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…

Homemade Gummies
I LOVE gummy bears. I think I might be addicted to them. My mother in-law gave me a 6 pound bag of them for Christmas and they were gone weeks ago. I did share ( a little bit). The only way I can choke down vitamins is if I buy them in gummy bear form….
Poppy Seed Crackers
There is this show called Eureka that my husband and I have been watching lately. It is about this town in Oregon called Eureka that was founded to house the smartest minds in America. They are constantly making new scientific discoveries and creating new inventions. Everything is always going wrong and they are always…
Parmesan Risotto
Risotto is creamy delicious rice that can make any meal seem fancy. I love to watch this show on Food Network called Chopped. It is a show where four chefs are given a basket of interesting ingredients and they have a half and hour to make either an appetizer, main course, or dessert for a…
