If you look back over my recipes, you will see that I love to make cookies. Cookies are a great way to feed a crowd without having to slave away in the kitchen all day. They generally don’t have to be refrigerated and they are easy to transport. What more could you ask for?
I wouldn’t want to be baking cookies in my kitchen with out my trusty cookie scoop. With this scoop, you can create cookies that are all the same shape and size with out getting your hands dirty.
Just because this dish is gluten-free, it doesn’t mean that it is lacking in the flavor department. The sauce is a quick and easy recipe that you can whip up in minutes. The spaghetti squash is a flavorful substitute for regular pasta. Your kids will not even notice the difference. You can relax knowing that your family is eating a meal that is healthy and tasty.
With love from my kitchen to yours,

I don’t know what my deal is. Every time I make rice, I always have leftovers. I guess it is that when I am measuring the dry rice, it always seems like such a small amount that I start to second guess myself. I end up adding a little more rice and the end result is left over rice.
My mom loves any food with a lemon flavor. So when I made this cake for the first time, I knew that if I shared some with her, it would quickly shoot me to top of the list on her favorite child list!
This cake is so moist and oh so delicious! It would be perfect for a bridal shower, baby shower, or any party that you wanted to impress your guests. It will show them how much you love them!
I have a lot of people in my life who I know would love this cake. I guess I better get to baking!
Until next time,

Don’t you love it when eating healthy tastes good too! This recipe for Garlic Roasted Edemame and Corn is just that. I knew Alton Brown was on to something when I saw his recipe for Edemame Salad. I set out with every intention to make the salad. Once I pulled the roasted edemame and corn from the oven and tasted it hot, I decided to leave it as is. So instead of a salad we had the Garlic Roasted Edemame and Corn as a hot side dish.
Go ahead and give it a try, I have a feeling you will like it too!
Until next time,

If you have never been to Yellowstone National Park, you are really missing out! Last week we went with my husband’s parents and some of his siblings and their families. We stayed for four days. I think next time we need to extend our stay by a day or two. There is just so much to see and do and it is hard to pack it all into a few days!
The first day we stopped in Jackson Hole and stayed in a camp just outside of Jackson. As we were on our way to the camp we saw a bunch of cars pulled over on the side of the road with a bunch of people taking pictures. If you have ever been to Yellowstone, you know that generally means that there is an animal some where around.
Of course we had to get out of our car to see what all the commotion was about. Much to our surprise, off in the trees was a moose with her baby. Keeping a safe distance, of course we took some pictures and were on our way.
Years ago, a man used to come into my mother in laws work and would bring these meatballs. He owned a local catering company and he was known for these amazing meatballs. My mother in law told me that he would have to sneak the meatballs into her and the other people in her department because all of their other co-workers would be mad if he didn’t bring any for them.
After he passed away, my mother in law ran into his wife one day and she asked if she could have the recipe for the meatballs. Boy am I glad that she did because these meatballs are fabulous!
A few years ago, my good friend Laura made this hot fudge for a youth church activity. Before I even had a chance to taste it, I saw some of the young men drinking it straight from a cup. I knew that it had to be amazing and that I better hurry and get some before all the youth devoured it. I wasn’t disappointed. In fact, I was half tempted to pour my self a cup as well.
This hot fudge is super easy to whip up and you can make it in less than 10 minutes. I will give you a fair warning. If you ever make this for others, you need to secretly set some aside for yourself. Every time I serve this hot fudge at a party, it quickly disappears!
My favorite way to eat this hot fudge is over a bowl of cookies and cream ice cream. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what you serve it over. Anything with this hot fudge over the top will instantly be amazing!
Until next time,

Two weeks ago, I attended the Ikea catalog launch party. One of the things we were given for attending was a gift card. Narrowing down the list of what I wanted was not easy! I love Ikea and their amazing prices!
I finally set my sights on a little white table. This baby was only $19.99 and I had the perfect spot for it. I got it home and had it set up in no time.
After a few days I decided the table needed a little bit of a facelift to better fit in the space I allocated for it. So with my Frog Tape and a can of navy blue spray paint, I went to town.
I love the crisp clean lines that were made possible by the Frog Tape. I have used other brands of painters tape before and none of them compare to the Frog Tape. It is the best by far!
I also bought the little silver lanterns from Ikea. I love all of the treasures you can find at Ikea for under five dollars! I cut some wild flowers that were growing along the side of the road and arranged them in a large mason jar I had. What do you think?
I have mentioned before, that my boys love anything with chocolate and peanut butter. So when ever I make anything with this combo, I know that it is going to be a home run.
I threw this recipe together on a whim the other day and of course my boys were in heaven! I must admit that I had a hard time keeping my hands off of them as well.
The The Perfect Rice Krispie Treat recipe explains that the secret to soft and gooey rice krispie treats is to melt the marshmallows and butter in the microwave. Like most rice krispie treat recipes, these are quick and easy to make and are a guaranteed crowd pleaser!
Until next time,
