac, right?!! A reader asked how to keep them fresh, and my friend Rita has the smartest solution… she freezes them! She grabs a bunch, preps them, and pops them in the freezer so they’re ready whenever the craving hits. And wait until you see her YouTube video—it’s a quick watch, fun, and one of those “well that just makes too much sense” moments. Total game...

Hey my friend, good morning to you! Well, we officially approved the design for the kitchen. They will be emailing me a copy next week and I can't wait to share it with you! Our contractor has to come by and double check one last measurement and we're good to go! Both exciting and scary at the same time. It's a big undertaking, but we are so excited. I think the hardest thing will be doing without a kitchen sink for several weeks. I don't think it will slow down recipe development. I'm hoping...
