Happy New Year, friends! We rolled the new year in quite quietly. My goal for December was rest and refreshment, and that’s exactly how December 31 found me! I have no regrets about that! After a busy week of Christmas activity, it was a blessing to slow things down.

Peach Cobbler for Two
Because there are just the two of us eating most meals at our house, and because we try to eat healthy most days, I attempt to not keep sweets on hand! But when a celebration comes along, it seems that dessert is a special addition to the meal!
Recently on Father’s Day, I went to Taste of Home’s site to scroll through their recipes created specifically for two. I love that they offer scaled down portions! When I came across a small Peach Cobbler, I knew I had found the sweet treat we would enjoy! This was so easy and had amazing final results!

Low Calorie Pineapple-Orange Cake
I have recipe today that is FAST, DELICIOUS and incredibly EASY! How about 2-ingredients for the cake? Yep, two. T-W-O! Cake mix and crushed pineapple is all it takes for the cake portion of this recipe. The icing has more – it has THREE ingredients! Another good thing about this yummy, moist cake is that it is a light dessert. It’s not calorie-free, of course, but compared to most cakes, this one is reduced in sugar and fat.

The Cookie Recipe That’s Hard to Resist
The recipe I’m sharing today brings a bit of nostalgia to my heart. I remember eating these cookies as a little girl when my mom would make them as an after school treat. They were my FAVORITE cookie!
Everyone needs a cookie recipe that can be finished in 30 minutes because there are times that you need dessert in a hurry. There are also times when a person craves a dark fudgy chocolate cookie that is easy to make and hard to resist! These are made with oats, so they’re also gluten-free!
A couple weeks ago when I was at my parents’, I wanted to make something sweet for my dad and remembered that he loves these cookies, too. I pulled up my blog for the recipe and found that it wasn’t there! After posting my favorite recipes for thirteen years, I can’t believe I haven’t shared this one before now! I’m going to fix that today!

Catfish Po’boy Sandwich and An Old Fashioned Dessert
The meal I’m sharing today reminds me of childhood, only we’re going to take something simple and make it a little more special!
I love fish, but I especially love a fish sandwich! I recently tried a Cooking Light recipe for Catfish Po’boy with Hoisin-Peanut Sauce. It was as amazing as it sounds! I used frozen catfish filets and we grilled them. That alone added a great flavor to the fish, and of course it cooked up in no time. This peanut sauce takes it up a whole new notch, adding great flavors to the sandwich!
