I had the pleasure of hosting the first team dinner of the season for my daughter’s softball team last week! I still can’t believe she is a senior, and this will be her last year of playing the sport. Team dinners are always a fun time for socializing and team bonding. I think by now […]
tips for styling a dessert table
I believe that every good party needs a dessert table! In some cases, the dessert table may be ALL you need. That was the case when we celebrated our youngest daughter’s first communion. Following the evening church service, we hosted a few friends for cake and ice cream. Everyone loves dessert, and a beautifully decorated […]
best easy dinner salad
A few years ago, a friend of mine invited me to a “ladies lunch group” that she had been a part of for many years. I loved the concept of this lunch group! There were four friends and they each hosted the lunch once a year. The host decided the theme and menu for the […]
leap year
It only comes around once every four years…so that, in itself, makes it worth celebrating. Yes it’s Leap Year, and today is the date that we won’t have on our calendars again until 2020…February 29th! This fun snack will have everyone “leaping” for more! These frog cookies are simple to make with Oreos, pretzels, green […]
hot cocoa bunny bar
Using a small area on our kitchen counter, I created a hot cocoa bar for our family and any friends who happened to visit us during the holiday season. Click here to see how it came together. Well, the new year came and the hot cocoa bar stayed. Around mid January, I turned it into […]
cheesy garlic pull-apart bread
Who doesn’t love bread…sometimes I wish I didn’t like it so much! It makes a great accompaniment to soups, salads, and chili. I usually take the easy route and buy a loaf of multi-grain or a French baguette at the grocery. However, if you would like something more flavorful to serve with dinner, this recipe […]
“a kid in a candy store”
With Valentine’s Day approaching, I would bet that you will be purchasing some type of candy…perhaps chocolates, conversation hearts, lollipops or gummy bears for your loved ones! Candy stores are so fun, and we visited a fabulous one on a recent trip to Chicago. You may have heard of Dylan’s Candy Bar…there are a few […]
spinach tortellini soup
Soup is such a great meal in the winter! It just warms your insides and I always feel like broth (of any kind) is so nourishing to the body. We love this spinach tortellini soup at our house…it has great flavor, it’s heart healthy, and it’s pretty simple to throw together on a busy night […]
crockpot week–chocolate lava cake
I know “crockpot week” was LAST week, but I feel as though I cheated you out of that fifth recipe (since last Friday was national polka dot day…click here for that post). Anyway, here is the final recipe for crockpot week, and it’s the best one…CHOCOLATE LAVA CAKE! Yum!! Ingredients… box of chocolate cake mix […]
crockpot week–balsamic pork tenderloin
Have you pulled out your crockpot yet? I’ve shared some great recipes so far this week…soup, chicken, and oatmeal…(click for those recipes). Today is a recipe for balsamic glazed pork tenderloin. I can’t tell you which picky child of mine absolutely loves this, but it can’t be the vegetarian (so that only leaves two of […]
