So we are re-featuring our pumpkin 🙂 Pumpkin Crisp Pumpkin Cake w/ Cream Cheese Frosting Jack-O-Lantern Cake…

Puppy Party- Puppy Cupcakes

These puppy cupcakes were so easy.  We had planned to do something else but once I saw how adorable the Scooby-Doo Graham Cracker Sticks were for the bones. We kept it simple. Chad baked from Food Network – Chocolate Chip & Mascarpone Cupcakes & frosted/piped on a simple vanilla buttercream frosting they were soooo good….

Ginger Pecan Apple Wraps

  We have a really YUMMY dish to share with you. Chad LOVES to bake and cook. He was inspired seeing recipes with soda in them. We have since tried biscuits with 7-up,  mountain dew in cupcakes , and now we have tried ginger ale in this fun dish. It is best served warm and…

Cupcake Ice Cream Cup + Printable

I first saw this idea on Living Locurto website. Fell in love with them. Loved the tags they made so whipped up some tags (at the end of this post) With cherries to match the cups I used. I was browsing my favorite Jo-Ann store and they had ice cream cups on sale. I had…

Shrimp & Bok Choy Stir-Fry

We have never cooked with Bok Choy before. I am not sure why not but we really enjoyed this dish. It was simple and so flavorful!! It’s now added to our list of must make again!! This recipe is not our own completely but we changed a few things to make it more like what…

You’re One Smart Cookie – Treat for class

My daughter is to take a treat into class on Friday. We baked up some cookies and bagged them. Wanted to have a cute tag. The blog – it is what it is — I saw her tags. LOVED IT. I created my own using an Eagle since that is their mascot. (Looks like an…

Summer Cashew Chicken Salad Sandwich

I have never made this before or even eaten it.  Years ago a friend mentioned making it for a party. It just sounded good. Well as many of us know– it’s HOT OUTSIDE and I just did not want to cook and some odd reason I remember this chicken salad out of the blue. I…

Happy National S’mores Day – August 10

Did you know today is national S’mores day. When I think of S’mores I remember these S’more brownies Chad made for us to take over to a friends house. And like any S’mores I eat, I love my marshmallows very toasty. Well– this recipe we got them toasty. He caught them on fire in the…

Lemon Garlic Pepper Chicken Pasta by Chef Chad

Lemon Garlic Pepper Chicken Pasta- say that 4 times really fast. HA!! This dish was amazing. The family ate 2nd helpings (including the kidlets) and then the left overs were negotiated for lunch 🙂 This makes enough for at least 8-10 servings. So you can feed guest on just 3 chicken breasts and they are…

An oldie but goodie – Magic Cookie Bars

I grew up in the south all my life. I have had these amazing “Magic Cookie Bars” growing up. This past weekend my beautiful 88 yr old Grandmother passed away. We got to see her just before she left us. Once she passed– if your from the south– comfort = FOOD. Food started pouring in…

Apple Sour Cream Crumble Cupcakes

These were so moist and delicious. I enjoyed this cupcake because I didn’t have to frost it. It has a yummy crumble on top 🙂 This is Chad’s made up recipe. He did a GOOD JOB!! Cut up 1 1/2 cups of apples. We used the canned apples in water. In a skillet we cooked…

Goat Cheese & Spinach Omelet

We enjoy using goat cheese in many of our recipes. If you search for goat cheese on our blog you will see that we use the same spinach/goat cheese mix in many different ways.  Its delicious and it usually makes quite a bit. So we get creative. Start off with our spinach and goat cheese…

Lemon Sour cream Cupcake = Delicious Failcake

First things first.  What is a failcake?? Check out the definition of a failcake by BrekkeCakes.com Technically this is a Failcake Cheatercake. LOL  I love her terminology. It’s like part of my regular vocabulary!!! HA! Certainly this yummy looking cupcake couldn’t possibly be a failcake. AND the mere fact that I am admitting to my…

Fun Fishing Cupcakes

We featured these at TidyMom.net before father’s day and they are still my favorite cupcakes- and would do great for the summer months, and anyone that missed this tutorial I wanted to be sure to share it with our new fans. 🙂 My husband loves to fish with my son. They love to fish during…

Summertime Cupcake – Strawberry JAMboree

Strawberries remind me of the summertime.  I was bored the other night and I have been watching far too many episodes of Cupcake Wars on the TV. I was feeling just a tad bit adventurous. Of course I should have tried a bit more of a crazy items but for now I am pleased with…
