For quite some time I made our granola bars pretty frequently – like twice a month or so. They were easy to have on snacking, had decent protein and we all like them. Then Ryan started hinting at the desire for basic granola. He would crumble the granola bars into his yogurt or would stop…

We love trying new recipes in our house and have a love for all kinds of cuisine. We cook at home every night so sometimes we are on the hunt for new awesome recipes to try. This soup is so yummy. I’m a “soup in the winter and maaaaybe autumn” kind of girl but living…
One of my favorite things for dinner when I would be at my dad’s over the weekends growing up was Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. They went hand in hand with my love of chips and salsa that I still adore today. I could probably live off of chips and salsa but that’s not the point…
I used to be a box brownies girl – and not even a huge brownies lover of any kind – at that. Too “cakey”, too dry, too…blech. One day I wanted brownies and I wasn’t about to drive to the local store for an overpriced box mix…and so it began. The hunt and crafting of…
A couple of weeks ago, we took A to the mall and had Wetzel’s Pretzels while we were there. It was A’s first time having big, fluffy warm pretzels and it had been years for both Ryan and I. They were so yummy. Ryan had grabbed them while A was taking a nap on me and…
One of my favorite pastimes was being in the kitchen with my mom as a little girl baking bread. We would always make it, stick in the the bread maker and the house will smell divine. Cinnamon Raisin was always my favorite. It hadbeen so long since I made bread (other than rolls, etc.) and finally…
Back in Kansas when someone asks you to come over for a BBQ you know that are planning smoking meats or something that involves barbecue sauce. Pulled Pork, Ribs Brisket, all the yummy goodness. Out here in Colorado when invited to BBQ really means “grill” – I’m not talking about grilling ribs, I’m talking about hamburgers…
I’m pretty hit and miss on muffins, sometimes I love them…sometimes not so much. I’m very picky about flavor and texture, I want them light and flavorful. These are exactly that and a household favorite around here. So delicious! [yumprint-recipe id=’12’]Enjoy!
A few weeks ago I made a new recipe for cookies that I came across. They had rave reviews, looked delicious and I just couldn’t pass them up. So I put A in the wrap and we started putting together all of the ingredients. I tasted the dough and became nervous, very nervous. I wasn’t…
Yum. Nothing is more delicious than a thick, hearty potato soup on a cold snowy winter day. At least not in our house anyway. There is just something about the way the aroma of the creamy bacon potato soup fills the air that give you a comfort of home. [yumprint-recipe id=’14’] Enjoy!
I’m tend to be the mom that likes to make sure I’m making whatever is best for A to eat. I feel like its important to pay close attention to what I’m feeding her and what is in her food. It’s easy to pick up a package of muffins at the store but a lot…
We eat a LOT of salads in our house. Usually about 3-5 a week. For years I would usually only eat Ranch or Dorothy Lynch. Delicious. Quite some time ago we were making Italian Dressing and we had an idea…add Balsamic Vinegar to our dressing. It was such a good idea. We played with the…
We love to bake in our house but to be honest we aren’t huge sweets eaters. We don’t eat frosting on our cake, we don’t eat a ton of chocolate. However, we do like fruit desserts. Love them really. My mother-in-law recently text me a photo of a crisp bar recipe on a recipe card…
What?! Two posts in one day?! What is wrong with me! Clearly, I’m feeling like an overachiever. Well friends, I found Shay’s Whatever Wednesday post (that she co-hosts weekly with Alissa) in my reader and thought “oh My, if I don’t participate one more time…” So then I saw the topic was a recipe and…
Today I wanted to share a recipe with you that has been something my family has made for years and I mean as long as I can remember. Up until this year, I was the only one in my family that was not a fan of it. Then, last year when I was pregnant I…
We love to grill in the summer, it’s quick, easy and it doesn’t heat up the house which is a major plus! We eat a variety of meats – chicken, beef, pork, etc. We were invited to the BzzAgent, Pork. Be Inspired. Campaign and we jumped on it! We went to our King Soopers and…

When I had just recently had A this last November my mom brought me these scones and they are absolutely delicious. After asking her for the recipe I made them many times and know I will continue to do so. They are a fan favorite for those I have made them for too. You seriously…
