Cinnamon Roll Bread Pudding with Vanilla Sauce
Let’s be honest, bread pudding is not very photogenic. Not all food can be pretty. Despite it’s looks, it tastes fantastic. First, we have to talk about bread pudding. I have to say, it is not exactly the top 10 desserts that you see on a menu, however, it is one of my favorites…
Nutella Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
Are you a Nutella fan? It is okay if you aren’t. Trust me, this recipe is for lovers and haters. I happen to be a fan, but I know there are people out there who aren’t. To be honest, if Nutella wasn’t in the name, I might not be able to tell that it was…
Cherry Cheesecake
If you have tried making cheesecake before and failed, just stop right here. You will not fail again! This cheesecake is not only fairly simple to make, but DELICIOUS. Did you hear that?

Cherry Pie
The cherries are ripe for picking here in Idaho. Just a few miles down the road is town called, Emmett. There a few different orchards there and the kids and I went cherry picking for the first time this week. The trees were drooping with the weight of so many cherries. It didn’t take us…
Pie Crust
The best pie crust I have ever tasted. I know people have strong feelings about their own pie crust. I sure do. To be honest, I am not a big fan of pie crust in general. I do love pie, just not the crust left at the end. However, if I am going to eat…
Lemon Stand
My kids were busy last week and it all started with a Boy Scout Merit Badge. Luke, 11, is currently working on the personal and family management merit badges.

Chocolate Sheet Cake
Confession – we do not call this Chocolate Sheet Cake at our house. We call it Staci’s Sheet Cake. This recipe comes from my sister-in-law, Staci. She made it once, for a family event and it was so good I asked for the recipe. She got it from one of those cook books that your…
White Chocolate Cinnamon Caramel Apples
I am not going to lie, this is my go-to for a couple occasions – end of the year teacher gift and Valentine’s Day. I’ve tried lots of fancy caramel apples and this is by far, hands down, the best! Take my word for it. You can find them at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Disney…

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…
