It's the one time of year I'll splurge on the dessert plate and try it all. At least once. Here are a few of my favorite holiday desserts for you to try this year... Fudge Pecan Pie … [Read more...]

Coconut Key Lime Bread
Last week a dream came true for me. This dream has been 2 years in the making. Not long after I found out I was pregnant with Cuatro in the summer of 2012, a terrible longing for the beach came over me. Like, a crazy longing. To be at the beach, by myself...with my girlfriends. (My husband is a mountain guy, so a beach vacation with him might be a bad idea!) When you have … [Read more...]
6 Baked Oatmeal Recipes

Freezer Friendly Sweet & Savory Breakfast Muffins
Having a stash of goodies is essential for making it through busy weeknights and weekday mornings! I love having breakfast muffins in the freezer for a quick 'grab n go' breakfast.

That's … [Read more...]

Ok, friend. You have to make these. They are one of my kids' most popular requests for lunch boxes...and I saved them for the end of our 31 Days of School Lunchbox Ideas. I sent them on their first day of school this week. I had stashed a few in the very back of the freezer, so they would actually make it to the first day of school. I dropped 2 into each lunch box and sent them … [Read more...]
Corndog Muffins
Want something for your kiddos lunchbox that they'll (probably) gobble up?! While we don't eat that many hot dogs, when we do I prefer to buy the Applegate uncured variety because its a healthier version, but somewhat more expensive!
