French Toast
My love for breakfast food is right up there with Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope. If you don’t know who those people are, you need to watch Parks and Recreation. French Toast is on the top of the list with waffles. I think I consume more bread at breakfast than any other meal besides Pizza…
Amazon Prime Day
Today is the day! Emma’s birthday is in a couple weeks and she has requested a few things that I am snagging today. Also, now would be a good time to look ahead to Christmas (yes, I just went there) and start your shopping early;) Good luck and may all the things on your list…
Pizza Dough
We have pizza about once a week at our house. Yes, we do. I am not afraid to admit it. Pizza Friday, Baby! Having lived in PA where there is a pizza joint on every block, we have kind of become pizza snobs. (PSA – if you are in Lansdale, PA – please go eat…
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? I put it in all caps so I screamed it, DELICIOUS!!!! There are lots of cheesecake recipes out there and they are…
Cherry Orange Julius
Nothing screams summer more that cold drinks. One of our favorites is an orange julius. This week we changed it up a bit and added some cherry puree. It was delicious. If you don’t have cherries and just want an orange julius, the recipe will be sightly different. Since you are taking out the cherry…
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. If you know scouting at all, you know that these two badges are time consuming. Part of the requirements are to decide on something to save…
Alfredo Sauce
Easily one of my favorite recipes! In high school a friend and I who worked and carpooled to the same job after school would leave early and drive to the Olive Garden and both order Fettuccine Alfredo before going to work. She gave me this recipe. I have tweaked it a little over the years…
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…
