Today, I’m bringing you a healthy alternative to traditional pumpkin bread (found… [Continue Reading]
Yesterday, I was early preparing my list for our Fall Festival cake walk. Since my oldest is a junior, I get the pleasure of making at minimum of 12 cakes for the cake walk. Each junior parent is asked to do this. That’s a lot of cakes! My plans are to mix it up with… [Continue Reading]
You should know that just because I am taking Wilton Decorating classes, that it doesn’t mean I’m any good at it still. I’m definitely learning much more but I still have such a long ways to go. With this Hair Raising Cake, I wanted to do three things; incorporate Halloween of course, try not to… [Continue Reading]
Have you seen my post where Truett helps me bake a ton of cupcakes? I LOVE cooking and baking with my kids, always have. Even if it’s just them helping me stir something or grabbing a potato and handing it to me, it’s all special because they are moments between me and them. I want… [Continue Reading]

The bake-off was held in Orlando, Florida at a beautiful Waldorf=Astoria Orlando and Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek hotel. While riding from the airport… [Continue Reading]
A good pie crust seems to be one of the harder things to make in the kitchen. Contrary to the title, mine are not perfect but I do feel like they come close to being great. I bet I’ve tried a gazillion pie crust recipes over the years and this one comes out just the… [Continue Reading]
In my goal to be fit, not only am I working out to the Your Shape Wii Game, I’m also eating things healthier when I can. Trying to find healthy substitutions to replace the easy accessible junk food can prove to be difficult at times. I realized that trying to find prepackaged healthy food was… [Continue Reading]
I absolutely love challenges, cook-offs, and bake-offs which is why I’m constantly watching shows like Challenge, Chopped, and Iron Chef but have you ever considered entering a food challenge (<–which btw, the winner will be announced soon)? As much as I love challenges, I don’t know if I’d enter. I’m just not that creative but… [Continue Reading]
When Wilton asked me to do a review, I had no idea all the wonderful goodies they would be sending would be so fabulous and make little man go CRAZY!! As a long time user of Wilton, I honestly knew this review would be biased because well, I have always loved them. My son’s 4th… [Continue Reading]
For our family the perfect muffin has to be healthy and also nut free (my daughter’s daycare is nut free), low carb for me and yet still delicious and moist for my husband.
