I’ve been MIA again this past week. Not because of stress this time (thank goodness.) My kids and I went on vacation and had the time of our lives. Happy summer everyone! Let the fun and relaxing begin!

It’s the 3rd Monday of the month again and you know what that means… it’s Secret Recipe Club reveal day. Whoo hoo. This month I was assigned A Couple in the Kitchen. Chris and Amy, husband and wife, are teachers by day and would-be chefs by night. They wrote, “The couple that sautés together, stays together” […]

Who else is obsessed with Pound Cake? Anyone? We are. And by we, I mean my entire family. We love it! And with Father’s Day right around the corner we thought we’d make my Dad a dessert with his two favorite things, peaches and pound cake. Win win! And since we celebrated Father’s Day last […]

I was trying to come up with a different end of the year teacher gift for my daughter’s teacher. She has been such an amazing teacher, I wanted to show her how much we appreciate her. And, as much as I love chocolate, I thought maybe something a little “healthier” might be a nice change. […]

It’s no secret that I’m a HUGH fan of fried foods. I love them. But fried desserts? Holy smokes. My absolute fav! Yep, I’m not too proud to admit it. Me and fried desserts have a love affair that has lasted years. Others have jumped on the gluten free and/or healthy living train, but not […]

One of the things my kids love to have in their lunch at school is the Little Debbie or Hostess mini muffins. We buy them every once in awhile, for a treat (because they are so expensive.) When I was looking through Anita’s blog, Sugar, Spice and Spilled Milk awhile back I saw that her Grandson […]

June 6, 2014 by
OMG! Once again I’ve been MIA for the past week. With the end of the school year I feel like I’m running around like crazy and not even making a dent in my “to do” list. When I’m crazy busy I need to remind myself to breathe, and then laugh. Laughing is good. Hopefully these […]

May 30, 2014 by
We were in the mood for muffins the other day and I remembered seeing these on Pinterest some time ago. They looked sinfully delicious, so, of course, we had to make them. I did make one change and that was I added Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips. (We love, love, love them!) The muffins were light and […]

May 28, 2014 by
Sometimes I just want something that is warm and delicious and pure comfort food. And with the weather here in the Northwest being so unpredictable, this was perfect. We seem to go from 80 degree days to 50 and rain in the blink of an eye. And rain = soup in my book. This Corn […]

May 26, 2014 by
So what do you get a co-worker who’s retiring? Do you get her a gift card? A bottle of wine? A card that says “Congratulations”? I say nothing says happy retirement better than a wine glass with a note on it that says “have a glass for me!” Especially when said wine glass is HUGE […]
