Last weekend I made a batch of THE BEST rice krispie treats I've ever made.Seriously they were so good! Obviously adding Oreo cookies to anythingis going to make it better, but I think the addition of more marshmallowsand white chocolate chips is the secret weapon! I've always wanted to make extra large rice krispie treats - like the ones you see in bakeries or specialty stores, so I

Hey friends! How is it mid August already? In some ways it seems like this summer is lasting forever, but other days it seems like it's flying by. We cancelled our family vacation this year, but we've actually been spending more time together than ever this summer. We've enjoyed pool time, playing cards, craft time, walking in our neighborhood, home projects, trying new recipes and plenty of

I am rolling in the zucchini this year! Madison and my neighbor have given me several and my own plants are finally beginning to produce. I've been making zucchini muffins, zucchini fritters, grilled zucchini and using it in veggie quesadillas. I've also been freezing zucchini to use in soup and veggie quesadillas this fall and winter. I've had this

Like many of you my daughter and I started flowers and vegetables from seed this spring while we were staying home all of the time due to the pandemic. Watching our little seeds turn into sprouts was fun and rewarding! I planted herbs, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, nasturtiums, chamomile and zucchini in pots. Next year I would love a raised bed or two!

I've been trying to make the most of our shelter in place time by trying new recipes, crafts and projects that have been on my someday list. I have a pretty long list and it's always fun to try something new, especially when the project or recipe turns out just as you hoped it would! Today we're making homemade bath bombs. I've been using Young Living

Hey friends! How are you all holding up? I've settled in to working from home and have come up with a schedule that works for me. I miss my co-workers and visiting our residents, but I do enjoy being home with our sweet dog Scout, going for walks in the middle of the day if I choose and not having to worry about what I'm going to wear to work every

Over the weekend I posted this photo on my Instagram stories with the caption that I make these bars every weekend and it's true! When I started WW (formerly know as Weight Watchers) last April I found that most of the granola or protein bars that I had been eating had more smart points than I wanted to use for a morning or afternoon snack so I began

I've been feeling extra crafty lately - making essential oil diffuser bracelets and diffusers for your car. Sitting in my office/craft room and creating is so relaxing and satisfying. I don't take the time to do it often enough! During the holidays I purchased a birdseed bundt wreath from one of our local Farmer's Markets and even though the squirrels devoured it in one afternoon we loved

Hey friends! I'm coming at you today with a cute and easy dessert to make for Valentine's Day. Semi-homemade heart shaped strawberry pop-tarts! This recipe is super easy when you use prepared sheets of refrigerated pie crust. Feel free to make your own pie dough if desired. I have yet to master pie crust, so I went the easy route.

Today I am sharing a recipe that I have been trying to perfect for years. Thumbprint cookies are my husband's absolute favorite cookie and not just any thumbprint cookie -

Yay! It's holiday baking time! I took a little break from baking cookies since I baked over 800 cookies for the cookie table at our daughter's wedding this summer, but I'm ready to get back at it again with The Sweetest Season Cookie Exchange. I've partnered together with a few of my favorite food bloggers and we're sharing a virtual cookie exchange to inspire you to share the cookie

Let's get crafty! There's just something about the holidays that gets me into a crafty mood. I don't know why - it's not like I don't have a million other things to do, but cleaning, baking and shopping can wait. Let's make some cute new ornaments for the tree! Here's what you'll need: clear glass ornaments (you can find them at Michael's or Hobby
