Our theme for Girls Camp this year is the Disney movie, “Up” and last night we had our camp kickoff so I thought it would be fun to do a bunch of multicolored cake pops to look like all the balloons on the house but how do you display and serve that many cake pops? … Continue reading
Delicious dinner last night courtesy of “The Pioneer Woman”, Ree Drummond. I’m leaving Sunday for 5 weeks so I thought I’d better get in some cooking for the boys (that would be my husband Bob and son Zach) before I leave. I’m going to Sicily and London for work so no cooking or baking for … Continue reading

My mom and dad arrived yesterday so I made them some food knowing that it might be the only time I have to do that while they are here. I made them “Slow Cooker Italian Spaghetti Sauce”, … Continue reading
And the other treat from our St Patrick’s Day party, Leprechaun Crunch or Leprechaun Bark, whichever you prefer. Found this recipe on a website called “Business 2 Community”. I only had a small taste of this but it was delicious. I took the recipe from the website as a starting point but then changed it … Continue reading
Had a fun activity night last night with my girls from church. We got a jump on St Patrick’s Day by decorating some wood blocks (see picture) and by eating some St Pat’s themed treats.
