Make the Best Fourth of July Cake! Since moving, I don’t have a lot of kitchen supplies unpacked to get fancy. I couldn’t even find my good spatula today. So, this is a last-minute, fun one I came up with when I saw the Pepperidge Farm Coconut Cake on the BOGO from Publix. Do you […]
We’ve finally made a great overnight breakfast casserole. I’m going to show you how to make amazing overnight french toast casserole that has a great combination of ingredients, and the secret to amazing is baguette bread. I’m not a fan of wet bread breakfast and the baguette bread is perfect to avoid that disaster. Make
The weather is warming, school is ending and it might be that perfect time to make a change. Spring and early summer is a popular time to sell homes. While so much goes into planning your next location, selling your current home usually comes first. We’ve sold a few homes with our large family and
I got pretty busy recently and decided to keep on hand a few recipes that still have a made-from-scratch feel, but are faster to prepare. This layered enchilada casserole recipe uses something we normally make ourselves – the cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup. In this case, using the canned soup made the
I love a good, creamy hot soup on chillier days. I didn’t say winter days because an August day in Colorado can be chilly, like 50 degrees chilly. One of my favorite soups is our creamy Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup. Creamy Broccoli Potato Cheddar Soup This is easy to make and I have a crowd to feed,

Soft frosted sugar cookies. Storytime and baby kisses. Coloring and playing outside. Lots of laundry and cooking comfort foods on cold days. Sneaking in sewing during the quiet times (which aren’t many!) Enjoying shopping days with grandma and aunts. Those are words that describe my days lately. So busy, but so sweet. It’s hard to
Mason Jar Lid Ornaments are another fun ornament we added this year to the tree. Each year we make at least one new ornament. My tree is filled with lovely memories and continues to fill. So fun to look at each special decoration my children made through the years. Mason Jar Lid Ornaments can be
If you need a tasty mini appetizer for a party, these Spicy Cheese Bacon Tarts are great. Because of the size, they can be time-consuming, so you can make up the batter and put the pie crust in the tart pans the day before your party. For this recipe I used 3 different types of
Welcome beginning knitters! Today, I’m sharing my video on how to make this Easy Pattern Knit Dishcloth. There are no step-by-step pictures outside of the video. I did include the key and pattern instructions below the video. For a beginning knitter, I actually started with a doll pattern because it’s what I needed to do
Hot spinach dip is a new family party favorite! Spinach dip is one of those childhood memories to me. It was one of those favorite appetizers that were always at big family gatherings, birthdays and Christmas parties. I upgraded it this year – tons of flavor (without using a soup/dip mix), and it’s baked to
I absolutely love soft ginger molasses cookies. Last year I made these soft cut-out gingerbread cookies, loved those! The combination of ginger and molasses says Christmas baking to me even more than a good sugar cookie! The recipe I had used for soft molasses cookies wasn’t quite what I wanted anymore. The cookies were far
