simple recipes, easy clean-up
Can I tell you a secret? Come close. closer… I had never eaten a scone before I made these Whole Grain Cherry Almond Scones. I feel as though a whole world has been opened up to me. A world of pretty napkins and sipping drinks while holding my pinkie finger way up high. Since I am absolutely in love with cherries right now I thought I would stuff some plump juicy cherries into these wonderfully light and fluffy scones, along {Read More}
You know those people that start random conversations with you when you’re just trying to decide on what type of toothpaste to buy? That’s me. Not the one buying the toothpaste. The one talking to you about the cilantro in your cart. Hi. At least that used to be me when I only had 3 kids. I know I’ve mentioned this before… but for some reason adding just one more kid throws your whole life into a fire-blazing tail-spin of death and {Read More}

It was full of homemade caramels (best I’ve ever had!), and a few pieces of this beauty… Almond Roca!! It’s full of sweet crunch, filled with tasty almonds, and covered in a smooth chocolate topping. It has basically put me back on the track for Christmas baking! I had to get the recipe and share {Read More}
I haven’t always liked coconut. It’s one of those things that grew on me as I got older. I guess what really grew on me were those delicious little Almond Joy candy bars. I don’t know if it’s the almond, the coconut, or chocolate…but they are one devine treat. Speaking of devine – I just adore brownies. I mean- the corner brownie. {am I alone here?} Some may like the ooey-gooey center pieces, but I prefer the crustier corner piece. {Read More}
