Gingerbread Granola {Christmas Tray 2012}
As you can tell, I kind of have a thing for granola (and I have passed it on to Noah). We got addicted to all of Trader Joe’s granola but since we never had a TJ’s in town (until now) I always liked to make it homemade to snack on. We like it plain, vanilla flavored and especially
Creamy Cheesy Potatoes
Life has been hectic around here but good. We painted rooms this past weekend. I should post before and after pictures….Noah’s room used to be camouflage sponge painted…NOT.GOOD.

Drunken Chocolate Cherries
Joel has always loved chocolate covered cherries at the holidays so instead of buying them this year, I went on the hunt for a fun homemade recipe. I have never made chocolate cherries before and when I came across this recipe I knew they would be a simple and yummy little addition to my
Pretzel M&M Rings
I’ve said this time and time again…who doesn’t love a sweet and salty snack? This is the perfect little snack to have around for the holidays. They are so simple to put together and only require 3 ingredients. The thing that takes the longest is unwrapping all the chocolate kisses. After Noah had gone to bed,
