Easter Nest Cupcakes

I decided that I needed a food project yesterday and lucky for me the Young Women and Young Men were meeting together today at church for a lesson so I decided to get a jump on some Easter baking and make some cupcakes for them.  I had this idea rattling around in my head for … Continue reading

Chocolate Crunch Brownies

These were definitely the preferred treat last night at the youth activity, I can always tell by how many are leftover and there weren’t many of these left to take home which is just as well.  The recipe comes from “Food.com” and again is pretty easy to make but absolutely yummy to eat (my favorite … Continue reading

Brownie Krispies

Last night I was in charge of the combined Wednesday night activity for the Young Women and Young Men at church.  We played Human Battleship which was pretty fun and of course, there had to be treats so I made several different kinds of Rice Krispie treats including these delicious (and easy!) morsels which come … Continue reading

Veggie Soup with Pasta

On Saturday Bob and I went and did some heavy grocery shopping at Costco (no food in the house after I’ve been at work for 5 weeks!).  We ended up with tons of veggies and I was thinking how awesome some vegetable soup would be so on Sunday I just started throwing things in the … Continue reading

Valentine Candy Heart Mini Cakes

I wanted to make the Young Women at church a Valentine treat so I was wandering around Michaels as I sometimes do when I found this adorable pan in their Valentine display: They call it the “Wilton 20 Cavity Mini Heart Dessert Shell Pan”, rolls right off the tongue, doesn’t it?  I couldn’t resist it … Continue reading

Pasta E Fagioli Soup

It’s been rainy and cold here so this hearty and filling soup was just the ticket yesterday for dinner.  It comes from a blog called “Stick a Fork in it” and it fit my 3 criteria for a good recipe, easy, fast and delicious! 1 pound hamburger 1 small onion, chopped 1 large carrot, sliced … Continue reading

Red Velvet Treat Pops

I was so excited when I found these Wilton treat pop containers on the after Christmas clearance rack at ShopKo for 50% off!  I’d been wanting some so I could experiment with making treat pops but didn’t want to pay full price.  Last night our group was in charge of the activity for Young Women … Continue reading

Taco Joe Nachos

I decided to do nachos and quesadillas for the Super Bowl Party, along with all the dips and dipables that were leftover from the neighborhood party on Friday so there was a lot of food!  I was going to make nachos from a different recipe but then I thought why not just use the Taco … Continue reading

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

Finally have a minute to post some Super Bowl food from our Super Bowl party.  I made these brownies for my son in law Jaren who loves Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and football.  This is the only one that ended up looking somewhat like a football as they were just too gooey to cut out, … Continue reading

Cinnamon Apple Cupcakes

And, finally, the last recipe from the neighborhood party last night, one last cupcake recipe.  This one comes from the inside of the Duncan Hines cake mix box but you can find it here at “Duncan Hines”.  I haven’t tried one of these and probably won’t, I will always choose chocolate over any other type … Continue reading
