Toasted Coconut & Almond Matzoh Candy (she: Anne)

ByAnne

Happy 2014 everyone…hopefully it is off to a great start! After the holidays are done and the new year is upon us, I usually find that I have accumulated a pantry full of baking ingredients, haphazardly thrown onto the shelves in my haste to get everything done in those last crazy weeks of December. Then in January comes the resolution to be organized. But all of those ingredients! What is a girl to do but keep on baking? Today I am sharing a concoction that came together because I was trying to use up some of those pantry items so that I can get down to organizing. Please tell me I am not the only crazy person that does that…?

Toasted coconut and almond, chocolate covered, salted caramel matzoh candy. That’s a mouthful.

Kale Chips ~ Healthy Snack that Kids Love!

ByMariel

Has anyone else noticed, besides my family, that I haven’t been cooking as much?? It’s true. I totally agree with your responses, when I asked… we need to get more recipes on the blog! Everyone suffers when I’m on a diet. Just teasin, but I’m pretty sure at least once a week my kids will say, ‘Mom, do you fit into your jeans YET?!?’ They’re itching for some pancakes! Sunday is my ‘free day,’ and my kids don’t want me to make some never-made-before blog recipe, they want their old favorites. But we’ll compromise, and I promise I’ll get you (and me) some new recipes! …ya just gotta wait until my free day. EXCEPT for this recipe, Kale Chips. I could eat this any day of the week. It’s healthy, delicious, and a great snack. Even better, I’m not kidding… kids love it.

25 Christmas Breakfast Ideas & ‘Your Great Idea’ Link Party

ByMariel

Every year for Christmas, we have my in-laws over for breakfast and present opening. It’s so fun to have grandparents join in on the fun and to share a yummy meal with us. It’s especially fun that we don’t have to leave our house. Yay! The kids get to play with their presents all morning. Mom and Dad get to recover from a long night. And, finally when evening comes, we head out to my family’s house for Christmas dinner. I love our set-up. Love it, love it, love it! Anyway, I get excited every year to plan a scrumptious, but not too time consuming, Christmas breakfast. In the past, I’ve done bread puddings, omelets, biscuits and gravy, and cinnamon rolls. I haven’t decided what to do this year, but I’m starting to think about it. So, today I have 25 Christmas Breakfast Ideas for you… hopefully, it will help us both out!

Peppermint Creme Brulee ~ The Perfect Christmas Dessert!

ByMariel

So, on our recent Disney Cruise (did you read about it?? If you ever want to go on one, check it out!) I became obsessed with Creme Brulee. I thought I wasn’t a fan of it. But oh, I was. I was. I just didn’t know it yet. I literally ordered Creme Brulee for dessert every single night!

When I got the assignment to do something ‘peppermint,’ I was having a hard time. I had already shared a favorite Peppermint White Chocolate Trifle, so… what to make, what to make. I called my mom, who is a cooking extraordinaire, and she suggested Peppermint Creme Brulee. It turned out awesome, if I do say so myself.

Tin Roof Sundae Pie (she: Jana)

ByJana

“We’re Thankful for Pie Night!” It’s okay to be thankful for pie, right? It makes everything in the world good, right? At least that’s what I tell myself!

We celebrate Pie Night on Thanksgiving Eve (Wednesday night) because, honestly after a big nice Thanksgiving dinner who has any room left for pie? This way we can have all the pie we want & then will still be hungry for Thanksgiving dinner the next day. Win, win I tell ya! We have every family invited bring their favorite pie & then we go to town. If we’re not with family for Thanksgiving we have a nice Pie Night at our home with our friends. Such a great tradition!!

Bonnie’s 4-Ingredient Soft Pretzels

ByMariel

So, I recently shared a recipe for Broccoli Cheese Soup and I promised that I would share the soft pretzel recipe that was in the picture. Today’s the day. I’ve already bragged about my sister-in-law, Bonnie, who is one of the many that supply me with delicious recipes, but this is another one of hers. (Other Bonnie recipes: Gingerbread Crumb Cake, Favorite Cinnamon Rolls, and Death by Special K) I first had these soft pretzels at a family gathering. She served them with a big pot of soup, and I had to have the recipe… along with everyone else. I love how there are only four ingredients and they’re all things I have on hand. Plus, the kids loved helping out on this one, shaping their own pretzel, painting on melted butter, salting…

Byruthie

Hi to all my friends at Or so she says… I’m so happy to back again to share another delightful recipe with you.

I love the fall because it’s pretty hard to beat a fresh-off-the-tree apple and of course I find lots of yummy ways to bake them up too!

This recipe has two of my favorite fruits— Apples and Banana’s. I love them both so combining them in a delicious and healthy loaf was a no brainer…

Tips for Starting a Dinner Exchange (she: Allison)

Byallison l.

Hello! It’s Allison from Tips for Family Trips. I’m straying from travel this month to share an idea that has made dinner easier for my busy family.

My family’s dinner will be delivered to our house tonight, and not by Pizza Hut. I participate in a dinner exchange with two other families where each of us cooks the same meal for all three families on one night each week. Wednesday is my night to cook. Friday is my family’s pizza night, and we often spend weekends traveling or with extended family. These days, I only cook on two nights each week.

Here are my tips for starting your own dinner exchange:
