Most Delicious Life
Food * Family * Fun
A mother and daughter sharing our best food, and our secrets to living the happy life with the goal of helping us all create a stronger family unit.
Apple Crumble Cake
When I was a kid my family camped a lot. My mom used to make this in a Dutch oven and "baked it" by sitting it on hot coals and placing more on top. Camping by Swan Lake in the woods and smelling this bake is a wonderful core memory for me. This is a sorta-kinda dump...
Indian Pudding
Indian Pudding is a traditional dish from New England that hails back to the days of the pilgrims. They called it Indian Pudding then and that's what they still call it. It is an essential part of Thanksgiving dinner and everyone has their own special recipe! Some...
Maple & Balsamic Vinegar Brussel Sprouts
My family LOVES Brussel sprouts. We usually just drizzle with olive oil, add a little salt, pepper and garlic powder and roast in the oven. But this version is SO SPECIAL! The sprouts are roasted until crispy and then drizzled in a reduced glaze of balsamic vinegar,...
Apple Pie with a Butter Pastry Top
Here is a little secret, we (mom & I) do not love or even really like apple pie. It just isn't our favorite. We much prefer an apple crisp or apple cake or other apple delicious treats. BUT, there was one magical day when I had a little mini apple pie served to me...
Rosemary Pork Loin
Years ago I was in a dinner club. We were in teams of 2 and once a year each pair would take a turn to host a really nice dinner party for the rest of the group. It was a BLAST and to this day I have lasting friendships with those girls and also tons of recipes I got...
Tortellini Ceasar Salad
Last summer I was invited to an evening potluck/garden party with a bunch of girlfriends to celebrate our friend who had just had her yard landscaping done. I was asked to bring a salad. I was just BORED with all my salads. It was August, and I had been making and...
Rhubarb Custard Cream Bars
I absolutely love my grandma's Rhubarb Custard Pie and I wondered if I could turn that recipe into bars. So I mashed up her pie recipe with my recipe for Strawberries Cream Bars and WOW! It WORKS! My Aunt Judy happened to be visiting when I made these and she ate two...
Beef Lombardi
I would love to tell you the origin of Beef Lombardi but there are too many competing stories and nobody knows which is true. Here's what I do know! It's a vintage recipe...it's been around for awhile! It's DELICIOUS. Like seriously good. There have been...
S’mores Bars
I have a secret. I DO NOT really like S'mores all that much. If you see me making one at the campfire, it is solely for tradition's sake. So, I cannot really explain why I can't get enough of these S'mores Bars! Is it because they are less messy? Because the chocolate...
Blueberry Lemon Cookies
Blueberry Lemon Cookies are the perfect summer cookie. The dough has a butter base with zesty fresh lemon and bursts of blueberry! Throw in some white chocolate and DONE! I miss baking cookies in the summertime and these are the perfect bridge into autumn baking, but...
