Scotcheroos
Okay, this is not a new recipe. You can find it floating around on just about everyone’s blog. But it is new here, so humor me. . . This recipe actually has special meaning to me because of the person I got it from. Kristen, my older sister, and I were in college at BYU.…
Lemon Cremes
You can bribe me with pretty much lemon flavored anything. When my sister and I were young, we would play monopoly with our friend with a bag of lemon drops at the table. It was our go to candy for monopoly – not sure why but even now, I have a hard time playing it…
Banana Cream Pie
Confession: I am not much of a banana fan. Let me clarify. I like bananas in things, I just have a hard time eating them by themselves. You won’t ever see me peal a banana and bite into it. However, I will slice a banana and put them in my cereal or roll them in…
Rice Krispies Treats
I am not sure how many batches of rice krispies treats I made in middle school but it was a lot. It was the standard treat to bring to a sleep over back in the day. Seriously, I don’t think my friend and I showed up at the other’s house without a pan of rice…
Strawberry Tart
This is strawberry season. For the next month I am almost positive you will be able to find strawberries for $1/lb at a grocery store near you. This last week, WinCo had them on sale. In June, you’ll be able to go to a U-pick farm and get them fresh. This recipe brings three dessert…
Strawberry and Blueberry Crisp
It’s strawberry season! Whether you are picking them soon at a U-pick farm or grabbing some at your local grocery store for $1/lb, there are so many things to do with berries. Aside from just eating them – jams, tarts, pies, cakes, toppings, the list goes on and on. We are currently making some freezer…
Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies
Someone once asked me what my favorite cookie was. It made me realize that there are so many good cookies in the world, how can I possibly choose one? This cookie has been a classic in our house for years. It is just our basic chocolate chip cookie recipe but instead of two cups of…
Vanilla Buddies
We make all kinds of “buddies” for the holidays at our house, and sometimes we even make them when it isn’t a holiday! Of course, an all time favorite are the muddy buddies with peanut butter and chocolate, but I have to say, these vanilla buddies are equally as good. They are made with only…
Honey Buns
I am sure you have had a version of these cinnamon rolls before – maybe called sticky buns. No matter what you call them, they are delicious. They differ from traditional cinnamon rolls in that they are covered in honey and pecans instead of frosting. I think this makes them easier to make and just…
Brownie Bars with Mint Nutella Topping
Don’t get me wrong, I like a good brownie, but what I like even better is a brownie topped with something light and fluffy and preferably MINT flavored. We’ve talked about my obsession with chocolate and mint before so we won’t get into that. We’ve also talked about how boxed brownie mixes are amazing and…
Breakfast Burritos
Breakfast. Some people say it is the most important meal of the day. I am not a nutritionist or anything close so I can’t claim that breakfast is important for scientific reasons. I am human, though, and know that I need fuel for the day. So breakfast, it’s an important meal. It is also important…
Pumpkin Spice Cinnamon Rolls
Fall is officially here and I am fully embracing all things pumpkin spice. I love that when the seasons change our food changes too! Isn’t that what we love about the holidays? Food?!? As we transition from flip flops to boots, shorts to jeans, and tank tops to sweaters, our food transitions from burgers to…
Crumb Coffee Cake
It is not too often that I eat cake for breakfast but when I do – I want a crumb coffee cake. My blueberry coffee cake is amazing as well as my cinnamon sour cream coffee cake. However, nostalgia always takes over and this one brings back all the memories. My sister and I were…
