Things are about to go Halloween around here next week. I have something special planned for you tomorrow, and then next week prepare for Orange, and Spiders, and all things Gross! In the meantime though I have these amazing Cupcakes I want to share with you. They are pumpkin, so they are the perfect prelude…
We are now officially into things I have made since my husband moved to Colorado. Things he took to Colorado include our (my) camera! So I am stuck with my seriously old point and shoot. Which is such a shame with amazing breakfasts like this, you get stuck with not great pictures. But….I will get…
I missed posting something yesterday, sorry about that. I realized after I left for our weekend trip that I didn’t have any pictures on my laptop. We didn’t really have internet access at our cabin in Colorado anyway, so I am not sure it would have mattered. So I will give you this delicious treat…
What a great week!! We accepted an offer on our house! I get to see my husband again (even if only for 2 1/2 days)! And we get to spend time in Colorado. Could you ask for anything more out of a week? I hope all of you have had a great week as well. …
THE Rice – this rice is a super easy side dish the whole family will love. Mushrooms and french onion soup give the rice lots of great flavor. Photos for The Rice were updated 12/12/14 We have accepted an offer for our house! YEAH!!! Our house was on the market for 41 days, which seems…
I almost forgot to write this post. We got an offer on our house last night, so the whole night was spent discussing what to do. Do you take the offer, or do you counter? Too much stress!!! I just want it all over, so we can move out to Colorado and be a family…
Fall is here, and I think fresh baked bread is in order. Really, fresh bread is good all year round, but something about fall makes it the perfect comfort food in my opinion. One of my favorite breads of all time is a Baguette. When I was 17 I had the opportunity to go to…
It is that time again….Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day! Don’t know what Secret Recipe Club is? Go check it out here! Amanda puts so much work into coordinating this fun event each month. Thanks Amanda, you do a wonderful job! This month I was assigned I Was Born To Cook. Melissa has an amazing blog! …
It has been a great week! My 6 year old and I survived our first week alone, and it went well! I actually cooked every night (I was worried about cooking for just the 2 of us), and we have had fun. I am the one that is usually short on patience in our house,…
I have said it before, I will say it again. The blogging community is so supportive and an amazing group to be a part of. I was nominated by fellow bloggers for the “Best New Blog” award. I am so honored to be nominated, and I am in some amazing company. The voting is now…
I wish I liked coffee. I can’t even count the number of coffee drink recipes out there that I am tempted by. But I just can’t get over the coffee flavor. Years ago a coworker was determined to get me to like coffee. He would come in with the fanciest drink you could think of…
Last week I promised to post the appetizer recipes I brought to our going away party. Well that day has arrived. It was worth the wait trust me. Big Soft Pretzels…..only bite sized! Big Soft Pretzels are always a hit. At the mall or at the ball park you always see them, and want them! …
I don’t usually post on Sundays, but I wanted to make sure you all new about this great event that is going on. Erin over at The Spiffy Cookie is having a Bake Sale. Go HERE to see what is up for sale! A friend of Erin’s twin brother, Dave, was in a motorcycle accident…
I am going to make it quick this weekend. I am in Minnesota with my best friend spending a little time together before I move. The rest of the weekend is being spent with the “girls” side of my mom’s family. We try to get together once a year to have lunch, shop, and hang…
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies – Fudgy brownies with a layer of egg free peanut butter cookie dough topped with even more chocolate! I am pretty sure that cookie dough might be one of my favorite things. These Cookie Dough Truffles are like heaven. You get to have edible cookie dough you don’t have…
Over the weekend we had some great friends throw us a going away party. It was so much fun to get to hang out with everyone before we move. I had to convince them to let me help with the food. It is after all, kind of what I do! In the end I was…
I am sitting here trying to figure out what to tell you today. I am struggling. I could talk about the weather. It was in the 60’s here today. Kind of windy and overcast. I could tell you about my day. I went running today. Ran for 5 miles, it was a tough 5 miles…
Chocolate Chip Cookies – classic thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies. Nothing beats a warm chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven. There is just something about a fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookie that can’t be beat. I think by this point we all know that I am a huge fan…
Citrus Garlic Chicken with Coconut Lime Rice – Chicken dinner made with tons of citrus for a bright and fresh dinner. Plus rice cooked in coconut milk and toss with lime for the perfect side dish. I love a good chicken dinner. And I think that most people do. It is just so darn easy…
It is the first official weekend of fall! Anyone have any fun fall things planned? We have a busy weekend, but nothing fall like. I was hoping to pick apples, not sure we will be able to fit that in. Tonight our wonderful friends are having a going away party for us. Only 5 days…
