I saw these on Annie's Eats and just knew I had to make them sometime, so I filed the recipe away for the right opportunity to make them. I thought they would be great to make for our youth retreat because what teenager doesn't love hostess cupcakes?? These were really good, plus they are super cute. Next time, I will cut out the holes for the filling in the cupcakes with a paring knife … Read More
My friend Shawna made this for me for lunch a few weeks ago and it was so delicious. A hearty, yet light lunch. She told me she got it out of the Dinner Doctor cookbook, which I happen to have. So I immediately put it on the menu. Shawna adds 1/4 cup of red onion to the penne salad, so I did too. This is really good and even better the next day. You can serve it slightly warm or cold. If you … Read More
This past weekend I worked a youth retreat, and the theme was Love Wins. I wanted to bake a few goodies for everyone to enjoy. Along with a few other things, I thought I would make some heart sugar cookies that said 'Love Wins.' As I was baking them, I had the bright idea to also write some cute valentine messages on them like the conversation hearts candies. You know, Be Mine, Cutie Pie, … Read More
This is the final thing I made for our Super Bowl Party. (well I also made these homemade oreos which are SO good). This sweet & salty snack will have everyone asking, "What is that?" It looks like packing peanuts, but it is almond bark popcorn. Our friend Ric introduced this to our family at our annual Christmas Caroling party. But be warned...it. is. addictive. If you can't handle … Read More
This is another appetizer I served at our Super Bowl Party this past weekend. We volunteered on Saturday to host the party after one of our friend's children became sick. We were excited and happy to host, but realized that not that many people had signed up to bring appetizers, but mostly desserts. So Sunday morning, Adam & I were standing in the middle of Wal-mart racking our brains … Read More
This past weekend we had our Sunday School class over to watch the super bowl. Unfortunately our Titans didn't make it, even though they had an amazing season. However, that didn't stop us from wearing our Titans gear. Nor did it stop us from putting out our Titans flag and the Titans towels they gave out at the playoff game we went too (pictured below with the guacamole-who needs a terrible … Read More
Our Sunday School class was making a meal for our pastor's family and I signed up to make dessert. Our pastor has ten children, so I knew I had to make something that everyone could just grab and go. I immediately thought of some sort of cookie, but I didn't want to just make regular chocolate chip (even though those are my favorite). I was looking back through my saved recipes and came … Read More
I found this recipe a while back on The Spicy Skillet and thought they looked so intriguing. This is a great healthy recipe for something that is usually indulgent. These were so tasty. I served them with rice for dinner, but they would make great appetizers as well. The Spicy Skillet made some changes to the recipe and I followed her instructions, but you can find the original recipe at … Read More
I have never been a huge fan of grapefruit. I always find it much too tart. Well, I saw these cookies about a year ago on Martha Stewart's show. I printed out the recipe from her website and filed it away. I had thought about it a couple of times but had just never made it. Then it came across my Cookie of the Day e-mail from Martha (yes I do get the cookie of the day e-mails, I know it's a … Read More
