My dad once said, “I would eat pizza everyday if I was allowed.” When I was growing up, my dad would occasionally make pizzas. And boy, were they the best! We would go to the local Italian market and buy our dough balls. Fast forward to my married life and…

When the going gets tough, I go for chocolate! Life has been overwhelming lately and I haven’t had much time to cook, let alone bake. I have had a Family Circle magazine sitting on my desk for months now because there are several chocolate recipes I want to try (Chocolate…

Last summer we went on our first extended family vacation. We started and ended in Denver, CO. I had seen this coffee shop, The Market on Giada DeLaurentiis’ show. She mentioned this cake saying they sold 80 slices a day but she ate something different. Now, I’m a chocolate person,…

Last summer we were all at Costco. Long story short…don’t take Dylan to Costco because you walk out with a whole lot more than you planned. We purchased a Vita Mix blender. The boys would tell anyone who would listen about this machine. My uncle wondered if they were the…

We could not start the official summer weekend (Memorial Day) without a BBQ, even if it was just our little family. I got this recipe from my aunt and it has become Dylan’s favorite baked bean recipe. We enjoy the four different types of beans, the bacon, and hamburger along…

Kogi BBQ has become my favorite food truck. It helps when they park less than one mile from my home a couple times per week. Kogi is a fusion of Korean BBQ and Mexican food. Although we’ve tried many items on their menu, I always have to get what they…

My mom, my friend, Stephanie and I all pass around magazines to share.  In a Family Circle magazine there was a whole section devoted to chocolate!  We all know how I feel about chocolate.  These bars are rich and sinfully good.  I enjoyed the crunchy graham cracker bottom, the gooey…

Homemade Taco Seasoning

Anyone who knows my youngest child knows that burritos are his favorite food.  Those taco or burrito seasoning packets are pricy, plus if you have ever looked at the ingredients, some of them you can’t even pronounce.  So about one year ago, I did some experimenting and came up with…

My husband does not get in the kitchen too often, but when he does watch out!  The kitchen looks like a tornado hit it but everything turns out delicious.  He made this salsa over the weekend and it was delicious.  I enjoyed the crunch and sweetness of the corn, the…

Orange Marmalade

Dylan and I have made different types of jams over the years.  I’m wondering why I never thought to try orange marmalade with my parents’ Washington Navel Oranges.  They are seedless, easy-peeling fruits and fresh-picked navel oranges have ten times the flavor of anything you can find at the local…
