The Most Delicious Candy Cane Hot Chocolate Recipe You’ll Ever Try

**I first shared this post almost 3 years ago, but I wanted to share it at the beginning of the holiday season this year so you can get a jump on your cocoa-drinking** We still have a ton of candy canes around here. The kids got a bunch at every party and concert and in the […]

This banana nutella milkshake recipe makes the perfect summer treat

We’re milkshake maniacs around here. We do plenty of healthy smoothies for snacks and breakfast, but let’s face it. Summer deserves some bona fide, ice-creamy milkshakes. We’ve even been known to make them for birthdays (my husband’s not much of a cake guy). My kids love making milkshakes (and messes) so much that my brother and […]

Try this peach lemonade recipe for a refreshing twist

It’s been warm here. Ok. Hot. It’s been hot here. At least…hot by Colorado standards. Anytime it gets above 85° here, my children start wailing about how they’re melting. I shudder to imagine them transplanted somewhere like Nevada…they’d think they were dying. 🙄 So along with playing in the hose and finding splash parks and fielding […]

A Chai Latte Recipe so You Can Make Your Own at Home

Chai lattes happening up in here! Like, CONSTANTLY. Despite the desperate pleas of my children, usually they have to WALK HOME from school because I refuse to pick them up because when I was their age I walked home uphill both ways carting a French horn of all things and why are they so complainy about all […]

Delicious Irish Cream Bundt Cake Recipe

I love a good bundt. They’re so cool looking. I really want one of those fancy bundt cake pans that look like a castle or a bunch of flowers or something, but for now I must settle for my plain ol’ bundt. Doesn’t matter, though. Plain bundts are just as tasty. And I do believe […]

Delicious Instant Pot Recipes: Chocolate Oatmeal

I held out on buying an Instant Pot for a long time. We have a lot of kitchen appliances. My husband is obsessed with weird ones from the 1960s that he finds at thrift stores (kebob turner, anyone? Space-age salad spinner that comes with its own pedestal? Please? Take that and I’ll throw in the […]

21 Deliciously Tasty, Easy Soup Recipes

It’s soup week at our house. Everyone went back to school this week, after a long (looooong) winter break…and every single club or sport or whatever decided they needed to meet right now since no one’s been doing anything for two weeks. Also, Girl Scout cookie season is fast approaching which means lots of meetings and […]

Stovetop Spiced Apple Cider Recipe

Oh, goodness, I do love apple cider. It’s just so…fallish. And winterish. And when you make it on the stove it makes your entire house smell HEAVENLY, it really does. In a house where people still argue with me over showering and try to re-wear dirty clothes, good smells are not taken for granted. So […]

Crock Pot Recipes — Slow Cooker Soups and Chilis To Warm Up Your Insides

I don’t wanna brag or anything, but it’s been unseasonably warm here. Like, wearing shorts in February kind of warm. This is crazy and unusual and we do not take it for granted. And if there’s one thing we know about Colorado, we know that this doesn’t mean winter’s over. There’s still a good chance […]
