Feed Your People
My children made my day unexpectedly happy. I feel that all my parenting failures are absolved. 😄 Gathered around the kitchen island, my daughter sitting on it, swinging her legs and my son perusing the kitchen drawer for a snack, we chatted about a few of their childhood memories. Two of their favorites?! Snack time. […]
Braided Yeast Roll Wreaths
We had snow over the weekend and it made everything so pretty and made an instant Christmas-ey feel!

It started warming up and they began to […]
Flowered Handpies
Handpies. Isn’t the name itself enchanting? Because who doesn’t want pie you can hold in your hand?!

I used green grapes, red grapes, cojack cheese, colby cheese, pepperjack cheese, monterey jack and tucked in some dill for garnish. I used cinnamon sticks at the bottom to create […]

Leaf Design Apple Pie
This pie has been one of my very favorites! I really liked making the leaves and I really liked how they turned out. Scattering the roses with them made and extra-fun design. I have a leaf shape cutter I cut the leaves with and then I added the embossing with the edges of some […]

It’s Gluten Free From the Bakery on Main
Right before we were packing up our bags to head to Ohio in March, this box made its arrival onto my doorstep. Now, I love packages and parcels arriving in the mail or left on my porch by the UPS or Fed Ex delivery people. I’d been expecting this shipment and I was happy when […]
