Scones are one of my favorite treats. They often get a bad rap, but they are a beautiful balance between a cake and a biscuit and so versatile with all the flavors you can add to them. I made these chocolate chip scones for our Sunday School Class a couple weeks ago and they were a huge hit! Everyone was raving over them. They are the perfect little size and just sweet enough you could even … Read More
It's that time of the year when hearts abound & red, pink and white are everywhere. To be honest, Valentine's has never been my favorite holiday. I spent my share of them alone before God brought Adam to me, but even after being married I prefer to do special things for each other throughout the year and seem to think you shouldn't need a holiday to do that. However, the romantic mushy … Read More
Nothing comforts and warms the soul like a great bowl of soup! Plus soup makes for great leftovers making our dollars stretch a little further. This soup is made to taste like Panera's Broccoli Cheddar (which is fabulous!) and it really is very similar! I opted to lighten up this recipe by reducing the amount of butter & flour and using fat free half & half and reduced fat cheese. … Read More
Adam is a HUGE fan of pop-tarts, but not just any pop-tarts, they have to be the plain strawberry with no icing. He loves them and always begs for me to buy them. I had snacks for Sunday School this past week, and I remembered seeing some homemade pop-tarts on a few blogs. I thought I would try my hand at them and see if he liked the homemade version. These are so flaky and buttery and … Read More
I love to have dessert each night after dinner. I always just need a little something sweet. I try to have something that's not super bad for you, (like Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches-LOVE!- or a weeknight s'mores). I've bought 100 calorie packs in the past, but let's be honest some of them can taste a little bit on the cardboard side. When I saw these, I was so excited because not only was … Read More
I'm not one that makes breakfast on a regular basis. I eat breakfast everyday, but it's more of a grab & go kind of thing. You see, I'm not what one would call a morning person...I'm of the night owl breed. I'm not mean in the morning, just takes me a while to get awake and going. So my idea of a special breakfast is usually Cracker Barrel or Panera! But on our snowy day, Adam & I … Read More
Monday morning we woke up to about 8 inches of snow, this is considered a blizzard where whe live! I actually woke up at 3am & saw the snow and was so excited I had trouble going back to sleep! It doesn't snow all that much here so it's super exciting! We spent the day sledding and making a snow sculpture (picture at the bottom)! I knew we needed a comforting dish to warm us up … Read More
This is quite possibly the easiest appetizer ever! Everyone will ask you what is in that? It's not even a recipe really, just two ingredients you throw together. This is the perfect appetizer for a spur of the moment party or when you need something quick, easy and tasty! It really is quite addictive. All you do is take cream cheese and top it with red pepper jelly & serve with crackers. … Read More
Happy New Year!! I hope everyone is rested up from the festivities and beginning to get back in the swing of things. It's been hard for me, total lack of motivation for sure! I need to get going. Adam & I did sit down yesterday and make a list of goals for this year. We called them goals and made sure they were realistic so that hopefully we can obtain them with God's help! One of the … Read More
