Baby Boy Joy {Recipe: Oven Baked Cinnamon Apples}

August 31, 2011

Peanut Butter Ice Cream Pie with Biscoff Cookie Crust – for Mikey

August 12, 2011

I collapsed into bed, exhausted. Dealing with my brothers illness has taken a toll on me I never expected. When a family member is dying I’m discovering there are a lot of eggshells to be walked on. Am I doing enough? Am I intruding? Am I annoying them calling and checking on things when in [...]

History Lesson {Recipe: Root Beer Float Popsicles}

July 28, 2011

My mom taught me a valuable lesson when I was younger. “Kristen… you’ll always be able to tell the best recipes in a cookbook by the wrinkles and splatters on the pages. The worse the page looks, the better the recipe. You’ll know exactly what recipes the cook turned to time and time again by [...]

Simple and Special {Recipe: Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies on a Stick}

July 26, 2011

Sometimes it is easy to get caught up in the outlandish, especially when it comes to kids. I forget that to get smiles on their faces, it doesn’t always require something big and grandiose.

Go Green With Sunkist Valencia Oranges {Recipe: Creamy Orange Milkshake}

July 15, 2011

This post brought to you by Sunkist. All opinions are 100% mine. So, oranges are supposed to be orange, right? Guess what… not always! I know…that’s news to me too. I just assumed with a name like orange you’d be that color, but with Sunkist® Valencia oranges, that’s not always the case. I recently found [...]

Homemade eCreamery 3 Cocoa Bean Chocolate Ice Cream

June 30, 2011

I made eCreamery 3 Cocoa Bean Chocolate Ice Cream yesterday and it is a very close second to the Buttered Salted Caramel I made the other day. Making ice cream is a little like magic, don’t you think? Dumping a couple of things into an ice cream maker and then peeking in just a short [...]

Convenience Store Living {Recipe: Homemade Twix Caramel Cookie Bars}

June 22, 2011

After the egg cream float, daycare days, we moved to the country. Well, it was 3 1/2 miles south of the tiny town I went to school in, but to a young girl, that was country. There was no Pizza Hut delivery. There were no friends just dropping in to see if I wanted to [...]
