It is Friday! Lets do some holiday making… with some Christmas blondies….of course. I mean would you expect anything less? First can we have a little chat? Why are Blondies called Blondies? Really, I can not figure it out. I mean I know some blondies do not have chocolate in them, so I can understand why those blondies would be called blondies. But what about […]

Chicken. We eat it. A lot of it. And I am not exaggerating. With a house full of boys it is inevitable. Inevitable. We have this family recipe. A recipe I make sometimes 3 times a week. Honestly, I do not know where it originated from, but we have been making it since I can […]

Latkes, lat-kee, lat-kuh, potato pancakes, fritters, lakes (what I say, because I have awful grammar and am obviously not jewish). Whatever you decide, know one thing. They are good!

Well, actually I am not sure it is really a truffle. More like chocolate covered pecan butter balls, but I just really like the word truffle. It sounds fancy…….and […]

Taco’s are a staple over here. A once a week kind of thing. Plain and simple ground beef taco’s. The boys love taco’s. Probably because they are just that plain and simple beef, soft or hard taco shells, and a whole lot cheese. Fish tacos however are a different story. Six out of the nine […]

Remember when I made Fluffy Snickerdoodles? And there was actually no chocolate! In or on top! And they were insanely addicting! Well, I had intended to do the same with these snickerdoodle muffins, but then the ganache thing happened. Not just any ganache, Kahlua Chocolate Ganache. See I was having a grand old-time on this […]

Buttery crackers, eggs, cheese, asparagus, and bacon. And mmm, more cheese. YUM. Before my family moved to Colorado, every Christmas Eve ( and I mean every Christmas Eve. My mom has done this as long as I can remember) my mom would have a huge party for my dad’s side of the family. This meant […]

I live in a small town. I mean not that small, but small enough to not be able to find sesame crackers, sesame sticks or sesame anything for that matter! Anywhere! Actually I take that back, occasionally I find a box at target. But that is it, just one box! I know, crazy right? So I wiped away […]
