Rave/Confession: High School Musical 3

Don't make fun....Yes, I must confess that Adam & I went to see this movie opening weekend. It was so good! Ever since my little brother and sister (ages 9 and 12) introduced us to the first one, we've been hooked. We even have the sound track to the second movie, and now this one. This movie has some great music, amazing choreography, and a really sweet story line. It's a great date … Read More

Candy Corn Fudge

Let me just say that I love candy corn, and didn't buy any this year because I was afraid I would eat the entire bag. However, I recently saw these on Pennies on a Platter and just couldn't resist making them for my parents annual rake day for their college ministry. These taste so much like candy corn and they look so cute too! These are a delicious fall treat and great for a get together. … Read More

Simply Irrisistible

We don't celebrate Halloween, but this year there were two things I couldn't resist. The first was buying our new puppy, Hershey, this hot dog costume. Isn't he so cute! The second was making these fun mummy dogs I found on Delicious Meliscious. They took me right back to my childhood. My mom would make pigs in the blanket with crescent rolls and I just loved them. I had forgotten … Read More

Taco Soup Ingredients: 1 lb. … Read More

We got to the beach around noon each day and the weather was perfectly warm-but not … Read More

Mom’s Light Broccoli Casserole

This is one of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes. My mom makes it every year. It's so yummy and comforting, and low-fat too! It's a great way to get your veggies in, and goes great with anything.

Mom's Light Broccoli … Read More
