I made it to Ohio! I know it took me forever to post a new recipe, but I just barely got me internet hooked up. Can I just talk about my new home for a minute? It is awesome! There are so many awesome restaurants, foreign food markets, and farmers markets! We even have a…
Graduation Hat Candies
Hello everyone!!! How are you today? I am doing surprisingly great today! I just packed everything I own except my laptop and my bed into a moving truck. Moving usually exhausts me emotionally and physically, but I am actually doing great! We had awesome neighbors come help us load the truck and we got everything…
Toasty Chickpea Bacon Salad
I am moving to Ohio next week. From Idaho. That is 1,755 miles. Needless to say, I am trying to use up the stuff in my fridge and cupboard quickly because there is no way I am hauling all the food in my fridge on a four day road trip. So I thought to my…
Chocolate Graham Cracker Cupcakes with Toasted Marshmallow
Can you buy someone’s love and approval with cup cakes? Probably not, but maybe it helps? Maybe? We are desperately trying to get someone to fill our apartment before we move and someone is finally coming to look at it tomorrow morning. We are running out of time and we really need someone to fill…
Homemade Kettle Corn
Ok, so I just typed this long thing about how I am having a terrible day. Its true that I have felt gloomy all day. Mostly because I spent most of the day at the dentist. I have eight cavities. Yup, eight. Not fun. I wailed about how the book I was in the middle…

Buckeyes
In June I am moving to Ohio because my husband is going to start medical school at Ohio State University. To celebrate I made these tasty little confections. They are called buckeye’s because they look so much like the nut from the Ohio Buckeye Tree. They are deep brown with a little circle of light…
Garden Veggie Pizza
I was kind of hoping to celebrate spring and make something fresh and colorful, but the weather had something different in mind. I still made something fresh and colorful, but I will have to postpone celebrating spring. Yup, it is snowing as I type. That’s Idaho for you. I guess I will have to wait…
March Madness! A Day of Basketball Treats.
I am not really a sports person, but this year I have actually been following the March Madness tournament a little bit. The team I was rooting for made it to the Sweet 16, but lost to Florida. I am a true blue BYU Cougars fan. I was born into it. My parents went there…
Tartufi (Ice Cream Truffles)
I recently held a “How to make homemade ice cream” lesson for some of the teenage girls in my church. I had them make chocolate brownie ice cream, strawberry sorbet, and ice cream sandwiches. I also brought some coconut ice cream and some delicious little balls of amazingness: Tartufi. It is a strange name (it…
