Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, and I’ve been trying to figure out what I should make for dinner & dessert – now that we’ve got two kids and less money, we’ll probably be staying at home for dinner. I admit – this is one of those Pinterest projects that I saw when I first got onto Pinterest and thought, “Wow! That ... Read More »
My kids love hot chocolate. Like, a LOT. It probably has something to do with the fact that we have 2 things in the house that they get in their cups: 1) Water 2) Milk. Juice is for Grandma’s house or picnics. Pop (soda) is…pretty much only present once a year at the extended family Christmas celebration. So when I tell ... Read More »
Last year, I dipped ripple chips in chocolate and sprinkled delicious things on them. That was tasty, but kinda time consuming, dipping each chip individually – with two littles running around, who has time for that kind of nonsense? I wanted to try something a little easier this year – but still combining the chocolate & the chips, because chocolate ... Read More »
First: Yes, I know. This idea is absolutely AMAZING. And I can’t take credit for it in the least. I saw the post while I was stumbling one day and landed on The Bigler’s Best Belly Pleasers post for Campfire Eclairs.

I came across this idea early on in my Pinterest days but forgot about it until this week. And, like way too many good pins that I see, I thought, “Hey, that’s a great idea!” and promptly failed to actually pin it. This past week, my family all came to town and we celebrated Christmas together, as well as a ... Read More »
You know, when I was growing up, it was cold enough outside to skate on the bay before Christmas, and there was always enough snow on the ground to go tobogganing during the Christmas holidays. Sadly, that’s almost never the case anymore. But. We’d all get all bundled up in our gear and wrap our knit scarves around our necks ... Read More »
When I was growing up, dessert was not an altogether common affair at our dinner table. When we did have dessert, chances were that it was cantaloupe, yogurt with fruit sauce, or fruit salad. However. However. Now and again, my mom would make an amazing and decadent hot dessert – a pudding cake. If you’ve never had a pudding cake before, let ... Read More »
In the past 18 months, I’ve done a fair amount of gluten and wheat free baking, and while there are some excellent and tasty recipes out there, it’s so very rare to find easy gluten free recipes that turn out so similar to those tasty white flour alternatives. {By ‘easy’, I mean recipes that don’t involve all of the extras ...
