We’ve been needing a little magic lately, so I pulled out a bag of unicorn chips that I’ve been saving for a special occasion. Tollhouse came out with these fun vanilla chips a while back, and while I didn’t know what I would use them for, I knew my daughter would love them! You may… Continue reading Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip “Unicorn” Cookies

Chocolate Cream Pie
Is it just me, or are we baking more during this quarantine? I’ve found myself craving sweets more often, and I’m constantly seeing pictures of cookies and banana bread on Facebook! (Speaking of cookies, DoubleTree shared their secret recipe online recently, and it is delicious. I used dark chocolate chips since I can’t seem to… Continue reading Chocolate Cream Pie
Deviled Eggs
Happy Easter! This year, Easter looked a bit different for us, as we stayed in and watched church on our TV. We did not have the typical Easter dinner, but instead did orange chicken and rice. But our house was filled with joy, as our daughter did egg hunts over and over (with empty eggs… Continue reading Deviled Eggs

Tomorrow we… Continue reading Peanut Butter Buttercream Frosting
Grandma’s Peanut Butter Blossoms
Lexi and I have been up since a little after 4:30 this morning, and she refused to take a nap, so we needed something to do this afternoon.

The year is already flying by, and we’ve found ourselves busier, running from activity to activity. I’m still baking and cooking a lot, but don’t seem to find the time to sit down and write!

Whole 30 – A good experience!
This is a little late, but I wanted to sum up our whole 30 adventure! We really enjoyed it. It was eye opening seeing how sugar is in almost everything you can buy. It was fun trying out new recipes, and they actually were pretty filling. We definitely ate a lot more protein and vegetables,… Continue reading Whole 30 – A good experience!
