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 – 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…

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…
Chocolate Chip Cookies – classic thick and chewy chocolate chip cookies. Nothing beats a warm chocolate chip cookie straight out of the oven.
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…
Let it be known (not that it was a secret before), I like peanut butter and chocolate together. I have seen so many different versions of peanut butter and chocolate brownies floating around. Some have peanut butter cups, some have just peanut butter, others have peanut butter chips or other candy. Well I had to…
This summer I saw a few different Fool recipes floating around, and all of the claimed that Fool is a traditional English dessert. My Grandma was born and raised in England, my Dad was born in England, and he still has lots of family there. So I was shocked I had never heard of this…
A couple things to take care of before I get to this yummy dip. I drew for the Peeler Giveaway. Random.or came up with #39, Carolyn of All Day I Dream About Food was the lucky winner. Carolyn, I need your address so I can get them in the mail to you! The other big…
Fresh Salsa Recipe – the best fresh tomato salsa with just a handful of ingredients. So easy to make it will be on repeat with all those tomatoes from the garden!
Here is another bread that I made using the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. I don’t really know what Fougasse means, but it looked neat with the cut outs, and my husband loves red peppers, so I decided to give it a go. Being that I can’t stand bell peppers, I didn’t…
A friend of mine let me borrow her Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. This book is great! Who doesn’t love fresh baked bread? I mean really, what isn’t to love? It is pretty much perfect. The recipes in this book are really easy. You start with a base recipe. You spend about…
If you are looking for me today, I am over with Chef Dennis at A Culinary Journey. Yes, you heard me right….CHEF DENNIS!!!! I know, I was shocked when he asked me too. I mean, really, he is Chef Dennis. A real live chef. And I am on his radar? Wow! Anyway…I made this amazing…

Chocolate and Peanut Butter is obviously a classic combination. Usually you see it in desserts, but why not have it for breakfast? I saw this recipe over at The Kitchenarian for her Muffin Monday series. I knew I had to make them. Muffins are always a hit here, chocolate and peanut butter is always a…
