Living in the southwest there is no shortage of salsas, pico de gallos, and hot sauces. Some are good, some are bad, and some are horrible. There are a probably a handful of places that I love! But sometimes, all I crave is a good fresh pico de gallo. If you aren’t from this part […]
Pineapple Cherry Fluff
My mom makes a side dish (which should really be a dessert) that she calls Pink Stuff. It is delicious! I get cravings for it around the holidays, but I haven’t made it recently due to my daughter’s allergy to food dyes. So, I began a quest to come up with a version that used […]

Lemon Berry Trifle
I think I’ve mentioned before that Angel Food Cake is my all time favorite cake. It’s a little sweet, a little tangy, and light and fluffy! I ask for it every year for my birthday and my husband always makes it for me. Not from scratch, but that’s okay…it’s wonderful to know he made me […]
Cadbury Egg Cupcakes
Besides Peeps, Cadbury Eggs are one of my guilty pleasures this time of year. Thank goodness, the season is fairly short because I could go into a sugar coma with these little babies! Aren’t the mini Cadbury Eggs just adorable! They are much more manageable in terms of sugar intake. LOL! Of course making Cadbury Egg […]
Sweet and Salty Spring Mix
I just love the colors of Spring and Easter. The pastels this time of year are so pretty. I don’t normally have a reason to buy the colorful candies, but I needed a snack for a bunch of kids for a road trip…so I thought it would be fun. My kids were in a separate car, so […]
Hunger Games Cupcakes
One of my best friends is planning for a huge group of us to see the afternoon showing of the Hunger Games on Sunday. We decided to make shirts for ourselves and after we started the project word got out that we were doing shirts and our little half day project turned into 8 shirts, 4 trips […]
Italian Hoagie Sandwiches
I am wordless! There is noting I can say except you HAVE to try these sandwiches! The only words that come to mind are perfection, juicy, filling, and gone! There was nothing leftover…nothing at all! I was hoping for one to have the next day, but no luck. I have some exciting news to share. […]
Green Fruit Salad
As if we needed one more green dish for St. Patrick’s Day, right? Well, at least this one is super duper healthy and fits in with the “green” theme for Saturday. My kids love a big fruit salad. If you have little kids, have you seen that short sketch on Nick Jr (I think) […]
St Patrick’s Day Rewind
We love St. Patrick’s Day at our house. It’s a fun little holiday for us. Leprechans visit us and cause havoc while they are here, but they always leave a little surprise too. Do you celebrate St. Patrick’s Day? You don’t have to be Irish to have fun. And I bet your kids would love […]
Amazing Key Lime Pie
Key Lime Pie is probably my all time favorite pie. I have very distinct memories growing up thinking I hated Key Lime Pie. I remember a quote from a tv show or movie where the actor says it’s an acquired taste. So, I just figured I would never like it. Fast forward several years…we love […]
Samoa Cupcakes
If you have been alive the last month and a half then you know it’s Girl Scout cookie time! My daughter is a Brownie this year and her first cookie booth was last week. She was so excited! I usually buy way to many cookies but they freeze well, right. At least, I tell myself […]
