Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!! I love this holiday. It's the day I'm proud to have pale skin, freckles and green eyes. Features of my Irish heritage. Go out there and chase a rainbow, trap a leprechaun, don't forget to wear your green and have a beer for me! If you're not Irish, pretend you… Continue reading Irish Soda Bread Cookies
Molasses Cookie Cake Balls
Sometimes I set out to bake something and it just doesn't turn out like I'm expecting. Today I made what were supposed to be frosted molasses cookie bars, but I didn't check the size pan properly and baked them in something too small. So instead of being bars, nice and thin(ish) - it baked up… Continue reading Molasses Cookie Cake Balls
Banana Bites
Banana bread is delicious. Most of the time I can polish off half a loaf by myself easily. However, on rare occasions, I just want a little nibble of it. These mini banana bites are perfect for satisfying my hankerin' for just a smackerel of something. They are packed with big banana flavor in a… Continue reading Banana Bites
Crispy Cheese Pulled Pork Tacos with Sesame Slaw
It's Taco Tuesday! I have died and gone to over-eating heaven. Seriously. Dinner tonight was quite possibly the most delicious food I've had all year. Possibly in the past 5 years. I cannot remember the last meal I enjoyed more than what I shared with my family tonight. My daughter declared "Mommy, this is so… Continue reading Crispy Cheese Pulled Pork Tacos with Sesame Slaw
Rainy Day Pumpkin Bread
Man is it a dreary day outside in my neck-of-the-woods. Bleah. Rainy and cold and just downright ugly. I decided to hole up inside and bake something that would make my house smell amazing. Pumpkin bread seemed just the ticket. This is a slightly changed recipe from the other pumpkin bread I've posted - and… Continue reading Rainy Day Pumpkin Bread
Coupon Haul
It's been a while since I've posted anything about couponing. Tonight I feel even more accomplished than normal, because my husband and I have started Dave Ramsey's program for budgeting/dealing with finances. So, suddenly I find myself being very very aware of what I spend. But, I love food. I don't want to eat garbage… Continue reading Coupon Haul
Three Cups of Tea
I just have to give a little plug for a gift I was recently given. My grandma got me some cupcake liners and toppers from a local shop called "Three Cups of Tea" and I cannot get over how adorable they are! They are made by Meri Meri and are just about the cutest thing… Continue reading Three Cups of Tea
Bismark Doughnut Muffins
To me, you can't get better than a warm, jelly filled Bismark doughnut. I love them. It's a really good thing there is not a doughnut shop on my normal driving route because raspberry Bismarks are one of the foods I cannot resist. Really. Anybody wants to capture me and torture me for information -… Continue reading Bismark Doughnut Muffins
Game Night Treats
I'm so excited for the return of game night with my church small group. We have a great time together with food, laughter, games and just enjoying each others company. I went to some easy comfort food treats tonight. Nothing fancy or new, just good hang out snacks. Since I've posted them both before, I'm… Continue reading Game Night Treats
The Fairness of Life
I originally posted this last year on today's sad anniversary. I still struggle with these same things another year later as I remember my friends. I'm comforted by these verses from 1 Corinthians. 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a… Continue reading The Fairness of Life
