There’s nothing as wonderful as coming home to spider monkey hugs; and cuddles on the couch that include hand holding and hearing “I love you, mom. I missed you, mom” repeated over and over again. I had the most incredible time in Utah at the Better Blog Retreat this weekend, but there’s nothing like coming…
Do you have a snack that whisks you back to the sticky fingers, smudged faces, gap toothed smiles, full bellies, and pure happiness of childhood? Caramel Corn is one of those foods that immediately takes me back to baseball games, county fairs, rodeos, and lazy afternoons sharing bowls of sticky caramel coated corn with my…
Do you remember your first Chex mix? I vividly remember the first salty, crunchy handful of Chex cereal mixed with pretzels and spices. It was intoxicating and completely addicting. Playing with Chex cereals to create different mixes, blends, holiday recipes etc… is something that I find great pleasure in, and I’ve been known…

via pinterest So much happiness to share with y’all. Books Unless you live under a rock, you’ve heard of the fabulously delicious website, Skinnytaste.

We’ve made Pumpkin Pie Cake Doughnut Bites, black bean pumpkin chili, and slow cooker roasted chicken. Next up – more chili, taco soup, apple spice cake, some cobblers, and light chicken poblano…
What cookie takes you on a trip back to childhood? What cookie whisks you back to flour coated faces, sticky fingers, and snatching barely cooled straight-out-of-the-oven-still-too-hot-to-eat cookies? One bite of an Oatmeal Scotchie sends me straight back to my Granny’s kitchen. Straight back to fighting with my brothers over pouring, stirring, mixing, spoon licking, and…
Happy Monday Morning! Let’s start today out with something a bit delicious. Moody Gardens and The City of Galveston Visitors Bureau hosted a lunch at Blog Elevated on Friday, and they began the lunch with Italian Cream Cake slices on each table. I have oodles of respect for a place that begins the meal with…
Perhaps I should have called this slightly tipsy, just a little bit adult cranberry avocado pumpkin bread? C’est la vie. For the past year or so I’ve been playing around with different pumpkin bread recipes, because I adore the rich, creamy, subtle flavor that pumpkin adds to bread, and because Fall, y’all. I have…
Happy Monday, y’all. What a weekend we had! Monkey turned 8 on Saturday; attended 2 birthday parties on his birthday – neither for him, and had his birthday party on Sunday at our favorite gymnastics complex. It was a Texans themed party,and I made the kids’ favorite ice cream cone cupcakes and decorated them with…
