My little brother has been serving a mission for our church for the last two years and he comes home today! So I’m in Colorado to greet him at the airport with my parents and then spending the rest of the week with my family and little brother (who’s actually not so little any more)….

Easy Baked Biscuit Donuts
We seriously live right across the street from a grocery store. Right across the street. Do you know how many times I go to this store in a week? I really shouldn’t say, and Brett really doesn’t need to know. But do you know what it’s like living across the street from a grocery…
Pineapple Cake
Today is my handsome husband’s birthday. Or his “Happy Day” as Owen’s been calling it. It’s the big 28 for him. He’s getting sooo old;) We started the birthday celebration over the weekend and I’ve already eaten so much cake I’m not sure I can handle one more bite. But since today is…
Gooey Chocolate Butter Cookies
Let me tell you about my two year old. The kid thinks he’s Spiderman. He’s out to get every bad guy and every monster out there, and I get to be his side kick. But he just doesn’t understand why his “webs no work???” Yesterday at the grocery store, I found several additional items…
Chocolate Chip Zucchini Brownies with Homemade Chocolate Whipped Cream
Some of our best friends just moved away to Michigan. They are like family to us and I swear Owen would live with them if he could {at least for a few days}. We helped them load their stuff into the moving truck the night before they left and when it was time so say…
Banana Bars
You know what makes these banana bars absolutely amazing? Two things. 1) Greek Yogurt and 2) Melt-in-your-mouth Cream Cheese Frosting. Yeah, I said Greek Yogurt. It’s the secret ingredient. The yogurt makes these bars moist and dense, and almost creamy. Just like the addition of sour cream…
Peach Cream Cake
This cake is one of Brett’s childhood favorites. Apparently just one bite brings a flood of his summer childhood memories back. He wanted me to make it for our 4th of July BBQ but I told him it wasn’t festive enough. He was so offended. “What’s more American than peaches and cream?” he asked. I just…

10 things in 10 Years & Chocolate Oreo Cookie Cake
Over the weekend we drove eight hours to Colorado (oh wait it was more like 12 with a toddler and a newborn) to attend my 10 year high school reunion. It was fun to see old friends and reminisce on our care-free, responsibility-free days of high school. I’ve been thinking about all that has…
Popcorn S’mores
I have some of the best friends and neighbors who have been bringing us meals for the last two weeks! I couldn’t appreciate it more since I haven’t had the time, the energy, or the desire to even think about making dinner. However, I’ve had no problem finding the time, mustering up the…
