A blog. Where I show you the things I make!
During the summer, I love preparing picnics for my boys. I love packing their little picnic basket and watching them eat all the fun “surprises” I put in it. ( I know that one day, I will hate packing lunches. But right now, I enjoy it). I loved making this […]
Herbs from your garden aren’t just for savory recipes and drinks. Once I started baking desserts using fresh mint, I could no longer stomach the mint extract you buy from the store. These fresh mint cookies are a delicious way to bake cookies during the summer. Your kids will love […]
These mini peanut butter cookie dough bites are delightful. They’re little. They’re vegan. They’re gluten-free. AND they are naturally sweetened with maple syrup. I made these because they are going to be a component of another recipe that I will post later in the week. I would find a healthy […]
Your entire family will LOVE this Homemade Banana Ice Cream Oreo Blizzard! You will love it because it is so much healthier than store-bought Oreo blizzards and Oreo Mc Flurries. Your kids will love it because it is sweet, creamy, and chocolatey. Banana ice cream is the perfect healthy sweet […]
Happy New Year! Am I the only one Freaking out just a little that it’s 2015? Seriously, time is going by too fast, and I hate it! For New Years, my family and I went to a get-together with our college friends, and now we have been friends with most of these […]

I survived 6 days with my littles all ALONE! My husband had to go to China for his finance job, and I was holding the fort down ALL ALONE! ( well, I was the only adult here). 🙂 Greg arrived home last night, and was home most of the day […]
These Flourless Sweet Potato Brownies are the comforting cure-all to any decidedly dreary fall day. And I know what you’re probably thinking. ” Sweet potatoes and chocolate? Do these foods go together? I am here to tell you, yes they do. Ever since becoming and adult, I have been bombarded […]
Soooooooo…….Back track about 18 months ago, I was a busy new mom who was spending much time making homemade baby food for her infant. I found out right away that mixing a vegetable with a fruit usually meant that the food situation was a win- win for both of us. […]
These Olive Oil Chocolate Chip Cookes are beyond perfect and made with olive oil instead of butter! These cookies achieve a unique flavor, and I sometimes add a little sea salt to these cookies. Olive oil isn’t just for savory cooking. Olive oil also tastes delicious in baked goods! I […]
