Remember, its ice cream month? I really wanted to post another ice cream recipe this month, but life happens. Between a spur of the moment trip to Chicago, 3 dentist trips, and a teething baby I just didn’t get around to making the Backyard Mint Ice cream I had planned. You’ll probably see it in…

Ice Cream Sugar Cookies and an Ice Cream Birthday Party
So I was working on a really healthy veggie soup post and I just kept thinking about these cookies. I made them over a month ago and I have been dying to share them with you. I wanted to wait until July though, because it is National Ice Cream month!!! Here is what good old…
Graduation Hat Sugar Cookies
The big day is drawing near for many students and I thought I would post some cookies I made for my friend Shelly when she graduated from medical assisting school last year. I don’t have anyone in my life graduating from anything right now, but I will say that I am very proud of my…
Stamped Sugar Cookies (Polka Dots and Goodbye’s)
I am so excited about a little trick I figured out last week! I was looking for an excuse to make some sugar cookies with royal icing. I decided to make some for my neighbors who are moving next week. Honestly, I wasn’t even sure what kind of sugar cookie I was going to make….

Vegetarian and Sweet Potato Flautas
It’s the fifth day of a new year. How’s everyone doing with their resolutions? I really didn’t stress much about making resolutions this year.

Salted Honey Butter Pop Corn
I guess we all survived the Mayan Apocalypse, which is good because I wasn’t looking forward to giving birth in a post-apocalyptic world…or dying. And hopefully everyone had a great Christmas, too! I know I enjoyed visiting my family in Idaho (even though I had to fly back to Ohio on Christmas Day). Two big…
A Month of Pie: Lime-Coconut Pie with Macadamia-Coconut Crust
Today’s pie is my favorite pie to date. It reminds me of my Bath and Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena body lotion that I used to wear in high school. I used to wear it because my high school crush (now my hubby) loved that scent, so of course he loved this pie. It is…
Spooky Halloween Sugar Cookies & How to Ice Spider Web Cookies
