I know that I already showed you all how to do this when I made Roasted Garlic and Cheddar Mashed Potatoes, but I wanted devote a post just for this easy trick. Garlic takes on an entirely different flavor when it is roasted. It becomes soft, creamy, caramelized, and slightly sweet. Mash it into potatoes,…

Cranberry Sauce
Real quick, I have one more Thanksgiving recipe that I almost forgot to post! I hope it’s not to late for everyone to see before Thanksgiving. This sauce was easy and you can make it ahead of time and refrigerate it! The cranberries give off their own pectin and make it gel without adding anything…
Candied Yams
This is one of my Thanksgiving favorites! I always serve it with the main course even though it is as yummy and sweet as a dessert. This is something that I like now that my taste buds have matured a little bit. When I was young I thought they were disgusting. I never actually…
Mint Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats
This is a great little Rice Krispie Treat recipe that I made up. It turned out delicious. After my first success, I got so excited about putting my own little spin of one of my favorite treats that I decided to try another Rice Krispie Treat original creation. It was a disaster! Word to the…

Halloween Treats: Deviled Egg Eyeballs
I don’t know how I feel about Halloween, honestly. I have a love hate relationship with Halloween. I loved getting tons of candy as a kid, but I didn’t really like wearing sweat pants under my ballerina costume because in Rexburg, Idaho, it snows every Halloween. I love seeing little kids all dressed up, but…
Pepperoni, Cheese, and Herb Stuffed Sourdough
I am a sucker for specialty grocery stores. I love international markets. I love to walk across the street to the Japanese grocery store and buy Melona popsicles. I love to stop by the Indian market and pick up a can of Lychee juice. I love going next door to my work to walk through…
White Chocolate Caramel Apples with Cinnamon Sugar
Today was a good day. In my religion (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), there is a bi-annual worldwide conference broad cast. In April and October, everyone in my church watches talks and messages from the church leaders. There are two 2-hour sessions on both Saturday and Sunday and instead of going…
