Snickers Hot Chocolate

At the beginning of last month, I began a series — 31 Days of Festive Fall Drinks. It is now the 2nd day of November, and if you look closely at my list, there are only 30 drinks on there. So, as a woman of my word, here is the last drink — a few days […]

Non Alcoholic Drinks — A Mimosa Recipe

During holidays and other fun events, we like to start our celebrating early around here. On Thanksgiving, and even Christmas, we have those big meals later in the day. But it calls for a little something in the morning, to kick the day off. And a nice little toast on the first day of the […]

Butterbeer

It’s true, Muggles. I’m a grown woman and a Harry Potter geek who’s thisclose to organizing a game of Quidditch in the field by my house like these people. My kids (the ones who are old enough) and I have read all the books…several times, actually. We planned to watch all the movies over the […]

Pumpkin Spice Lattes

October 10, 2013 By Laura Leave a Comment

Today was supposed to be the day I came up with a recipe for a Pumpkin Spice Latte. But as I looked around, I realized that it’s already been done. A lot. Honestly, I don’t think I have anything to add. So instead, I shall pass along a few different interpretations of the famous PSL. I’m […]

Today I’m offering up Pumpkin Pie Spice Mix — another spice mix to change up your standard hot chocolate or coffee. Or, yes, it could be used in one of the many make-your-own Pumpkin Spice Latte recipes out there.It’s got many of the same ingredients as the Gingerbread Spice Mix, but the measurements are different so […]

Tagalong Chocolate Chunk Cookies

February 6, 2013 By Laura 11 Comments

We are smack in the middle of Girl Scout cookie season around here…and I find myself surrounded by way more cookies than can possibly be good for me. And while Girl Scout cookies are quite tasty on their own, I wanted to try something new. I came up with this — a cookie within a […]

{Baby Stuff} Day 3: Crock-Pot Cranberry Chicken

October 4, 2012 By Laura 2 Comments

I loved getting meals after I had a baby. Those first few weeks, when I was more or less house-bound, seeing people from The Outside World who came over to talk and bring food…I’m pretty sure I cried at least once. If you’re thinking of bringing a meal to a new family, a few tips: 1.) […]

Egg Breakfast Recipes

When the kids are on vacation, we try to slow down around here. They no longer have to scarf down a box of cereal, hurry up, get ready, find their shoes, and get out of the house. We can relax. We can spend a little time making breakfast. We can make it special. Modern Mrs. […]

Baked Oatmeal Recipe

Can we talk breakfast for a minute? It’s my favorite. I could honestly, actually, live on nothing but breakfast foods all the long day every day forever. French toast. Pancakes. Cinnamon rolls. Eggs. All those lovely, glorious carbs and fatty things like bacon and…just…yum. I promise you, of all the food rules out there, the […]
