February 22, 2010

My family absolutely loves popcorn.  I’m not talking about microwave popcorn, either.  We prefer the old fashioned, popped on the stovetop popcorn, without all the extra chemicals.  Popping popcorn on your own opens the door to so many different flavoring possibilities, too.  I love it! A friend of mine passed this recipe for Caramel Marshmallow [...]

Valentine Fail

February 11, 2010

Some may call me a Valentine’s Day Bah-Humbug.  And really, I’m okay with that.  I think the idea behind Valentine’s Day is okay, but it is so commercialized and overrated.  It makes me crazy.

Creamy Mashed Potatoes

November 12, 2009

Mashed potatoes aren’t something that I make on a regular basis, but they are requested every year for our Thanksgiving get together. Even when we travel the 8 hours to Iowa. They are that good.

Making Themed Birthday Cakes

January 29, 2009

**Edited to add link to spongebob cake** I love making cakes. It all started after my oldest’s 1st birthday. His babysitter was a cake maker, so she offered to make his cake for free. I was elated, until I seen the cake. I don’t know what she did, but it didn’t look like Blue Jean [...]

Shew! It’s over!

July 7, 2008

Kaitlyn, Noah and Nicholas sporting their $2 bargain Wal-Mart shirts. I LOVE the 4th of July! It symbolizes so much, our freedom as a nation, and our freedom of worshiping freely.
