It’s official, I’m on a giant pasta salad kick. I love everything about pasta, hot or cold. But there’s something about a pasta salad that is easy and so delicious. It’s one of those things I can take for lunch and not have to worry if I’m going to have time to go find a microwave. […]

With how much baking we do in my house it’s ironic that my son’s favorite dessert of all time is Cosmic Brownies. You know. The store bought ones. What the heck?!?! I can’t really blame him, though. I remember as a kid growing up thinking the best “treat” was a store bought cake. My Mom […]

I have a confession to make. I’m in love. Yep, head over heals in love! With these sandals! I’m on my feet a lot during the day. I work in a middle school so I have to keep up with 550 sprouting pre-teens. If that’s not enough to make your feet hurt, add to that […]

I absolutely love toffee and chocolate together and these cookies? To die for! The buttery crust and condensed milk filling puts these Chocolate Toffee Bars at the top of my list. Our cookies didn’t turn out like the picture on Pinterest but when I bit into one of them I realized I didn’t care. They […]

Who doesn’t love brownies? They are one of my favorite desserts with all the chocolatey goodness. They are so easy to make and you can seriously make a hundred different kinds. How could I not love that?! Culinary Envy called these Mind Blowing Brownie Bites. I think I’m changing the name of them. They remind […]

Every summer my Dad organizes a family beach trip. It’s one of my favorite weeks in the summertime. We eat and talk and walk on the beach. It’s relaxing and wonderful and my kids and I love it. One of the things I love about this week is planning what I’m going to bring for […]

When you hear “loaded baked potato” what do you think of? A big baked potato smothered in sour cream, cheese and bacon, right? Sure, because isn’t that what a loaded baked potato is? They are delicious and I could probably eat them everyday but it’s summertime now. I don’t want to cook potatoes in my […]

Happy Labor Day Weekend! I can’t believe I’m writing that. Labor Day! It was just June. I know I’ve been writing “where has the time gone” in my last few posts but, seriously! Where did the summer go? The school year ended with me exhausted, frustrated and I seemed to have lost my desire to […]

A co-worker asked me to come into her classroom and teach her students a fun craft project. The ability level of the kids was completely across the board so I wanted to do something that they all could do. I decided Corner Bookmarks was what we were going to make. I figured the students could […]

Have you ever just wanted to give someone a finger??? Not the finger… a finger. Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. (I’m hoping that’s not a bad thing….) I found this great finger pan from Wilton last Halloween but never got a chance to use it. So it was calling our name from the […]
My kids and I watch a craft show every Saturday morning called Donna’s Day. Have you heard of it? It’s fantastic. She does crafts and recips and all sorts of great things for you to do with your kids. Some of them are awesome. Some of them are for the more Martha Stewart Mom’s out […]
I know today is November 1st and Breast Cancer Awareness month was October but I just had to share this one with you. Plus today is “Wear Pink” day at my school. So, of course I had to bring cookies to help celebrate! And not just any cookies… Mammo-graham cookies. Ha! Get it?! Mammo – […]
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 […]

I know. Don’t judge me. You’re thinking “that’s totally gross!” But admit it… you’re next thought is “but totally cool!” Right? Come on, admit it. These cookies are totally gross and totally cool at the same time. That’s why we had to make them. A friend on Facebook posted this link on my wall […]
