   A few weeks ago I was looking through a link party and saw these Andes Mint Cupcakes. I went to the Kurtz Corner and was reading the posting when Little Chef A came over and asked what I was doing. She saw them and thought they looked “soooo good!” I knew right then and […]

  Have you ever heard of Color Me Rad? Until signing up for the Breathing Space Blogger Retreat I was not familiar with it. Take a look at the pictures! It looks like a big party right!    We are not a running family, but we have been trying to get out and run/walk in […]

    We pulled out the turkey from the refrigerator and cut open the bag. Little Chef A patted the turkey dry on both sides and placed it in the roasting pan.   Little Chef C cut the orange and onion in 8ths. She did it the night before so she knew exactly how to […]

    I am SO excited to attend Breathing Space a blogger retreat in Daybreak, Utah on May 4-5, 2012. I stumbled onto a post about this conference a couple weeks ago. I thought it would be good to meet other bloggers, especially because I’m new to this whole blogging world! My next thought was would […]

Welcome to Fantastic Thursday! Thanks to all who linked up last week! Each of you help make this party successful!   Be sure to come back next week to see if you have been featured and to link up your latest creation!  I’d appreciate it if you would link up in some way; button or text […]

    When Little Chef A first made Crostini Alla Romana it was successful except the bread was too thick.  Caprese Tartlets by Melissa D’ Arabian have pretty much the same ingredients. Tarlets are small and that is what my Little Chefs love to eat; anything small.   Little Chef A used one of our […]

     We thought it would be fun to try some recipes from other blogs. The first recipe we are trying is Chicken and Black Bean Green Enchilada Rice Bake from Picky-Palate. The Little Chefs thought they could do this recipe because it is a simple dump recipe with most everything from a can. I […]

  Pre-made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are very convenient. We were at Costco a while ago and Little Chef Dad wanted to buy some from the freezer section. I understand they are great to take for a last minute outing or drive through the canyon, but I have a hard time paying that much […]

I have exciting news! We are moving to WordPress!   I will be saying farewell to my Google Friends Connect widget but hope that if you are following me via GFC that you will find a new way to connect {i.e. Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, etc}.  We will also be taking a break until the […]

   For over a year now I have realized my Little Chefs love to help in the kitchen. They love to watch cooking shows and they are starting to develop their senses for food. I love when my oldest Little Chef walks in the door and says “I smell…..” Amazingly she is usually correct! I […]

  Once a week we have movie night. Frequently pizza goes along with it. Tonight we decided to make Stuffed Pizza Rolls from Our Best Bites. Everyone wanted to help. I made the pizza dough earlier in the day. Little Chef A used her new rolling pin to roll it out into a rectangle. The […]

  Today’s recipe was chosen by Little Chef C, Coriander and Mustard Seed Crusted Salmon from Chef Robert Irvine. We watched an episode of his show, Restaurant Impossible, where he was making over a school restaurant. I think because he was working with High School student chefs my Little Chefs were OVERLY excited and enthrawled. […]
