I love to cook, but obviously there are times it doesn’t happen, or we need something that will be ready quickly. One of our favorite place for ready made foods (and loads of other things!) is Sam’s Club! We’ve never lived near a Costco, so I have no idea how they compare, honestly. I grew…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Sam’s Club Favorites
I love tomato soup- it’s probably my favorite of all the soups. I mean, I love a lot of different soups, but to eat with a sandwich, tomato is my favorite. Normally I keep a few cans of Campbell’s tomato in the pantry along with Progresso chicken noodle (Steven’s fave) for the occasion we decide…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Small Batch Tomato Soup
We live in the south, Texas to be exact. You cannot live in the South and not like/ eat okra. It’s just a thing. Some of my favorite memories growing up were going to my grandparents’ house for lunch after church and my grandma making fried okra and fried squash as a side. I love…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Roasted Okra
For as long as I’ve known my husband, chicken and dumplins have been at the top of his list of favorite foods. When we had been dating for about a year, I went with him to visit his hometown and his mom gave me a dumplin lesson. It was a fun little bonding experience, and…… Continue reading Chicken and Dumplins

I’m not always the best at it, but that premise is how these delicious cookie bars were born. Four ingredients and thirty to forty minutes, and you have a…… Continue reading Caramel Toffee Pecan Bars
If there is a special occasion around here, you can almost bet your bottom dollar we will be eating beef tenderloin. This recipe is pretty foolproof and is always delicious! We typically pair it with scalloped potatoes, mac and cheese, and asparagus, and it becomes an easy fancy meal for any occasion. I use the…… Continue reading Beef Tenderloin
Firecrackers were new to us several years ago when we were in residency, and a fellow resident wife sent some to our spouse alliance bake sale. They were one of the first things to go, and were so popular that I knew I needed to figure out how to make them at home. Several years…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Firecrackers
Need a last minute dessert to take to Thanksgiving, or a simple sweet breakfast to snack on while you cook Thanksgiving morning? This is 2 ingredients (3 if you want chocolate chips!), and is so simple and delicious! I made this last week for our church Thanksgiving potluck and it could not have been easier…… Continue reading Red Bank Recipes- Pumpkin Spice Cake
Happy Wednesday, y’all! Here’s a little life update with What’s Up Wednesday with Shay and Sheaffer! What We’re Eating… Y’all. I know this shouldn’t be that big of an accomplishment, but we have gone over a week without eating out at all. At all. Not even lunch. Like I said, this shouldn’t be that amazing,…… Continue reading What’s Up Wednesday {3.27.19}
Anyone else remember going back to school every year and either saying this aloud the first day of school, or having to write an essay about it? I can’t wait for our summers coming up and making fun memories for our kids to write/talk about when they get back to school, and we decided to…… Continue reading What We Did For Summer Vacation
