One of my favorite magazines of all time, is bake FROM SCRATCH.

Oh my heck . . . it’s loaded with the most beautiful, mouth watering pictures. If you can’t find inspiration and endless baking ideas after reading through it, then you must be dead!
It certainly inspires me to Get off my butt and BAKE.  It’s one of those magazines that you could never ever throw away. It feels like Christmas, when I open the mailbox and it’s arrived in all its glory.

The only other magazine that makes my heart race a bit is Magnolia. If I had to choose just one though . . . it’s hands down going to be the bake one. These feather light, delicious buttery rolls called my name!

Winter does give us a few perks. I believe that we don’t need to stress out quite as much, when it comes to our wardrobe.

1. We can just throw on a nice winter coat & a stylish pair of boots and we are set.

2. Toes don’t need to look perfect . . . nobody sees them.

3. Legs aren’t shaved quite as often, and we don’t seem to care.

Lastly . . . for me . . . the best perk of winter . . . a husband who is home earlier in the evening. Summer seems to kidnap him and forces him to work 16 hours a day. I have to be careful not to let myself sing the summer b-l-u-e-s. If you are or have been a farmers wife, then you can also relate to this feeling.

Dancing with a little pre- summer b-l-u-e-s . . . what should you do?

Make Orange rolls or Orange Coconut Pull-Apart Bread!

I love a good Peanut Butter Cookie. It has to be crisp around the edges, but have that melt in your mouth consistency. As I was thumbing through a Taste of Home Cookies cookbook, I spotted a Peanut Butter oatmeal cookie recipe. There wasn’t a pretty picture that swayed me to try this recipe, but rather a caption. The caption beside the recipe captured me!

Maybe you’ve noticed a little tweaking here and there. Sneak Peeks & Infinite scrolling are my favs. Perhaps one of my best childhood memories, was preparing a box of Betty Crocker Date Bars with my Mom. For years and years, it was my families favorite box dessert. As the date bars were baking, the smell was glorious and we could hardly wait until it came from the oven.

Lately, my mouth has been on the sore side.  I’ve spent more time in the dentist chair than in the kitchen. If you’ve ever had an implant, then you know what I’m talking about. Soon, it’s coming to an end, and I’m very happy about that. Oh the price of trying to look pretty. Trust […]

It’s hard to believe that Christmas is over. I haven’t tired of Christmas decor or the music that starts playing weeks in advance. Yesterday, I tried to force myself to take down the Christmas decor that is scattered throughout the house. Usually I’m quite eager to box it up, clean up and welcome the new year!
