This past week has been a difficult one for our family. Joel’s grandpa, Glenn, passed away on Thursday. We spent the last few days together with family celebrating Grandpa Great’s life. He was a man in love with his family and his country. He always made me feel like his own, always giving me a

Pioneer Woman’s French Silk Pie
Guess what I did on Monday!?! I met Ree Drummond, The Pioneer Woman! She came to my hometown for her book tour so my friend Molly and I jumped on the chance to meet her and have our cookbooks signed! We waited for almost 5 1/2 hours but we finally got to meet her and she
Halloween Triple Chocolate Pudding Cookies
I have one last easy, delicious Halloween treat to share with you all today. Noah and I had a blast whipping these Halloween Triple Chocolate Pudding Cookies up and it was so nice to spend time with just him since things have been a little hectic since Hannah has arrived.

Frosted Zucchini Brownies {Gluten and Lactose Free}
My zucchini supply is finally starting to wind down, thank goodness. As much as I normally like zucchini, I will be happy to not see it for awhile. I had picked the last few right before we were heading out for Kansas City to visit our new nephew and see the Royals play the Red Sox and

Chocolate Chip Cookie Granola Squares
We are heading to Fargo on Friday to visit our old stomping grounds and I’m really excited! It’s been 5 months since we moved and although I’m finally starting to feel at home here, I still really miss our first home. And I’m totally ready to eat some delicious food including pizza, burgers and doughnuts….I
Double Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Ice Cream
So, I don’t want to jinx things but it seems like maybe, just maybe, spring weather is finally arriving around here (despite the fact that it snowed a bit earlier this week). It’s been in the sixties the past few days and forecasted for the 70s next week. Can’t complain about that! Hopefully, it just stays
