Snacks & Sweets

This recipe is definitely my most requested one.  I think the cute “bon bon” with coconut sprinkles draws people in, the deliciousness keeps the love going,  and the bonus health points keep people hooked. As a parent, we are always trying to find healthy snack for our kids.  I posted on Instagram the other day (here) ...

We love Nutella. We love hearts. We love pop-tarts. Now, they have been brought together as one.  It’s a good day. I’ve made Nutella pop-tarts before here, but the heart really gives it that sweet touch (sweet tasting and also sweet looking…har har).

I hope your summer has been full of rest and peace, friends! Fresh summer produce is such an amazing part of summer, don’t you think?  I love going to our local markets and soaking in the glorious smells that the season has to offer.  Although I live in a very farm friendly area, summer brings fresh ...

I’m super excited about this post.  Did you ever make something and it turned out ridiculously better than you expected.  Yup, that’s this one.  These were so good I actually ate some pieces of my little guys, which he for some reason didn’t eat.  I don’t do that normally.   I think the other reason ...

So, I’ve been having migraines a lot lately and have been so thankful that I had a few things hanging around in my freezer to make things a little easier.  This week I made soup twice and cookies twice from that freezer. These scrumptious gingersnaps for some friends. Rustic peanut butter cookies for houseguests.  They are rustic ...

Monkey bread is a funny sort of food. When I am thinking about making it, I have an internal battle. I know if I make it, I will eat it all. Yeah, yeah. That’s been said before, but seriously… it’s true. This stuff is crazy good and is better than a cinnamon roll any day ...

  Craziness!  It’s already been a year!  The official time I started my blog was actually back in August of 2010, but I wanted to get things just right on the design end before posting.  It’s kind-of a joke when I think of it now because it was FAR from nice and my posts were pretty sad-looking.  ...
