Craving Disneyland It has now been more than three years since Garret and I stepped foot in the Magic Kingdom. Sad! We have some incredibly fond memories there and are always grateful for a chance to go hang out with Mickey. Anticipation! We have many great friends in our neighborhood. The Back family (yes, that’s [...]

This has been a busy, busy week at our house. February 10th through the 16th is always busy at our house. We have several celebrations beginning with Garret’s birthday on the 10th and ending with our anniversary on the 16th. Somewhere in there is Valentine’s Day, right? And the week often includes President’s Day which [...]

Last night I made Macaroni and Cheese and it turned out so perfect looking I just couldn’t resist taking a picture or two and sharing my recipe. Which is pretty basic, but simply divine. I love experimenting with different kinds of cheeses, but didn’t have much to work with last night. It still turned out [...]

Today is my youngest’s 20th birthday. Amalie is 20. No more teenagers. Weird. I don’t feel like the Mom of two adult children. Not that I mind. Aging has not yet bothered me. I figure as long as I keep telling myself I’m not old, I won’t ever get there. And every birthday I have [...]

Ahh! Breakfast in the winter months is so comforting! I love to make hot breakfasts, but don’t always have a lot of time. Not long ago, I shared my ‘quick’ recipe for Good Morning Oatmeal. Now I’d like to add Doughnut Drops. The original recipe for these came in a Pillsbury cookbook I got some [...]

It’s getting cold here in the mountains of Utah, which means it’s time for one of my favorite things – hot and hearty breakfasts. The only problem with this being, of course, that it’s hard to make the time for a good, home-cooked breakfast so we might not have them as often as we would [...]

Recently I had the most lovely day bottling tomatoes that I thought I would share the process with you. This is way more “Ode to Tomatoes” than “tutorial”, so please indulge me! There’s just something about that beautiful red fruit that I can’t resist. I am grateful to have the equipment and the knowledge to [...]

The last few weeks have been a deeply introspective time for me. I’m not sure why, but I have a hard time sharing my concerns and worries publicly. So I tend to just withdraw and stop writing. I guess first of all, I figure everyone has their own worries so why should I add mine [...]

Grilled Pizza by Cori Gillespie Ok, so I’m a couple of days late, but I’m ready for pizza! Homemade pizza is just one of the best things out there and much simpler than most people think. I can have a homemade pizza ready to cook in less than an hour. Considering call-in time and delivery [...]
