A few days ago I went apple picking with my husband and daughter and it was magical. We ate straight from the tree until we were sick and went home with a big bag of the most beautiful, delicious Suncrisp apples. They are the best apples I have ever eaten. We decided right away that…

Cute Halloween Sugar Cookies
I just thought I would do a quick little post to show you the just-for-fun Halloween sugar cookies I made last week. After completing an order of 4 dozen cookies, I had a bunch of icing and some circle cookies left over. For the first time in a long time, I made cookies for no…
Loaded Thai Sweet Potatoes
We go through so many sweet potatoes in my house. Almost every week I pack a baking sheet full of them and cook them up. My husband loves them and takes them to school with him to eat with his lunch. He is weird and will hold one in his hand and eat it…
Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash
Every fall I always end up with an assortment of random squash and gourds sitting on my counter top that I did not buy. Please tell me I’m not the only one who goes through this squash dilemma every fall. Half the time some one gives them to us because they are sick of them…

Thanksgiving Round Up
Isn’t Thanksgiving the best? Its just so cozy. There is nothing better than sitting around in a warm home with friends or family and eating good food. And the next day, eating pumpkin pie for breakfast. Love it. This year, I am not really sure what I am doing for Thanksgiving. I might invite some…
Easy Mummy Sugar Cookies
While I was visiting my family in Idaho this month I was able to get some undivided sugar cookie time. How nice it was to have a mother and a mother in-law who want to spend time spoiling my little girl while I make cookies! I them already. Being away from home while making these…
