Halloween Spider Web Snacks
Lately Owen’s favorite song is The Incy Wincy Spider. He loves to make his little fingers crawl up the water spout like a spider. It is sooo cute. And I guess it’s fitting to sing a song about spiders around Halloween. I don’t think he’s ever even seen a real spider, but he…
Fourth of July Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Pops
What are you guys doing to celebrate the 4th of July? We usually spend it in Denver with my husband’s family, go boating with their friends, hit up Water World (the best water park ever), and of course, enjoy fireworks. This year though, we are heading up to a friends house in Huntsville, Utah. …
Baked Honey-Lime Chicken Taquitos
Having a Cinco De Mayo party? These honey-lime baked chicken taquitos are sure to be a hit. Serve them as an appetizer or even the main dish. The honey-lime sauce used to marinate the chicken gives these babies a bit of sweet and savory in every bite. Brett gave his usual “nod of approval”…

There was hardly a minute of down-time during their visit so Sheri ended up making these late Friday…

Seven Days of Sweets for your Sweetheart Day 5: Peanut Butter Cream Filled Cookie Cups
If you know me, you know Valentine’s Day just wouldn’t be complete without a peanut buttery treat. I kind of have a thing for peanut butter. In fact, my husband used to call me the Peanut Butter Princess when were dating. My ability to pound a bag of Peanut Butter M&M’s all by myself and…
