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…
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…
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…
Valentines Day Conversation Heart Sugar Cookies (and my broken heart)
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…
Cream Cheese and Chive Biscuits
I am usually pretty good at cooking. I can usually get something to taste pretty yummy. However, there is one type of food that I have messed up more than any other food: Biscuits. I don’t know why, either. I have made so many yucky biscuits, and I don’t really know what I do wrong….
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…
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…
Christmas Red Velvet Whoopee Pies
Have you ever had “one of those days?” A day where nothing seems to be going right? A day where everything ends up being so much harder than in should be or needs to be? Well that was how my day was when I made these really easy cookies. The recipe for these cookies…
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…
