Day 296: Cadbury Creme Egg Cookies
I've spent the better half of the afternoon in my kitchen making food for tomorrow's Easter lunch. I'd forgotten how tedious it is to wash, peel, chop and mash 5 pounds of potatoes! But the twice baked potato casserole I made should be worth it. Hopefully! The recipe looked … [Read more...]
Day 294: Pillsbury Jelly Bean Cookie Cups
For Spring Break, I have instituted several "no electronics" time zones throughout the day. For an hour at a time, everything goes off and the boys have to do chores, play together, go outside, etc. For Bryce, this can be very hard, but he has been surprisingly accepting of it … [Read more...]
Day 292: Easter Bark
I'm getting so close to 300! There are some weeks that I have to go digging for something to blog about and then there are other times when I have a list of things waiting to share! I made this Easter Bark for a class activity on Saturday and it was a hit (well, at least with … [Read more...]
Day 287: Pink Lemonade Pound Cake
Since Easter is just around the corner, I thought I would share something that I made last year for Easter dessert. It was so fresh and tart and screamed "spring"! And because of the lemonade concentrate you use, it stays amazingly moist and delicious. My only problem was that … [Read more...]

Day 263: Dirt Cake
This recipe is nothing new. I guess you could say it's as old as dirt. Bwahahaha!!! :D I know, that was terrible. Anyway, this is my husband's favorite dessert, even though he is a full grown man :) He requests it for his birthday every year, and now he's got the boys asking … [Read more...]
Day 249: Bisquick Cookies-YUCK
Turns out, you CAN mess up a chocolate chip cookie. I didn't think it could be done, since I've rarely met a cookie I don't like, but actually, it can. Do not, I repeat, do not try making cookies with Bisquick. Unless you like dry, tasteless lumps for dessert. Then, by all … [Read more...]

Day 229: Berry Bliss
When I pinned this, I wasn't even sure what board to pin it to. (I know, I just ended that sentence with a preposition, but rewording it to say "upon which board to pin it" just sounds pretentious. Anyway, is it a side dish? A dessert? A snack? I did end up putting it on my … [Read more...]
Day 222: Soft, Fluffy, Chocolate Chip Cookies
Is there such a thing as a bad chocolate chip cookie? If so, I've never had one. I LOVE homemade chocolate chip cookies. I love cookies in general, but chocolate chip cookies are in a category all their own. I've made this recipe a few times, and it's always good. It's also … [Read more...]
