Over the weekend, we threw a birthday party for our daughter. It’s still hard to believe she’s already four years old. Anyway, several months ago I had asked her what kind of cake and party she wanted, and since she’s really into princesses, this was naturally the theme she picked. So, I started thinking, andRead More
When I was working on the idea for the s’mores cookies I made a while back, the thought of making a graham cracker cookie sounded delicious. And, since the regular graham cracker cookie recipe turned out to be so yummy, the thought of taking a cinnamon route with these cookies sounded even better…so off IRead More
There’s a local bakery and sandwich shop here in my town that is absolutely amazing. I took my daughter there one afternoon for lunch, and we got some sandwiches and cookies for dessert. It was a cute little shop, and the owner seemed to know almost everyone that came in to get something to eat. Read More
I haven’t met a single person in my life that doesn’t like doughnuts. I’m not saying there aren’t people out there who don’t, I just haven’t met any of them. After a visit with my in-laws and looking through my mother-in-law’s buffet of magazines that she gets (I always browse through People and Southern Living),Read More
It’s that time of year…Graduation! Whether it’s kindergarten, high school, or college, this is definitely a big part of the year. Everyone’s babies are growing up.

When it comes to birthdays, it seems like different people see them in a very different light. You have those people who really don’t care all that much, it’s just another day. Then, there are the people who embrace the fact that they’re still on this beautiful planet for another year, and happily celebrate. AndRead More
In my honest opinion, there’s no such thing as too many recipe books. Well, at least that’s what I tell myself when trying to de-clutter and come up with one reason or another not to throw away one of my recipe books. That being said, I couldn’t resist picking up another recipe book that had “cookingRead More
Well, it’s been a while since my last post… I recently took a part time job working as a cook in a restaurant, so now I’m working two jobs, going to culinary school, and making sure there’s quality time with the family in there with all of that going on. Can we say busy? Whew! But,Read More
When it comes to cookies, I’m always looking for something new and delicious. The last cookie recipe that I threw together was the Oreo Chunk Cookies, soft sugar cookies packed with Oreo chunks and topped with Oreo crumbs. Those were a big hit. Soon after the last cookies, I came across a recipe for red velvet cookies, andRead More
