Hey Everyone!! Long time no see! Technically it’s only been seven days, but to me, that is like an eternity not to post, or cook for that matter. The last week has been super busy for me though. Amongst other things, my hubby decided to take off a week for some R&R, my daughter got […]
Chocolate Oatmeal Bars
Hope everyone had a relaxing long holiday weekend. Mine didn’t last nearly long enough, but it’s always nice to have an extra day to be with my hubby and kiddos 🙂 I made these for the family pot luck/barbecue last night. Everyone loved them! And the nice thing is they are so easy. No flour, […]
Cake Stands
Confession!! I am now completely obsessed with cake stands. Don’t know where it came from.?. but yeah, love them. I’m gonna have to start baking some cakes now. Come to find out though, cute cake stands are not easy to come by. I went to JC Penny’s Home Store, Target, Bed Bath and Beyond, Walmart, […]
Tomato and Mozzarella Salad with Pesto
Hey Everyone!! I’m sure all of you are aware that Halloween is coming up soon! Yay! This happens to be my favorite holiday. Christmas comes in a close second, but Halloween has always been my favorite since I was little. So I’m gonna be decking out my posts pretty soon with all Halloween themed stuff, […]
Royal Icing
A friend of mine is having her son’s first birthday today!! So she asked that I make a couple of things for her. One of the things she wanted was baseball themed sugar cookies. Here is the finished product. I’m actually super happy with how they turned out. Especially since this is my first attempt […]
Beef Stroganoff Meatballs
As a kid my mom always made Beef Stroganoff for us. So now it is one of my favorite dinners ever. This isn’t her recipe, but I’ve been wanting to try one from scratch for a while. Personally I prefer the sirloin steaks with this, but the meatballs were a close second. I really like […]
Chocolate Marshmallow Meltaways
The weather is starting to cool down!! And although you can’t tell here in Arizona, I’m sure some places are starting to look like Fall. This morning actually felt cool outside (which for us dessert folk means that it was in the 80’s). We are still hitting over 100 degrees daily though, but I see […]
Pecan Baklava
K, so this stuff is addicting!! You take one bite, and think, “Oh, this is pretty good.” Then before you know it, you’re feeling like you need to go back for another bite, and another, and another. Ugh, it so good! It’s like those cinnamon sugar roasted pecans you get at the fair, except a […]
Cherry Bars
I know it’s not even October yet, but I’m too excited. So, full swing into Halloween foods we go! I made these this last week and I thought they were super fun. Me, my hubby, and my little ones where trying to figure out a fun name to call them, but I couldn’t find anything […]
Meaty Bones
Here is a fun and quick meal for Halloween. The only thing I didn’t like was I thought that there was way too much orange zest in the sauce. It’s completely overpowering. So, if I were to make this again I would only add a little orange zest, not a whole teaspoon. Other then that […]
