Cooking Bucket List
I’ve been inspired lately by a few different bloggers that have made “cooking/recipe bucket lists”. Namely, this one, this one and this one. So I wanted to follow suite and write down a list of foods that I have been wanting to make. Some of these things may take me a long time to accomplish, […]
B.A.D.D – Stand Up for Sobering Up
Instead of a normal recipe posting day, I want to join the BADD (Bloggers against Drunk Driving) group and stand up for sobering up. When Kari mentioned her new campaign against drunk driving I knew that I wanted to be a part of it as much as I could, but I couldn’t think of any […]
Blogging Goals
I have decided to make a couple blogging goals for myself. I usually think briefly about this every year, how many new recipes should I cook a week, how many old recipes should I redo, how many times should I post every week? And I’m still going to work on those things. At least 2. One […]
MIA
I’m sorry that I’ve been missing lately. If you like our facebook page you know that I have been preparing this week for a boutique that I’m selling some “pops” at. I decided to sell: cookie dough dipped in milk chocolate brownie truffles dipped in milk and dark chocolate oreos dipped in white, milk and […]

Happy 4th of July. Quick Recap.
Happy Fourth of July everyone! I feel so blessed to call this country home. I hope you all have a wonderful day celebrating, with lots of good food, friends, fireworks and fun. (I’m a little scared for the fireworks here in Utah since we have so many fires – I hope everyone is extra careful!)
Grilled Chicken Citrus Salad with Citrus Vinaigrette
I saw this recipe on Our Best Bites and thought; hmmm…. that looks pretty good and then Friday afternoon, Craig and I went to Panera Bread. I had the Strawberry Poppy-seed Salad and thought I could eat this everyday and not be bored, it was so good. These two events hatched an idea and ta […]
From the Garden
I know this is a cooking blog, but this dandy little treat has its own ingredients straight from the garden and you can whip one up too. It is to encourage a little creativity with what you have on hand and put them together in your own style. Use your imagination and make your own […]
Pinterest Party
I am hosting pinterest party with a few other wonderful women. Thanks to Aimee from byaimee.com. Here she is: i have found so many lovely things on pinterest that truly inspire me. like this to make for my sweet 2.5 year old Abby:
Something Good
I’m participating in a fun package swap called “Send Something Good”. The idea is that we are all assigned different bloggers, and we need to look into their interests and likes and send them a package according to those things, but making it personal, so that we can get to know each other. Its a […]
Guest Post on Heavenly Blossoms
Hey friends! Have you noticed that on the right side I have a little spot for sponsors? Well, today I am guest posting on the lovely Jennifer’s blog Heavenly Blossoms. I am over there sharing one of my favorite recipes, the Baked Southwestern Rolls. These “rolls” are so delicious, this is definitely one you need to […]
Swirled Strawberry & Chocolate Cheesecake
This was a first for me. Can you imagine a 50 year old woman having never baked a cheese cake before? Well, I haven’t. I have made cheesecake before but they involved jello or cool whip, never baked. I used to make a delicious lemon cheesecake with lemon jello and it was so moist – […]
March Goal – Week 1
I’m not going to lie to you about how we’ve done this week on our goal. We have been eating so many carbohydrates this week. Because we’ve been lacking in the vegetable department, this week to fill our tummies we had pasta or bread (or both) with every dinner meal. Although I’m ashamed to admit […]
March Goal
So, I know that today is March 3rd, but Nate and I have made a goal for the rest of the month. Let me preface this by saying this: for a young couple we have a lot of food storage. In our garage we have an extra freezer with fish, chicken, frozen pizzas and more, […]
Pretzel Kisses
The fun thing about this treat is that you can make any combination, with the vast number of flavors of both kisses and m&ms to your liking or based on the occasion. For my variety I made it pretty simple. Hugs with basic chocolate m&ms. But my mom made these a while back with dark chocolate […]
Calling all Gardeners!
I have fond memories of wandering the rows of my grandmother’s raspberry bushes and eating about as many berries as I put into the basket. Mmm. I especially love raspberries (or peaches) with a little bit of sugar and cream. Anyway, my parents had a small garden growing up as well, but we mostly had […]
