Joy In Every Season

Donuts Bring Me Joy!

Ok, donuts don't really bring me joy. But when I get to share them with my favorite littles, then they bring me great joy!! I began this blog, "JOY" in Every Season, to share recipes, but to also post about what brings me JOY in every season of life. I truly believe that it is the little things in life that bring the most joy.

Ebelskivers (Danish Pancakes)

Ebelskivers aka Danish Pancakes are a little bit of family tradition for me.

I have no idea what brand it is, but you can find something similar HERE. For this recipe, you start out by seasoning the chicken, then ... Read More about Lemon Butter Baked Chicken

I grew up eating the latter, and once I tried this, I haven't gone back. ... Read More about Onion Dip

Candied Pecans

I remember growing up when salad was iceberg lettuce, tomato, and cucumber. Add bottled dressing and call it salad. It was good, but not like the salads we eat now. I'll share my favorite go-to salad in the next couple of weeks, but for now, I'll just tease you with the sweet little candied pecans that will top it off. ... Read More about Candied Pecans
