I have officially become domesticated. There have been little signs along the way that this transition was taking place, but I believe it is now official. When I bought my first hostess apron from Etsy, that was a sign. When Fly Lady and Recipezaar took over Entertainment websites on my list of favorites, that was…

Rich and Delicious
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the words “Rich and Delicious”? Well… yes, Dr McDreamy, my favorite Grey’s Anatomy surgeon is what comes to mind first with me too. OK…let’s try this again. Let’s add the word chocolate? Now what? Right… that would go well with Dr McDreamy too,…
Snickerdoodle Cookies
This snickerdoodle cookies recipe creates the softest, fluffiest cookies you’ll love! Have you ever heard a 3 year old say “Snickerdoodle”? Apparently, it is the funniest word in the English language because when I made Snickerdoodles today and mentioned the name of the cookie to Kelly, she went off in a fit of giggles. Then…
They say variety is the spice of life
This caramel apple tart is a much easier version of apple pie! I am so tired of making apple pies. My husband loves apple pie. Every weekend he always asks “are you making me an apple pie this weekend?” He’s even willing to do the daunting task of peeling and slicing the apples if I…
I’m a Pepper, You’re a Pepper….
If you love Dr Pepper, you’ll loves these cupcakes! Wouldn’t you like to be a pepper too? Remember that Dr Pepper commercial from the late 70’s, early 80’s? Quite the catchy little tune, wasn’t it?

It will be 4:00 in the afternoon and a commercial will come on the television for a restaurant. I watch, get hungry, and can’t get that restaurant out…
Lemon Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Lemon Pound Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting is a moist and sunny dessert! My son requested pumpkin muffins as his birthday treat to take to school this past Monday. I happily made the muffins but felt like they needed something added for a festive touch. I decided to whip up some Cream Cheese Frosting, but…

Is it really okay to eat Puppy Chow??
“Is it really okay to eat Puppy Chow?” This is a question my almost 5 year old son asks me anytime I make this delicious snack. He just can’t get over the fact that we are eating something named after dog food, and that looks like dog food too! I wish it bothered me more…
Chocolate-Dipped Shortbread Cookies
I am constantly making meals for people. Some people donate money, some people scour their house and pack up things to fling to Goodwill, some people volunteer their time, some people have charity auctions. I do those things as well, but what I find myself doing at least once on a weekly basis is cooking…
