Each Christmas, my kids and I make a few batches of chocolate pretzel treats. I typically put them in pretty bags and give them to friends and family. This year however, I decided to change it up and use Rolos in place of Hershey kisses. The Rolo's added a nice chocolate caramel center, instead of ...

Ginger Banana Bread
This past week, I opened my freezer and found several bananas. Anytime I buy bananas and they get too ripe....I toss them in the freezer to make banana bread. Well, I had over 6 bananas in there as of a few days ago and knew I needed to use some up. Since Christmas is coming up, I was in the mood ...
Chippy’s Chocolate Peppermint Donuts
With Christmas coming up, our house has an elf on the shelf. I am sure you have heard of it, but if not, it is an "elf" that comes from the North Pole and tells Santa each night if the kiddos have been good or bad. My kids LOVE seeing where Chippy (they named him) ends up each morning. He's been ...
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
Let me first start out by saying that these cinnamon rolls were made exclusively by my hubby. He is Mr. Breakfast whereas me, I am not. I am more of a "grab something quick and go" kind of gal. This past weekend, he mentioned he was in the mood for homemade cinnamon rolls. Since I had a can of ...
Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Seeds
Since Halloween is coming up, my hubby and kids carved their pumpkins last weekend. It was the first year all the kids were old enough to do their own! My youngest carved a scary haunted house, my middle carved an owl, and my oldest carved a ghost! It was quite comical watching the kids lift the ...
Pumpkin Bread
Tis the season for pumpkin everything, right? By now, I have made everything from muffins, to scones, cakes, and even pasta dishes using pumpkin! However, I realized I never shared my go to pumpkin bread recipe. Oops! This pumpkin bread is incredibly simple, and my kiddos can make it just about all ...
Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins
Technically it is Fall, however, here in Texas, the temperature is still in the 90's. Since we came from Seattle, WA, my family is definitely missing the Fall weather, leaves changing, layering clothes, sipping on apple cider, etc. This past weekend my hubby and I took the kids to the local ...
Buttery Bread Machine Rolls
Okay, let me first start out by warning you; these dinner rolls are addicting. By addicting, I mean, you won't be able to have just one. Heck, even having only two will take some self control. But seriously, these are a must try. My hubby made smoked chicken the other day (recipe coming soon), ...
Monkey Bread Muffins
Growing up, my mom would make monkey bread on occasion, and I remember both my brother and I going crazy over it. Since it was a rare treat, we always ate a few servings worth, and of course, had major sugar highs. Now that I am a mom, I love when I too can make things from my childhood, for my ...
