Just one more sweet recipe before Valentine’s Day! I’m a little relieved because all of this sugar around the house is killing me. Target’s valentine section got me good and I find myself digging for all the candy bags in our pantry. It doesn’t help that I’m in full hibernation mode over here. It’s been […]

You know Dasher and Dancer, and the rest of them, but do you recall the most delicious reindeer of all? Yesterday the kids and I made these cocoa krispie reindeer treats. I melted the butter and marshmallows together, and the kids helped me add the cocoa krispies to the pot and topped them with sprinkles […]

Me again! Sending you some Easter cheer in the form of pudding cups. Did anyone else eat the good old worm cups with “dirt” growing up? I think I remember having a couple when I was younger and thinking it was the coolest thing to be eating something that looked like it came from the […]

If I could choose one dessert to eat the rest of my life, panna cotta takes the cake. To me, it’s the best creamy and sugary treat to enjoy and a couple of years ago, I learned that it’s extremely easy to make at home. It’s as simple as whisking gelatin powder, milk, cream and […]

That’s probably because my mind has been in a million different places since we’ve moved. Both Brett and I have been running […]

I’ve been on a sweet kick lately. I’m normally a savory person, but I’ve gotten to the point where I need something sweet every day. It’s ridiculous! I suggest going for walks to some of the ice cream shops in our downtown area a couple of days a week and whenever I’m walking through the […]

Yesterday, we got hit with a taste of warm weather and it’s almost as if I could smell spring blooming in the air. We took full advantage of being able to step outside without freezing our buns off. The kids and I walked to the park and when my husband got home, we took another […]

My husband and I love hosting our friends and family at our house. It’s always nice to gather with people you care about to catch up and enjoy eats and drinks together. The dishes afterwards are the worst, but the memories make up for cleaning off any grime (I’m so cheesy). This past Saturday we […]
