These looked so pretty, so I just had to try them! I don’t know what it is about almond extract, but almost every recipe I try with it as an ingredient is amazing. And this recipe was definitely that!! The almond and cherry flavor perfectly go together, and the cupcakes are so moist and fluffy. […]

Easter Mini Cakes
This is a fun recipe that my daughter picked out for us to do in celebration of spring and Easter coming up. Usually I don’t really like cookies that are made from a cake mix because they are almost too light and fluffy, but these turned out really good. The recipe calls for Pillsbury Pink […]
Tortellini with Peas and Prosciutto
Tried this recipe the other day, and I gotta be honest, I’ve never tried proscuitto so I was a little bit apprehensive, but I loved this. Just goes to show that I need to start trying new things more often. The proscuitto has a little bit of a different texture, kind of rough, but it […]
Cinnamon Crunch Cobblestone Muffins
I made these for my kids the other day for breakfast. They were so super easy, and so super good! Kind of like a sticky bun, except not sticky. The only thing that frustrated me about this recipe is, well in the morning I’m always trying to get on top of things, doing dishes etc […]
Molten Cinnamon-Chocolate Cakes
You know those moments when you say to yourself, “I’m just going to have a bit.” And then you end up eating the entire thing. Yeah, that was me with these last night. They are so good! Absolutely to die for!! I didn’t have a jumbo cupcake tin, so I just used my normal cupcake […]
Pork Chops with Apples and Stuffing
I wanted to make something a little out of my comfort zone, so I chose this recipe. I’ve never made pork chops before, and this recipe just was so different that I had to try it. It was actually surprisingly easy! Even better then how easy it was, was how yummy it turned out. Which […]
Waffles from Scratch with Homemade Maple Syrup
Saturdays tend to be big breakfast days at our house. It’s the one day when we don’t have something going on, so it’s a good day to try more elaborate recipes. This is the breakfast we had this week. Whenever I make waffles I usually make them from the Bisquick mix, but I wanted to […]
Mexican Wedding Cookies
I was craving these yesterday, so I had to make them! I usually make these cookies to go onto my goody plates at Christmas time, cause I think they kind of look like snowballs, so they go with the theme. But also because they are amazing and it’s something I’m proud to give away to […]
Country Pinto Beans
It’s about time for another dinner recipe. My mom made this for me growing up and it’s awesome and super healthy for you. Just a few little hints before you start. First, you need to sort through your beans and make sure there are no bad beans, rocks, or foreign objects. You don’t want these […]
Orange Cream Pop Cupcakes
I bought a cupcake magazine the other day, and this recipe was screaming at me to try it! I love orange cream-sickles, so I was super excited about this cupcake. But there are positives and negatives. Taste gets a plus! It’s creamy, it’s orange, and it’s so yummy. On the down side, the cupcake itself […]
