The good part about Pinterest? So many delicious recipes to try! The bad part about Pinterest? I’ve gained 100 pounds. Here are some sweet treats that I have made thanks to the Big P: No Bake Butterfinger Cheesecake from Bakers Royale I usually bake my cheesecakes but I was excited to try a no bake […]
I’ve been in a sea salt phase lately. If it’s got the phrase “sea salt” in it, I want to eat it or drink it! So when I saw these next two recipes on Pinterest, of course I made them! And they were DELICIOUS. DELICIOUS!! First I started out wanting to make these Salted Caramel […]
I made these banana oatmeal muffins last week off the cuff. They turned out quite deliciously so I thought I’d share!

This year I decided to give all local products for Christmas gifts. It’s been really fun to shop around and put the baskets together. I found some really cute wine totes on clearance at The Christmas Tree Shop that I stocked up on months ago. Now that Christmas time is here, I have been putting them to […]

It was delicious but being the lover of meats that I am, I couldn’t help but think… THIS WOULD BE SO MUCH BETTER WITH BACON! Yes, bacon inspiration requires all caps. So I […]
I read a post by Wendi Aarons today about What My Kids Think I Do All Day When They’re At School and just laughed and laughed. I just knew I had to write my own list because we have this conversation every. single. day. It’s so funny what our kids (and others) think we do and […]
