I decided something this year. I don’t mesh well with Valentines Day. I love holidays and I love being festive, but I have problems every Valentine’s Day. Its not that I hate the holiday because it reminds me of how lonely I really am (because I am not lonely and I have been happily married…

Lemon Meringue Pie Ice Cream
The other day I went out for some ice cream with my aunt. We went to a Farr’s creamery. They had tons of different flavors of fresh made ice cream. I chose the Lemon Meringue Pie ice cream. I wouldn’t normally choose that flavor because I don’t really like lemon meringue pie itself, but for…
Enchilada Soup
I grew up in the frozen tundra of Sugar City, Idaho. It is COLD there. It is FREEZING! It wouldn’t be so bad, except that the wind is bitter and is almost always blowing. Even just a half hour away is so much warmer. The other day when I was visiting, it was one of…
Applesauce Muffins
When I think of muffins, I think of my two younger brothers. I first think of Joe who loves any kind of breakfast food. He makes himself German pancakes for lunch, has a “cereal snack” three times a day, and he can eat more muffins than anyone I know. He is 15, 6’3” or 4”, …

Stuffed Mushrooms
So, right now I am at a high school speech and debate tournament as a judge. I judge at most tournaments that are near me, and each time I wonder why I am still judging. I am a very good speech judge, but I don’t know hardly anything about debate. I mean, I can usually…
Asparagus Soup
When I was in third grade, I was a member of a “detective’s club”. It consisted of my best friend Chantelle, a boy named Matt, and me. We didn’t really do anything, except wander around the playground and write information down about different things we noticed. “It looks like so and so has a crush…
Caramel Vanilla Rice Krispie Treats
I love Rice Krispie treats. They are probably my favorite dessert after cheesecake. I even had my wedding cake made from rice Krispie treats.They are also one of the easiest treats to make. Most of you probably already know how to make Rice Krispie treats, but you never know. Maybe some of you out…
