I’ve made a lot of different kinds of pound cake over the years. Most have been pretty good. A few have been amazing and one or two, eh… not so much. But this recipe for Double Caramel Pound Cake? Oh my heck! It’s definitely in the amazing category! The cake is moist and the frosting […]

If you haven’t noticed yet, I’m not much of a cake maker. I love cake, don’t get me wrong. But for some reason it’s not something I make very often. (Unless it’s pound cake. That’s a whole different ballgame.) I think it’s because I think I’ll end up eating it all myself. And the fact […]

I have mixed emotions about school starting. I love the routine and I love my job so I’m happy. But I also love summer. Maybe even more than having a routine. I waffle back and forth. But my kids are excited for school to start up again. I’m pretty thankful about that! Working in the […]

Warm cinnamon rolls in the morning are one of my favorite things. When they’re covered with cream cheese frosting and filled with gooey cinnamon I just can’t help myself. So when I saw this recipe on Lemon Tree Dwelling I instantly saved it. We had a family beach trip planned and I knew my family […]

Do you call them Magic Bars or Seven Layer Bars? I’m not totally sure what the difference is or if there is one. I went with Magic Bars because they don’t really have 7 layers so that didn’t seem right. And Magic Bars? Well, that just fits. They are delicious! Anything covered in sweetened condensed […]

Yep, we have another Slime Recipe for you today. We’ve made Fluffy Slime which has a “floam-like” consistency. Years ago we made the “original” slime recipe using Borax. But with all the hype about Borax in the news, we like making slime without it. So today we bring you… Glass Slime, or Clear Slime. Please […]

I don’t know about you, but for us, summer is flying by. It’s almost time for school to start back up and I can honestly say, I’m not ready. I’m not ready for the early alarm clocks, helping with homework and, well, going back to work. I like having the summers to enjoy my kids […]

When I was growing up my step-mom was a horrible cook. I’m not exaggerating at all on this one. It was pretty bad. Everything was over cooked or bland. She did have two things she made that were good – hamburger gravy and what she called “Gooey Bars”. When I went away to college […]

This is one of those recipes that you can make at home in your oven and is delicious. Or you can make this outside over a campfire and it’s to die for. Doesn’t all food taste better when your camping? I think so. Case in point – I’d never eat a hotdog at home. But […]

What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
I’m always on the search for fun foods to make for me… I mean my kids. Ah heck, who am I foolin’. I’d make these adorable scooter snacks even if I didn’t have kids. They are so cute. And all the ingredients that I love! Adorable, right? I found this in the August 2010 edition […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
I’ve seen these around blogland for awhile now and wondered if they would be good or just plain weird. My daughter loves corn dogs. So would she love these??? So I hopped on over to My Kitchen Adventures to see what I needed to do. How simple!!! I used a Corn Bread Muffin mix (the […]
My daughter saw these wonderful looking treats in her Fancy Nancy Tea Parties book. (Did I mention we LOVE Fancy Nancy?!) Her books are stupendous (that’s fancy for great!) I did an earlier post from this book as well. Click here to see it. So Ellie saw these and said to me “oh, let’s make […]
This may not look like much but let me tell you… it is delicious! My kids and I love root beer floats and have seen a lot of homemade popsicles out there that claim to be rootbeer floats, but they are imposters. Thanks to Almost Unschoolers for this amazing find because here is a real […]
I can’t believe it’s the middle of October and I haven’t even posted a Halloween recipe or crafts yet. Ugh. Life is a little overwhelming right now but I’ve decided to kick it into gear and get my Halloween on. So the first Halloween recipe for this year is for Candy Corn Cookies. Aren’t they […]
Are these the cutest cookies EVER?!?! Not to toot my own horn. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t invent this recipe. I just stole it =o) But how could I NOT steal it, right?!?! After I saw this cookie on Raina’s blog The Garden of Yum I knew this was the next cookie I was […]
