I am excited to be guest posting over at Caleigh’s Kitchen today! I was so happy when Amber emailed me and asked me to guest post. I love her site. She is very creative, and makes wonderful things in the kitchen. Amber is visiting one of my favorite parts of the country this week, Yellowstone! …
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…
I saw this recipe on That Skinny Chick can Bake awhile ago. I was immediately sold! I had tomatoes and rosemary in my garden, and this was the perfect thing to use them in. Well, I couldn’t wait for my tomatoes – they just aren’t turning red! So I used canned tomatoes, and it awesome!…
Until recently I didn’t think that I liked Blackberries. Not sure how I came to this conclusion, but I have been going off of it for years. Then they were in a fruit salad recently, and I was feeling adventurous and thought what the heck. I live on the edge, don’t I? Well, I liked…
My son is obsessed with cheese crackers. I mean obsessed. He could probably live on Goldfish, Cheese Nips, Whales….all of them! So when I saw Katrina make Homemade Cheese Nips, I was in awe! I knew I had to do it. But I don’t have the cute pastry cutter she has, so I had to…
Nutella is the stuff dreams are made of. Everyone loves it, and we all can find a million things to do with it. So to start I figured why not make my own instead of buying it. I still had tons of hazelnuts left, even after making this pie. I researched a bunch of different…
I think I found a new favorite pasta recipe! I saw this mentioned somewhere, and was intrigued. I had to think about it for awhile though, I was a little nervous. I mean, I LOVE avocado’s, but the idea of that as my pasta sauce made me a little nervous. What would it taste like? …
Time to announce the winner of my Giveaway!! I can’t figure out how to get Random.org’s display here. But it generated number the 44! Lindsey from Lindselicious is the winner of 2 bags of nuts/dried fruits provided by Oh! Nuts!! Congratulations! Back to the strawberries! I had never made strawberries into a drink before, so…
I interrupt my strawberry series to bring you Macarons. Hopefully you will find them equally delicious! Before I started blogging, I had never heard of a French Macaron. Then I saw them everywhere, and everyone made them look so pretty, but they had a reputation of being so technically difficult. I was scared to…
Milky Way’s are one of my all time favorite candy bars. Since I have started blogging I have seen people making all sorts of candy and crackers and other stuff I never would have thought you could do at home. So when I was trying to come up with something to give my son’s…
I received an email from a reader last week asking to do a post on ideas for kids lunches. My first thought was, really? I am not the person to ask. I struggle with this every day! But that being said, I figure there are a lot of Mom’s out there with this dilemma right…
I hope everyone had a great long weekend. We got lots done around our house, our yard, and spent time with friends. It was a good weekend, but now back to reality! At least until Friday when we go to see family for a few days! My Sister-in-Law will be up with her kids from…
Happy Sunday morning to everyone! Hope your weekend is going well, and you have a great start to the week! It has been rainy all weekend here, so we haven’t gotten to do much. I took my 6 year old to see the movie Hop yesterday, very cute! Today….organizing a closet. I know, you are…
Today marks the day I have had my blog for a month!!! Wow, have I learned a lot in a month. And boy, do I still have a lot to learn! I am choosing to live in denial right now that blogger went down yesterday, and my post from yesterday is just lost in cyber…
Friday was Girls Night In, as I wrote about earlier this week. We had a fabulous spread of Mexican food – chips, salsa, guacamole, enchiladas and more! To top off all of this great food, I thought we needed a yummy dessert. This usually is not a problem for me! But, there is a big…
In case you missed it, Cinco De Mayo was yesterday! In honor of this holiday I decided to try a recipe that caught my eye in Shape magazine. I love all things Mexican – chips and salsa, guacamole, enchiladas, tacos, the rice, fajitas….pretty much all of it. I think I could eat it everyday,…
I had printed this recipe from Cooking Light a LONG time ago, and really really wanted to try it. I finally got around to it. I hate it when your expectations are so high, and it just doesn’t live up to it. I love Asian flavors, and pork – so I thought this would be…
Cinnamon Muffins – light and fluffy muffins coated in cinnamon and sugar Muffins have to be one of the best breakfasts you can have on hand for busy mornings. They are super easy to make and freeze beautifully! These Sausage Breakfast Sandwiches might be a close second, but if you like sweet things, muffins are…
My husband has a cold. My son got it on Monday, and then my husband got it. I have managed to avoid it thus far, fingers crossed it can stay that way! So when planning dinner last night, husband says he doesn’t feel like much. What is a girl to do? I was out running…
