Thin Mint Milkshake Recipe

Ohhhhhh, yeahhhhh. It’s Girl Scout Cookie Time, people!

We’ll go out cookie selling in just a bit,” and then I’ll panic and buy […]

Chocolate Fondue Recipe

It’s tradition. Almost every year, on New Year’s Eve, we make this chocolate fondue recipe. And then the kids dig in and by the end, they’re covered in chocolate, the dining room is covered in chocolate, the dogs are covered in chocolate — fondue with children is not for the faint of heart. But it […]

September 3, 2014 By Laura 2 Comments

So I try not to divulge too much personal info on here about people who are not me. But I can’t help it — I need to share one teensy, but totally bizarre, bewildering, Very Weird Quirk of my husband’s. He’s not a cake guy. I know. I just…I can’t even…I don’t know…hmph. The kids and […]

Chocolate Cranberry Trail Mix Recipe

August 28, 2014 By Laura Leave a Comment

  I made this trail mix for our last (and first) campout of the season, last weekend. My husband and I used to be pretty good campers…and then we had kids and, as with many things, suddenly camping was a lot more work.

Simple, Delicious Stromboli Recipe

February 12, 2014 By Laura Leave a Comment

I originally published this stromboli recipe a year or so ago, but I figured since we’re halfway through the school year ya’ll might need a few ideas for school lunches. This one is great because you can make it on Sunday and have sandwiches for several days afterwards. You could even double up and freeze […]

Last weekend, my car looked like this: So we’re in the middle of Cookie Madness around here, and I’m looking for some ideas. I did publish my own Tagalong Chocolate Chunk Cookie recipe last year, but here are a few more. Then again, you can always eat them straight out of the box. And if […]
