Let's face it. My kids have more access to treats and sweet delights than most little munchkins do. I'm always baking something and although my daughter (in general) has her father's sweet tooth - or lack thereof - my son LOVES everything I make. He would eat baked goods all day every day if I… Continue reading Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart

Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
I think of butter mints alongside turkey and stuffing, not hearts and flowers. Thanksgiving always meant butter mints when I was a kid. My Nanny (English grandmother, not baby-sitter) would have a bowl of them sitting on top of her giant TV, temptingly out of reach. It was the best turkey day ever when I… Continue reading Valentine’s Day Butter Mints
Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Is there someone in your life who seems perpetually stuck at a certain age? Until recently, I've always thought of my baby sister as the age she was when I left home. In my mind she just kind of stopped growing up. Probably because I didn't see her every day, I got involved in my… Continue reading Lizzy’s Cowboy Salsa
Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Gorgeous food makes a bad day better. It makes a good day amazing. Beautiful breakfast treats can change your whole outlook by setting your mood from the first tweet of the morning songbirds. These pinwheels look really impressive but are totally quick and easy to create. They would make an excellent addition to your next… Continue reading Puff Pastry Pinwheels
Pretzel Bites
It's that time of year again. No more family Christmas parties with your crazy Uncle Lou who makes inappropriate remarks after a few glasses of Granny's homemade nog. The presents are opened & carols all sung. You've convinced yourself that the tree and lights can stay up while you do absolutely nothing for a few… Continue reading Pretzel Bites
Crunchy Granola Bars
Granola bars are practically required for camping. Usually I just purchase the standard crunchy kind in the green box. But, as I was making my grocery list and going thru cookbooks, I saw this recipe and realized I had everything to make these already in my cupboard. Homemade, I'd have control of the ingredients and… Continue reading Crunchy Granola Bars
White Chocolate Razz-Ma-Tazz Bars
I was given a cookbook yesterday by a dear friend (thanks Bri!) and couldn't wait to try it out. It's Nestle Classic Recipes, and these bars just had to be made immediately. I love white chocolate. There aren't nearly enough recipes out there that include it. This one paired it with two other amazing flavors.… Continue reading White Chocolate Razz-Ma-Tazz Bars
S’mores Bars
Baseball equals s'mores. Bear with me. I swear my thoughts make logical sense in my head. I'll try to help you keep up. Today, I went outside because I saw a bright yellow orb in the sky. I had to find out what it was. The sun! Fantastic! My husband used the opportunity to teach… Continue reading S’mores Bars
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies
For over a week I've been craving chocolate and zucchini. Yes together. No kidding. It's good. Really! I mentioned my mom's chocolate chip zucchini cake in a post just before Easter and I've had a hankerin' for it ever since. Today I realized that I had a lone leftover zucchini hanging in my crisper drawer… Continue reading Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cookies
MOPS Round-up
I had a wonderful group of ladies over tonight. We enjoyed sharing our ideas, passions and experiences and talked about next year's MOPS group. We also had food. Lots of it. For those who were there, thank you for your servant's hearts, enthusiasm, questions and support. I am so excited to take this journey with… Continue reading MOPS Round-up
