Balancing the Good Things in Life
Lemon is one of my favorite flavors for desserts. There is just something about the sour and sweet combination that is pleasing to my palette. As a matter of fact, my mouth is watering as I’m typing and thinking about this Lemon Oreo Cheesecake! The Lemon Oreos used in this recipe may be hard to […]
These White Chocolate Peanut Butter Easter Egg Nests are a quick, easy, no-bake cookie you can whip up in minutes. They are a great spring treat to serve around Easter. And just look at them! They are adorable! This recipe was created when I wanted to make traditional haystacks (made with butterscotch chips), but I didn’t […]
I’ve been experimenting with my Cake Mix Cookie recipe and wanted to create a pretty green cookie for St. Patrick’s Day and Easter. Don’t these green cookies just scream, “Springtime!” I wanted something different than the mint chocolate chip flavor that seems to dominate this time of year. Key Lime has always been a favorite of […]
If you have a bit of a sweet tooth and love wine, then sangria is the beverage for you! I like making a batch of this a couple of days before we’re having friends over for a game night or cookout. I have several sangria recipes for different occasions, but this Pink Moscato Sangria is perfect […]

I’m going to be honest with you up front about these mashed potatoes. There is nothing healthy or low-calorie about them. This is not a make-all-the-time-for-dinner kind of side dish. These Really Good Really Easy Crock Pot Mashed Potatoes are for special occasions. I usually make them about 3 times per year: Easter, Thanksgiving and […]
I love creating printable artwork to display in our home. It’s a simple, inexpensive way to keep the decor fresh, and it’s takes only minutes to update and change with the seasons. This week I am putting away our spring decorations that are specific to Easter and replacing them with more general spring decor. I created a free […]
At the beginning of each new season it it SO tempting to go shopping and pick up shiny, new, pretty things to decorate my home. They are everywhere! Big box stores, craft stores, home improvement stores and even the grocery stores all have beautiful things out on display. This year think about taking a different approach. […]
Here’s an easy dessert that makes such a pretty presentation. Consider it an updated version of the classic favorite Pineapple Upside Down Cake. They are great served warm out of the oven or you can make them ahead and chill them before serving. Your family (or guests) will think you spent hours preparing them, but […]

This week I am bringing out all of our Easter decorations, so I decided to make a couple of new Easter printables for our […]
