Chocolate Oatmeal No Bake Cookies
Who doesn’t love cookies, and who doesn’t love cookies that you do not have to bake, right? If that is the case, these are the cookies you might be looking for. I grew up with these and recall my Dad making them for us. They might have been the only dessert that my Dad ever […]
Lemon Bars
My daughter loves cooking with me, and let’s just say the feeling is mutual, as I really love cooking with her. She has this amazing energy and drive that when she proposes that we cook together, or bake in her case, I simply cannot refuse. One evening she came over by me, sat in my […]
Apple Turnovers
Well, I still have not been able to make an apple pie with all of the apples we recently acquired from our apple picking a couple of weeks ago. Yes, even after every kid gets their daily apple for lunch, we are still left with plenty of more apples. As I thought of making another […]
Apple Crisp
Last week we decided to go on our annual apple picking adventure. We typically go later in mid-to-late October, but this year we thought we would get a jump start and be able to chose from a wider selection of apples. It was a gorgeous afternoon so we invited grandma and grandpa out for the […]
Homemade Snow Cone Syrup
The start of summer in Wisconsin has been off to a slow start in terms of really hot temperatures. Don’t get me wrong, I am not complaining. I would much rather have a 78 degree day over a 94 degree day, any time of the year. The perfect temperatures have not stopped my kids from […]
Chocolate Chip and Peanut Butter Ice Cream
It’s ice cream making season in my house, well, at least for me that is. I noticed the ice cream freezer bowl the other day and instantly began thinking of new recipes that I thought my kids would love. I’ve made about a dozen different ice cream creations over the past couple of years, and […]
Blueberry Agua Fresca
I’ve been making a combination of fruit and vegetable smoothies after my morning workout now for around six months. I love the smoothies, especially after a workout. My combination is very simple. A banana, about a cup of frozen blueberries, coconut water, a bit of plain Greek yogurt, a bit of milk, and juice with […]
Baked French Toast with Bacon Crumble
Personally I am not a big fan of sweets for breakfast, and well, sweets in general, but my kids are. If you put anything sweet in front of my kids however, well, that is a different story, and as the great parent that I am, I decided to make them some baked french toast. Now […]
Homemade Granola
Since the beginning of the new year, I have been cooking up a storm. I suppose that is not too unusual as I am the one primarily whipping things up, or planning ahead for the busy work week. As any parent, we all know that when you walk through the door, you pretty much have noisy […]
Red Elephant Chocolate
This week I was fortunate to receive a sample of Red Elephant Chocolate. Red Elephant Chocolate? I thought the same thing when I heard the name, and as I am anxious to find out how this company came about their name, I am equally as excited to try all of their products. I normally do not write […]
Grape Pie
I will be the first to admit that I do not make nearly as many desserts for my kids. I don’t know why, but I probably lean on towards the fact that I personally do not need, nor like too many desserts. Selfish, I know. I often think of making sweets for them though. In […]
Frozen Grapes
The weather has been hotter than hell in Wisconsin these past couple of weeks. After a nice long stay in San Diego, we came back to record breaking temperatures in Milwaukee. People supposedly even died from the heat. Yes, when I said hotter than hell, I meant it. When it comes to this type of […]
Cinnamon and Sugar Tortillas
For the past couple of months, I have been making these little tortilla cups (breakfast, snack), and let me just say how much I love them. They are really fun to make, and even better, more fun to eat. Whenever I am making them using flour tortillas, I am left with some scraps from the […]
The Hangover Breakfast Sandwich
Sure, I could have labeled this sandwich in many ways, but I decided to call it the hangover. Surely I was not hungover when I made it, but while thinking of the recipe and after eating it, well, I thought it would be the cure all to energize the brain, body, and tastebuds after a […]
Perfect Blueberry Muffins
Let me start by saying, I love cooking with my kids. However, with that said, there are not a whole lot of times during the weekday that I can present that opportunity due to busy schedules. Furthermore, I ‘think’ the last thing that is on their mind when they get home from school is a […]
Pumpkin Muffins
Years ago, there was a restaurant in my neighborhood called The Atlanta Bread Company. I am fairly certain it is a chain restaurant where it focuses on pastries, coffee, sandwiches, and soups. When the restaurant first opened, I ordered food from there on several occasions,and as it was fairly decent in the first months of opening, […]
Crostini with Brie and Cranberry Chutney
Sometimes we just run out of time throughout the day. Am I correct? What sometimes can get even more crazy is when we are invited to a party and need to bring a dish. Whether it be an appetizer, side dish, or main course, we are always pinched for time, and the last thing we […]
Pecan Pie Ice Cream
The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker could have been one of the best purchases I have made in some time, especially during this time of year. Not only does this device not take up a whole lot of room, but it is also really simple to clean, and furthermore, with only a few simple ingredients, you […]
Smores Ice Cream
It’s finally summer time in Wisconsin, and if there is one thing I really like to do to relax with the kids after a long week of work it is to make a fire in my backyard on an early Sunday evening. Lately it has just been the thing to do, and we all seem […]
Cherry Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate
Summer time is finally here in Wisconsin. well, I guess you could say that, but it also might be up for argument, as we have only seen a day or two with temperatures above eighty degrees. The weather has actually be a bit ridiculous, but that has not stopped me from making some summer time […]
