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…
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….
Valentines Day Conversation Heart Sugar Cookies (and my broken heart)

Candied Citrus Peel
I know we had a little celebration on this post because I finished my student teaching, but we need to celebrate again, ok? Tomorrow my husband is graduating! He will have his bachelor’s degree! I am so proud of him. He will be so mad when he reads this, but I need to brag for…
Light Lemon Blueberry Cheesecake
I am trying to plan a menu for next week. This is a difficult task for me. Why? Because I get side tracked by desserts. I have found 10 dessert recipes that I want to try for every 1 main meal that I want to try. Help. Do any of you have a good recipe…
Brown Sugar and Spice Sugar Cookies and Royal Icing Tutorial
So, you may have seen my previous attempts at sugar cookies. Messy, ugly, unappetizing. You can see some of them here or here. I have tried a couple different recipes and I am happy to say that I have finally found one that I like! The ones I am showing you today are spiced with…
