Welcome fall with pumpkin spice French toast

Welcome fall with pumpkin spice French toast

I was compensated by Bays English Muffins for this post. All opinions are mine alone. I feel like our weekend family breakfasts are even more special in the Fall. This is a busy season for us. It seems like after the lull of summer, school starts off with a bang…and so do all the after-school […]

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 […]

Make Apple Cider Martinis For a Delicious Fall Cocktail

We’re a special drink family. Adults…kids…we all love celebrating events with sparkling cider or special drinks. The first snow (which we might actually be ready for…it’s been sweltering here lately) deserves some homemade hot cocoa (maybe even pumpkin spice hot chocolate? Yes. That.) So it’s no surprise that we have our fair share of cocktails and […]

Cooking with Kids – Making Musubi

Cooking with Kids – Making Musubi

Although we’re mostly a road-trip family, we took the vacation of a lifetime a few years earlier and went to Hawaii with my family. It was magical. And while my kids came back with a love for palm trees and surfing, they also came back with a new appreciation for musubi. You can pick it […]

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 […]

Delicious Chicken Taco Bowls For Your Family

Delicious Chicken Taco Bowls For Your Family

When my kids refuse to eat something, I’ve found it’s for one of two reasons. One is because it really, truly tastes horrible and disgusting to them. Then we do things like trying it different ways, or trying it several times over a long period to see if they’ll eat it. Sometimes this works, sometimes […]

How To Make Corn Broth

How To Make Corn Broth

Oooooh, I do love corn season. I am a cheap grocery shopper in general, but I’d mortgage my house to buy the first batch of corn each summer. This was one of the things I took for granted in California. We didn’t know we were spoiled with our produce until we came to Colorado where my […]

Delicious Cranberry Chocolate Protein Bites

I’ve been baking cookies since I was at least ten years old. I might have been even younger, but by the time I was ten, I was baking them on my own — nice, warm cookies for winter. Nice, warm cookies in the middle of summer. I love to bake, and I’ll do it anytime […]

Delicious Citrus Grilled Chicken and the Perfect Summer Meal

Delicious Citrus Grilled Chicken and the Perfect Summer Meal

I’m so excited that it’s finally getting nice out here. We love to grill, and there’s nothing better than sitting outside at the table, having a nice, leisurely dinner, and relaxing while the kids tear apart the backyard afterward. Actually, we love a good grilled meal year-round, and my husband has been known to fire […]

Vintage Saturday Brunch With Wright Hickory Smoked Bacon

This post is written by me on behalf of Tyson Foods, Inc. All opinions are entirely my own. We live in a pretty busy household. I don’t think we’re alone in this – everyone I talk to, especially this time of year, is running kids to sports or recitals or concerts. And that doesn’t even […]
