I started this little project with an idea that I had seen on pinterest. (I have recently joined and become totally obsessed with it!) They were rice krispie treats cut out in the shape of hearts and then they were dipped in chocolate.

Like a lot of what I cook, this recipe came into being one evening at about 5 pm when I was wondering what in the world I was going to cook for dinner. I needed something fast and healthy; something that we had all the ingredients for. Our usual fall back meal is spaghetti, but [...]
I started cooking for my family at the relatively early age of 15. I learned quickly how to cook for a lot of people (10 kids and 2 adults) with few ingredients. My family had a some financial troubles during certain periods of my youth and there wasn’t always a lot in the cupboards or [...]

The first year I spent with my husband and his family we had only been dating for 6 months and I wasn’t exactly sure what to get his parents for Christmas. We weren’t married or even engaged yet so I felt kind of weird going out and buying them some big present but I did want [...]

Everyday, with out fail, around 2:00 p.m. my daughter comes walking into the room and says “I’m huuuuungry!” Never-mind that we just finished our lunch. She is always needing multiple snack in the afternoon. Whether it’s an after school snack or just an afternoon snack I get tired of feeding her the same ol’, same ol’ of fruit [...]

I never bake, and it has been a while since I considered myself “crafty”. Nevertheless, Big Brother is getting to be the age where he really enjoys and appreciates activities such as this so I’ve been trying out some new things! These cake pops are really quite simple, and are so fun when they are [...]
Granny Smith, and Gold Delicious, and Gala apples, oh my! I love fall time and there are always so many apples in season and so many ways to eat them. Personally, around our house, we love the granny smith and the gala apples, but there are so many different kinds out there I can’t even [...]
