I am so excited to be working with Christmas in Color this year. The creators from the Midway Ice Castles have made something else spectacular this year called Christmas in Color. It is a mile long light show in Kearns, Utah created by world-renowned lighting artist and Utah native Richard Holdman. The location is literally […]

Whenever I pass by the bakery we see the amazing danish pastries. They are flaky and crisp on the outside with a fruit filling. Guess what? Danish recipes are not that difficult when you use frozen puff pastry. When you need a quick and easy recipe to impress make these Raspberry Cream Cheese Turnovers. Any dessert […]

If you like counting down the days to anything and everything, then this Countdown Plaque is something you need!  Whether you are counting down to a birthday, a holiday, a vacation, days until school ends or begins, days until Grandma and Grandpa come to visit, days until a movie is released….you get the idea, you […]

Just a few tips: Adding the fruit to the dry ingredients and coating each piece of fruit well prevents the fruit from sinking. When combining the dry and wet ingredients stir sparingly. Don’t stir too much if you want a light muffin. Some lumps are ok. The muffins will be place in an oven at […]

We have been on vacation in Denver, CO for the past few days. Hamond’s Candy Factory is one of the places we visited. We were able to go on a 30 minute tour to see how the candy is made. The Little Chef’s eyes were opened and they were very excited to see anything they […]

It was about 2 years ago when we went on a family vacation and thought we had a sick 2 year old. Little did we know that those were the first big indications of a growing brain tumor. It wasn’t until months later when lots of little pieces were put together and a very helpful doctor […]

This weeks we are excited to talk about the book The Gingerbread Man.  This is another classic book that is many of us have grown up reading.  The story is about a woman who wanted to do something nice for her husband because of all the hard work he does around their house and yard.  So, […]

I first found out about the Tyler Robinson Foundation a couple weeks ago while preparing for the Build Your Blog Conference. Since then it has been on my mind a lot. The TRF is about pediatric cancer. As I was talking to some representatives of TRF I shared a little about Haley’s story, they then called […]

Have you ever found the PERFECT chocolate chip cookie? Have you found one you like then stopped looking or trying others? We haven’t. At some point someone will say their recipe is the best and then you will feel inclined to try it. At least that happens here. I don’t think this qwest will ever […]

I made these Roasted Mixed Vegetables with Basil last night and they were a HUGE hit! I was shopping at a store where I get fruits and vegetables when I saw baby eggplant 5/$1. I had never seen eggplant in baby form and I thought it was a good deal so I bought some. A […]

Before we learn how to peel, slice and chop onions it is important to know the different types of onions and some of their uses. My Little Chefs had so many questions we decided to find the answers to them. If a recipe calls for an onion what type do they mean? Since yellow onions […]

Coconut Macaroons are one of my favorite occasional treats. The coconut is toasted on the outside making a crunchy crust while the inside is still soft and chewy. This recipe has only 5 ingredients, including sweetened condensed milk, which you probably already have in your pantry. Coconut macaroons is truly an easy recipe. Just a […]

Roasted Brussels Sprouts are created in the oven until they are carmelized. This easy recipe makes the perfect side dish. Cut each sprout in half and cut out the choke which is the bottom inner part,see the “v” cut in the picture. Add the halved sprouts to a bowl with the remaining ingredients to season […]

Do you remember our Super Dad Father’s Day Card? I decided to make another version of it, this time with a candy bar. Sometime kids (mine) like to give a gift not just a card. To them a candy bar counts as a gift. This Father’s Day Card Super Dad version is simpler and quicker […]
