Food, Wine, Family. Fun!
Welcome to the March edition of Fill the Cookie Jar. This month's theme was Green / St. Patrick's Day. When I think of green and cookies, the first thing that comes to mind is mint! I was looking for a St. Patty's day cookie but everything was shamrocks and as you know, I'm still working… Continue reading Chocolate Mint Cookies #FilltheCookieJar
I know during these cold months, ice cream isn't the first thing that comes to mind to make...but sometimes it's nice to step outside of the box. My husband is a big fan of peanut butter cups and I happened to pick up a bag of the minis during my last trip to Target. They… Continue reading Peanut Butter Cup Ice Cream
We're recovering from a nor'easter that dumped almost 20 inches of snow on us. I'm sure everyone in the Northeast is over winter. It's been storm after storm this winter season and I'm throwing up the white flag and giving up. Let's hope this weekend's storm is the last one forecasted for this winter...otherwise we… Continue reading Hamburger Soup
The Secret Recipe Club is back! My group had a break in January and while it was nice, it wasn't good for my blogging. I've really slacked when it comes to making new recipes lately. Being stuck in the house because of cold and snowstorm after snowstorm, drives my motivation level down, down, down. This… Continue reading Honey Wheat Bread – The Secret Recipe Club
I was away over the weekend in Nashville for my business' leadership summit - it was an amazing time! I met so many great people, learned so much more about Rodan + Fields and ate some amazing food. I enjoyed the most delicious shrimp and grits one night for dinner.....amazing! I also picked up some nasty… Continue reading Rocky Road Ice Cream
Things have been pretty crazy around here especially coming off the rush of the holidays and trying to get back into the swing of things. Of course with the New Year, I'm trying to get us back to eating cleaner and working out again. It's been going ok, but I need to really focus after… Continue reading Chicken Stew with Butternut Squash, Quinoa and Black Beans
It's Fill the Cookie Jar time! This month's theme was Snowflake, Healthy or New Year. I struggled with this one as some of the cookie recipes I've recently made fit into the healthy category. I have yet to master a sugar cookie, so I knew snowflake was out and I wasn't sure what to do… Continue reading Cookie Dough Dip #FilltheCookieJar
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I took a little time off from blogging to spend with my family. 2013 was another big year of changes for us - we sold our first home and bought our forever home and I started a business. I'm hoping 2014 won't be full of changes and we'll… Continue reading Top 10 of 2013
I've had a cookie press for many years but have never attempted to use it. It's Pampered Chef, so I'm assuming it's one of the items I bought from having a party. I thought last weekend was the perfect opportunity since I signed up to make cookies for Cooper's daycare and wanted something with few… Continue reading Spritz Cookies
Cranberry and orange always remind me of the holidays and these muffins didn't disappoint! I made a few changes from the original recipe but they turned out perfect. Madeline loved them but Cooper wasn't too impressed with them - I'm thinking the tartness from the cranberries turned him off. I'm planning to use this same… Continue reading Cranberry Orange Muffins
