Can you believe Christmas will be here in just 6 short weeks! I don't know about you but I'm not prepared. Typically I shop all year long and am done by September, but not this year. I have an incessive need to have all my Christmas presents wrapped under the tree by the beginning of December. For this reason, it looks like I'll be joining the droves of people waiting to get the best Black ... continue reading...

Strawberry Angel Food cupcakes
I don't know about you but one of my favorite desserts during summer is angel food cake and strawberries. I seriously could eat it every day. The only issue I have with it is serving it to a large party. You can't cut up the angel food cake and top it with the strawberry sauce before hand otherwise the cake will be soggy. I was determined to find a way around having to cut up and assemble the ... continue reading...
Garlic Pesto Pizza
I'm always trying to find quick meals that don't lack in taste. One of our favorites are homemade pizzas. Growing up, we hand rolled the pizza dough, made the sauce, and went all out. As much as I love it I don't have the time usually to make that. After trial and error I came up with this easy to make pizza you can use either pita bread, flat bread, or tortillas for. If you're a ... continue reading...
Spring Rice Krispies
Rice Krispies are a favorite in our house. They're easy, cheap, and oh so delicious. I typically make Rice Krispies with sprinkles according to the upcoming holiday but this time I wanted to be a little more festive. I planned on piping icing on each one to detail the cut outs but who's got time for that. I'll be completely honest, it took me 3 days total to make this batch. ... continue reading...

Easter is almost here which means kids will be having spring parties, Easter egg hunts, outdoor play dates, and lots of candy.

I didn't want to make cupcakes because we can only ever eat a couple ... continue reading...
Meal planning made simple
From as little as I can remember my mom would make a home cooked meal everyday. I loved it and my passion for cooking makes it so much easier. I've gotten good at meal planning over the years by minimizing my trips to the grocery store, sticking to budgets, and creating meals everyone loves without food waste. I honestly had no clue I wasn't in the norm; that people frequent the store ... continue reading...
Best Winter Soups
When the weather finally breaks 70 I start whipping up all soups and stews multiple times a week. I don't know where we got the perception that you can only have soups and stews when it's cold outside, but for some reason we feel like its the most appropriate time for these comfort wonders. I've put together a list of my favorite soups and stews you and your family will enjoy this winter ... continue reading...
Cheese Tortellini Soup
I love winter time because it's expected we'll be having soup at least once a week. My kids are my toughest critics so when a friend brought me this soup after the birth of third kid and the kids loved it, I knew it was something we needed to put on the monthly meal rotation. Of course I had to tweak the recipe a bit but once I got it where I wanted it, it became and instant favorite in ... continue reading...
Christmas in Arizona
I get asked all the time what people should do for Christmas in the AZ valley. The best part about Christmas in Arizona is the weather. Due to the fact that it's so nice out there's so much to do outside. We always start out our season with some Christmas lights. Whether you're looking for Christmas lights that dance to music or amazing home light displays, there's something for everyone. ... continue reading...
