Check out my party and the cake that stemmed from all this inspiration. My daughter is turning 5! I am seriously freaking out because I am so not ready for her to be a Kindergartener and being so stinking big. Sometimes it feels like she was just born but then I go through pictures and…
Are you wondering about my pie vents? I just had to write a little note because it made me smile to remember how my husband used to carve my name in my hot dogs when we were dating. So I carved my little note into the pie. Yesterday was my wonderful husband’s birthday and the kids…
Make IHOP style scrambled eggs at home by using a little bit of pancake batter for deliciously fluffy eggs. I mentioned Friday how I grew up going to IHOP a lot and whenever we make a big pancake breakfast I like to use IHOP’s trick of throwing some pancake batter into the scrambled egg mix….
Quiche is a great brunch item. You can make it up ahead of time or turn it into a make your own quiche bar. There are lots of dishes that are a great way to use up leftovers. I think almost every culture has come up with some way to use whatever thy have on…
I enjoy the nutty taste of quinoa and forever ago when I made that Triple Coconut Cake for my hubby’s birthday I had lots of leftover toasted coconut and a little bit of leftover coconut buttercream. So one morning I got a hankering for some coconuts and berries. So I threw together some cooked quinoa,…
This is a great substitute for Hawaiian Sweet Bread. I love Hawaiian sweet bread but it’s kinda pricey and I don’t always want to have to go to the store to buy it when the fancy strikes. I love my bread machine and use it often, especially when I want to do a Hawaiian plate…

My husband lived in Switzerland for 2 years and always talks about the food he misses from there which is really just the cheese. My husband is a cheese snob. If he had his druthers we would be eating those $25 per pound gourmet cheese every day. Thankfully he settles for something a bit more…
I served this pasta salad with the ribs I posted last week. My hubby digs on this salad and I love how versatile it is. I have made it with crab, tuna, shrimp, and just the plain ol’ pasta salad. They all have been awesome and they all taste slightly different depending on what kind…
We love cooking outside but it is something we have not done much of since we have moved out here to Georgia. There are a lot of bugs! Like outrageous amounts of bugs and when the weather is nice enough to be outside the bugs are out in full force. But this summer has been…
During the winter I did lots of baking, especially muffins so that we would have breakfast on hand to add variety to our morning meals. Man, or child, cannot live on cereal alone. During the summer though the thought of using my oven for extended periods of time just makes me way too hot. So…
I’ve mentioned before how I have lots of fond food memories growing up. This is another one of those meals that I have great memories of. We would make these as a family right at the dinner table. My mom would set up the deep fryer in the middle of our table and we would…
