Holly Wreaths (Cream Cheese Spritz Cookies)
Hershey’s Peppermint Macadamia Nut Oatmeal Cookies
My house is Christmafied! Yes, that is a word! We got our Christmas tree on Saturday, and boy was that an adventure. My husband and I both grew up going to a Christmas Tree Farm, and cutting down our own tree. Since we have been married though, we have never lived near a place where…
Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes
Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes are a great alternative to classic pumpkin pie. Like the filling of pumpkin pie but in cupcake form! Fall is the time for all things pumpkin! It can be your classic Pumpkin Pie that you make for Thanksgiving or it can be Pumpkin Coffee Cake that you make for brunch on the…
Pumpkin Caramel Monkey Bread Muffins
Pumpkin Caramel Monkey Bread Muffins – Monkey bread with a fall twist. A delicious pumpkin caramel sauce finishes it off perfectly! I just figured out what you should make for breakfast on Thanksgiving. These little pumpkin caramel monkey bread muffins were so good! Before I moved to Iowa I had never heard of Monkey Bread…
Peanut Butter Lover’s Rice Krispie Treats
Did you know that November is Peanut Butter Lover’s Month? A whole month dedicated to us PB Lovers?! How much better can you get? Maybe a PB and Chocolate Lover’s month? Who knows, that may exist. There are so many food “holidays” that I have no idea about. I couldn’t let this month go by…
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars are a great bar to have around this fall. Full of great pumpkin flavor and chocolate chips. My kitchen is unpacked!! I have been spoiled with a large kitchen for the last 5 years. The kitchen in our rental is a very nice kitchen, but it is much smaller than…
Banana Cream Pie with That Skinny Chick Can Bake
We made it to Colorado! It was so nice to know that the long drive was just one way this time. Unfortunately our stuff did not arrive as planned. The driver who was going to drive the truck out “is no longer with the company”. So now, today is the day everything should arrive. …
Rosemary Bread: Guest post with Pass the Sushi
Today all of our stuff is scheduled to be delivered at our townhouse. As I write this, that is the plan at least 🙂 Needless to say, this week there will not be a lot of cooking happening. Or last week either, since my kitchen was all packed up. So I asked a few of…
Homemade Cliff Bars
It is the first Monday of the month which means it’s Secret Recipe Club Reveal Day! I love this day. It is so much fun to share what I made from someone else’s blog, and see what someone made from mine. This month I was assigned This Chick Cooks. And boy does she cook! Katie…
Pumpkin and Sausage Baked Pasta
Hope everyone had a fun Halloween yesterday. After the sugar coma I think everyone is in today, I am making you a healthy pasta dish. It has pumpkin, which when made without all the sugar of a baked good, is really healthy for you. I found this pasta recipe over at I was Born…
M&M Candy Corn Blondies
Happy Halloween! We carved our pumpkins and roasted the seeds yesterday; my son has his costume and is ready to go! It should be a fun night for all the kids. We had a great weekend as a family. My husband was supposed to get here around lunch time on Saturday, but he surprised me…
Monster Snack Mix
I am going to forgo my usual Week in Review today to feature a couple more Halloween treats. I went a little over board with ideas this year! I made this snack mix for my son’s class. He saw it all packaged up and was very upset he had to wait until snack time at…
Creepy Cookie Pizza’s
Hubby comes home tomorrow!!! I am not excited or anything, can you tell! Funny thing is, all through college our relationship was long distance. We would regularly go a couple weeks without seeing each other. But after being married for more than 10 years, and neither of us really traveling for work, I am really…
Bloody Bones
Things are progressing with our house. All the inspections are over and “passed”. We are set to close on December 5th. My husband even found a lot that is worth considering out in Fort Collins. It would be so nice to find something before we moved out there. Then we could send our 6 year…
Ghost Pops
Halloween is just around the corner, and I have another treat for you! I made Cake Pops for the first time, and attempted to make them look like Ghosts. I think there is a lot left to desired with these, but they would still go over very well with kids. Afterwards I thought maybe I…
Spooky Spider Web Cookie
I hope everyone had a great weekend. We went to a local pumpkin farm while my parents were visiting. There were so many fun activities; hay rack rides, giant corn maze, pedal cars, jumping pillow, train ride, animals, haunted house, a playground and so much more. My 6 year old was in heaven! I think…

THE Rice
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…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Blondies
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…
Baguette
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…
