Simple recipes for everyday families
For weeks Darby has been asking me what I want for my birthday. I have to tell you something…I LOVE everything about giving gifts. Figuring out what someone wants, going shopping, wrapping it up and then watching someone special open it up, is awesome! I however, am not a great gift receiver. I feel guilty […] Read more…
It is my birthday week and although part of me hates to admit it…one of my favorite {store bought} snacks is a Cosmic Brownie. I love the soft fudgy brownie with chocolate frosting and topped with colored miniature chips. They are delicious in the most sinful way! When I thought about what I wanted for […] Read more…

I am a sucker for the combination of sweet and salty, so these cute little babies are already a favorite. Plus, heart shaped food makes […] Read more…
Have you ever tried Mexican Hot Chocolate before? There are a lot of different versions but basically it is a spiced cocoa. Some recipes have the ever so slight but warming taste of cinnamon but there are others that use chilies for an extra kick. At our house there is a great divide between people […] Read more…
We are days away from the Super Bowl and I have to admit that although I am sad that my Darb’s Eagles didn’t make it this year. I am also a little excited to not have the pressure that last years game brought with it. No matter who you are the Super Bowl has something […] Read more…
