Tiramisu Pancake Stack

It’s amazing how a simple combination of several different ingredients can make your mouth water just by thinking about them. My mother-in-law is a HUGE fan of tiramisu, and while I was making pancakes for the family one morning, her mere presence had me brainstorming about tiramisu recipes. The thoughts came swirling into my headRead More

Oreo Truffle Tarts

I don’t know about you, but I can’t get enough of Oreos.  It might actually be in my best interest to buy stock in them, because I have probably contributed to a rise in demand for these irresistible cookies.  Every time there’s a fresh package in the pantry, it’s been consumed in some type of concoction, and backRead More

Pirate Birthday Party

Click HERE to watch the slideshow! It’s hard to believe our son turned a year old, but I was prepared to throw him a pirate party.  Every time my husband would pick on me for going “overboard” (ha ha, get it?), I would scoff at him and say, “He’ll remember this party for the rest ofRead More

Frozen Birthday Cake

Frozen…the movie that literally every mom knows.  In fact, I bet every mom knows every single word to the song “Let It Go.”  Backwards.  Maybe even in Chinese.  I’ve gone as far as getting the sheet music and downloading background music to play it on my flute.  The things we do for our children. Our daughterRead More

Flipping through recipe books when you’re hungry is like begging someone to hold a chocolate bar in front of your face while dieting.  It’s cruel and unusual punishment, yet I find myself doing this on a regular basis.  Too many times I’ve slammed the book shut and fussed at myself for the self-inflicted torture.  SometimesRead More

Caramel Trail Mix Bars

When I’m on the go and hungry, trail mix is usually my favorite snack.  It’s the perfect combination of protein, fat and carbs, yet it also contains that wonderful sweet and salty taste that curbs cravings, and it holds me over for a couple hours.  We have a big jar of it sitting on theRead More
