Honey Chipotle Almonds

Honey Chipotle Almonds

These are quite possibly my favorite way to eat almonds. The problem is, I can’t make these very often because I can’t. stop. eating them when they are around. People LOVE these…I take these to events when I am too busy (lazy) to make something 

Halloween Cream Cheese Mints

Halloween Cream Cheese Mints

I always make these Cream Cheese Mints for Christmas because they are super easy and tasty. But last month I found a 4 section bottle of sprinkles at Marshall’s with black, orange, red, and green!  It covered both Halloween and Christmas so I was all

Gluten Free Sugar Cookie Mix and Buttercream Frosting Recipe

I have a new favorite gluten-free sugar cookie mix that I picked up at Marshall’s a month or so ago! When I bought the Pure Pantry Sugar Cookie Mix, I didn’t really have a plan (or much hope) for them, but I decided to make

I’m very excited for our first Halloween and trick-or-treating in our new house since I’ve never had trick-or-treaters before.  I’ve made and bought a few decorations and our friend gave us a big tub of decorations that they no longer use. Awhile back I pinned

Easter Meal 2011

Easter Meal 2011

For the last few years, we’ve stayed home on Easter. Traffic on Sunday night is so terrible (especially coming from my parent’s in NE Ohio). The first year we did this, we went to Betty’s for Easter lunch/dinner because they had adorable peep martinis. Last 

Corned Beef and Coleslaw

Corned Beef and Coleslaw

I was busy lazy before St. Patrick’s Day weekend, so didn’t get the corned beef made until the next week.  I didn’t know that I liked corned beef until we went to Skillet and I had corned beef hash.  I didn’t even know what it
