Saltine Cracker Toffee

October 5, 2012

I am a little obsessed with sweet and salty combinations. I blame Gal in the Middle for my love of this saltine cracker toffee. I can remember in college running through McDonald’s for fries and Wendy’s for a frosty and eating the frosty with the fries when I had been through an exceptionally long day. [...]

Holiday Hangover

January 19, 2012

I love Christmas. The decorations. The music at church. The lazy days. The non-stop food. The lack of schedule. The new toys. The reflecting on just how much we are blessed. But, Christmas is over. It is time to move on. But, my tree is still up. OK, both of them. Who am I kidding? [...]

Blondies & Buckeye Bars

I love these bars. Let’s talk about the Best Blondies first. You start by creaming together two sticks of melted butter and [...]

Operation Christmas Child

November 14, 2011

I am starting to get some anxiety about how close the holidays are to us. At church we are currently doing the Advent Conspiracy sermon series. It has been eye opening to me. The fastest growing religion is one we all have been caught up in…you know…”Radical Consumerism.” I continue to think about how do [...]

Last Minute Christmas Treats: Oreo Balls

December 22, 2010

If you have never had these, you are going to curse my name for introducing you to them. These things are so easy and so sinful. There really should be a law against them. I had them at a recent Christmas get-together and ate about 84 of them. Luckily a pregnant friend was there, so I felt [...]

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

December 1, 2010

I love decorating for Christmas. I love the glow of twinkling lights everywhere. And even though those who know me best know I am the complete opposite of particular about my surroundings, I love a balanced neatly decorated tree. But I have a three and five year old. They put 42 ornaments on a single branch. So, [...]
