Mommy's Little Helper: Christmas Sugar Cookies!

I love the holidays: the music, the decorations and of course, the baking! I have found myself doing much more baking than usual this year. (I'm going to blame my husband for buying me a Kitchenaid for my birthday in August! But I love it and him for it!) The trouble with baking though is that …

I've been featured!

A little bit ago I was contacted by an awesome blogger, Liv Kit, to do an interview on her blog 'Simply Sunshine and Daisies'. She has been doing features on bloggers with less than 100 followers and I was one of the chosen, so for anyone interested in reading that interview, you can find i…

PW Cooks-Pt. 2: The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever.

This is not my claim, follow the link for the recipe and see for yourself! However, I have to say this cake is pretty amazing! I don't make cakes much- with our small family they never seem to go quick enough to make it worth it, and even when I do make cakes, I usually cheat and use the boxed …

My Addiction: Pioneer Woman Cooks! Pt. 1

Veggies, Veggies, Veggies

I will be the first to admit, side dishes are not my strength...I try to prepare well balanced meals, but to be honest, most of the veggies I serve are just plain old canned veggies, which is fine at times, but it gets old. I lack creativity in this department! Anyone with any good ideas, feel free…

What's Cooking? (a few recipes and a look back.)

When I started this blog it was partly my intention to share some of the recipes I've tried on my learning to cook journey. I have not done well at keeping up with that at all (or with the blog in general for that matter). I am going to try to work on that. So, I thought I'd post a few link…
