simple recipes, easy clean-up
I’m crazy happy right now. I have been spending countless hours working on beautifying the front and backyard of our little house over the past week. While that might not sound like a lot of fun, it actually has been extremely satisfying to me. I have never claimed to be a gardener, in fact I am positive I have claimed the opposite on this blog before, but I am giving it another go. Last week, with the help of a {Read More}
I’m a sucker for impulse buys. They get me all the time at the grocery store with their clever little displays of chocolate bars conveniently placed at the check out stand. It doesn’t end there. I can recall days when I was 100% sure I needed, no… NEEDED, the “Flex Belt” to effortlessly sculpt my abs while I sat on the couch and ate chocolate bars. My husband would chase me around the house while I was frantically trying to punch {Read More}
I’m a chocolate and peanut butter addict. I’m sure I’m not alone. So on our first leg of our journey to Canada I started day dreaming about the heavenly combination. I even got out my iPhone and started using my “Dragon Dictation” app to brainstorm and record recipe ideas. {perfectly normal} The idea to make a chocolate cup cake with peanut butter buttercream frosting was very logical. Then I had the idea to drop a Reese’s mini peanut butter cup right {Read More}
I’m back again with another pumpkin recipe, and this time I have mashed two of my favorite desserts of all time together. Pumpkin Pie and Pound Cake! Then I made it extra special by whipping up a batch of salted caramel sauce and drizzled it on top. The pumpkin yogurt pound cake is not too sweet by itself, so the caramel really hits that sweet tooth in all the right places. The cake is the perfect blend of dense and {Read More}
Yesterday I asked you on Facebook what your favorite cookie was. I can’t say I wasn’t shocked to find out that Chocolate Chip was at the top of the list. You were pretty specific that it needed to be a soft, chewy, and melt-in-your-mouth kind of Chocolate Chip Cookie. Amen! I couldn’t agree more. There is something nostalgic about a warm, fresh out-of-the-oven cookie. With little bits of chocolate and just the right amount of cookie baked together into the {Read More}
The other day I was strolling through Walmart {cause I’m cool like that} and I came across these Butter Flavor Crisco baking sticks. I was slightly intrigued. Butter flavored Crisco…. hmm… On the package there is a picture of some tasty looking cookies and it gave me an idea. I’m going to try out some Butter Flavored Crisco and make some cookies with it. Then I thought I would bake some cookies with 1/2 Crisco and 1/2 Butter, and then make {Read More}
For most of the country, Summer is coming to an end. Swim suits are on sale, and Fall clothes are showing up in stores. Here in Arizona it’s still blazing fireballs, so it’s the perfect time to pick up a cute swim suit for next to nothing. But that also means I still have to watch my figure. I know what you’re thinking… “How can she watch her figure when she makes treats like these!?” Well my friend, I have {Read More}
You know those people that start random conversations with you when you’re just trying to decide on what type of toothpaste to buy? That’s me. Not the one buying the toothpaste. The one talking to you about the cilantro in your cart. Hi. At least that used to be me when I only had 3 kids. I know I’ve mentioned this before… but for some reason adding just one more kid throws your whole life into a fire-blazing tail-spin of death and {Read More}
My almost-two-year-old is driving me nuts. And not the “pecan” kind of nuts. She used to be this sweet little girl. She’s absolutely adorable, don’t get me wrong… but she has one heck of a scream to her. She was a binky kind of girl up until two weeks ago. I got so sick of her talking with her binky in her mouth that I tied it to a balloon and made her let it go. I’m mean. Apparently she’s trying to get {Read More}
Jenny over at Picky Palate is always bursting with delicious ideas. These Oreo Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies were no exception! She uses an incredible chocolate chip cookie recipe and smashes an Oreo right in between for one knock-out cookie! Now, if you have a tried and true chocolate chip cookie recipe, by all means use that. But this one was perfect. Probably had something to do with the 2 sticks of butter… Just sayin… So here’s the line-up of what you’ll {Read More}
