When I was pregnant with both of my kids I could not get enough bagels in the first few months. I kept our local bagels shop in business for the first 3 months of my pregnancies. Every day for dinner I'd have to have a turkey sandwich on an oatmeal bagel. I also remember practically running back to the car after buying a bag of bagels - not even being able to wait to get home to rip open the bag … [Read more...]

Chocolate Coconut Bars
Sorry I've been MIA lately. I've been catching up on a few things - trying to get organized and such. It seems the more I sort through and organize, the more I find to do. Oh well. Yesterday I cleaned the house from top to bottom and mid-way through decided to sort through the kids' toys.

When I think of my Grandma, I think of … [Read more...]

I was really … [Read more...]

After writing the post on Orange Julius, I referred to my Aunt Velma and what a wonderful lady she was. It got me thinking of the other special ladies in my life. Growing up, I had the best female role models in my life. - all of which I was related to. I decided to write a post on each of them with a recipe that they have either handed down, are famous for, or that just reminds me of them. My … [Read more...]

I've made Savory Chocolate Crackers, Jalapeno Cheese Bites, Green Olive Cheeseball, Gluten Free Apple Cheddar Scones, Herbed Baked Eggs, Brown Butter Pumpkin Bread and … [Read more...]
