​Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups​

I won't lie, knowing how easy it is to make these has caused many a batch to be made at 9pm over the last decade! But, it's totally worth it!

We skip the store-bought candy (especially at this time of year) and opt for the homemade version instead! You can use Lily's dark chocolate and your choice of powdered or liquid sweetener to make this low-carb friendly as well!

​Homemade Marshmallows​

Soft, fluffy, and made with real grass-fed (and kosher) gelatin! We keep a batch of these on hand (in the freezer) during the entire fall so that we can have s'mores or hot chocolate whenever we want!

I have two different versions that are both delicious!

• ​Make your marshmallows with maple syrup or honey​
• ​Make your marshmallows with sugar (no corn syrup)​

Either way, these are a must-have during the cold weather seasons!

​Canning Cherries for Pie​

I love canning things to make my life easier in the future, and cherries are no exception! If you are growing them yourself, save this recipe for next year, or consider buying them in bulk from suppliers who offer them year-round.

We like to pour these over a homemade cheesecake, use them for cherry pie, or just enjoy them from the jar!

​Easy Vegetable Soup​

If you have canned vegetables on the shelf, this soup takes less than 5 minutes to pull together. But even if you are making this with fresh vegetables, it still only takes about 30 minutes! Perfect for feeding a crowd or enjoying over several days. Serve with a side of homemade bread for the perfect dinner on a cold night!

​Homemade Sloppy Joes​

Ok, this might date me a bit, but I remember my mom opening a can of sloppy joe sauce to pour over a pound of ground meat for dinner... and it was amazing! But now, instead of opening a can from the store, I just make the sauce myself (it's super easy)! Ready in just 30 minutes with all whole ingredients, you will love this homemade version!
