I finally got my picture with the Pioneer Woman… from when my DIL and I went to the Roots Tech Conference back on Feb. 2nd! I guess that it is better late than never, right? But really, how long should it take to email a picture? If you missed my post on meeting P-Dub aka Pioneer Woman you can read about it here.
Here is my proof that I really got to meet her! She is so cute and fun and bubbly and it really was a thrill for me to get to visit with her for a few minutes.
We had our March Birthday dinner yesterday and I was assigned to make dessert so this is what I came up with!
This might be a new favorite now!
I made these lemon cookies for our Sunday dinner yesterday and they were so refreshing with the lemon juice and the lemon zest! Perfect to welcome in springtime, don’t you think?
I decided today that I would do a fun Valentines roundup from some of my past posts. These are my top Valentines posts that have been viewed and pinned the most…so take a look to see if there are any that you might have missed! You can just click on the link to find out more about each of these ideas!
To start off this round-up let’s begin with this yummy dessert!
Okay, does anyone out there need a fast, easy, tasty, treat for the Super Bowl? Or perhaps you need a fun treat for your next party, get together or just to indulge yourself? This treat is perfect for all those occasions. It is great for guys, girls and kids…so that pretty much includes everyone! I could even go so far as to say that this is a “healthy” snack because dark chocolate is good for you, right?!
It was my husband’s birthday last week. He and I went up to the cabin last weekend, he loves to go up there and that is what he wanted to do for his birthday! It was so beautiful up there and there was NO INVERSION…so I felt like I could breathe again! It was wonderful to look out the windows and see for miles and miles! The sun was out and it was gorgeous!
I made these cupcakes for him for our Sunday dinner with the family and I think that everyone liked them, so that means they get to stay on our recipe lists. :)
I must really have Valentines on the brain this week, because this is the 4th Valentines post this week!
There must be love in the air here!
Today I have these yummy M&M’s Valentine cookies. This recipe has been in our family for a long time. The name of these cookies on my recipe card is: “Leora’s Chocolate Chip Cookies” This is a nickname that I have had for my sister for a long time, I don’t really even remember where it came from, but I remember saying “Leora” in a mocking tone every time I called her that! Some things just never go away, do they?
Anyway, here is my version of these yummy cookies:
Today I have a super easy recipe for you that is perfect for any of your fall gatherings!
This would be a great one to make for Thanksgiving day, as an appetizer while everyone is waiting around for the turkey to get done! Or it would be a great treat to watch during all of those football games that go on all day long! Like I said, it is super easy to make and only has 4 ingredients, so the kids could even help with this recipe and give you more time on the important things, like reading all those black Friday ads! :)
