  • S’MORE BAR

    S’MORE BAR

    {I am sharing this and another post over at Time Out For Women, go check it out!} I love making s’mores-all year round but especially in our fire pit over the summer. It’s such a fun family activity-(except for the fact that it means everyone has to take baths afterward because we all stink like…

  • AMERICAN FLAG PIE

    My husband loves pie, so any time I have an excuse to make a pie, he loves it. Not many things are more American than a pie…except maybe a pie that looks like the American flag… 🙂 It is a great patriotic dessert for the fourth of July. For the “stripes” part of the pie…

  • 4TH OF JULY YOGURT POPS

    4TH OF JULY YOGURT POPS

    Hey these yogurt pops are a super easy way to have a festive dessert on the fourth of July. I just filled some popsicle molds with three different types of yogurt. I used blueberry, vanilla and strawberry. I did add some fresh blueberries and strawberries in there. Also, because the organic yogurt I buy isn’t…

    ::TOP PICKS:: 4TH OF JULY

    The fourth of July is my favorite holiday. I love planning for it and thinking about it. So I thought I would share some of my favorite fourth of July recipes and DIYs. I have a few of my own in there from last year. I also have a few I am working on now…

  • MORNING JUICE RECIPES

    MORNING JUICE RECIPES

    You may remember from an earlier post, that my husband and I have been juicing since about January.  We started off with a juice only diet (me for 4 days, my husband for almost two weeks). Now, we still have a juice for breakfast every morning and my husband also drinks one for lunch too. I…

  • CAPRESE TORTELLINI

    CAPRESE TORTELLINI

    We recently planted our garden and I can’t wait until our tomatoes grow so that I can make all of my favorite caprese dishes. I have plenty of basil. I also want to make some mozzarella cheese-which will be a new experience, but we love fresh mozzarella around here! I could eat caprese pizza, caprese…

  • RASPBERRY JELLO PARFAIT

    RASPBERRY JELLO PARFAIT

    I love making berry desserts in the warm weather. I made these raspberry jello parfaits when we had some friends over for dinner. We just had eaten grilled steaks and garlic mashed potatoes, so a light refreshing berry dessert was perfect. And I think it’s fun when everyone gets their own individual dessert.  Raspberry Jello…

  • A LITTLE GIRL’S BIRTHDAY CAKE

    A LITTLE GIRL’S BIRTHDAY CAKE

    Last week my little girl turned two. For her birthday cake I used this delicious recipe, but instead of making it an ice cream cake, I added in a layer of homemade cream cheese frosting. I used edible gold sprinkles and decorated with some little woodland animals I got at Michael’s then spray painted gold. She loved…

  • BLACK BEAN + SWEET POTATO SLIDERS

    BLACK BEAN + SWEET POTATO SLIDERS

    My husband and I eat mostly vegetarian, so we are always trying new recipes that we AND our kids will like. One day I was looking around for some vegetable sandwich recipes and saw one that used sweet potatoes for the buns. I thought I would give it a try on our favorite black bean burgers.…
