Peppermint White Chocolate Cheesecakes - Individual


Pin It 

I made these last year for the holidays and they are amazing!

This year I'm ACTUALLY going to try and get a head start on holiday baking recipes so I'll be posting them through the next two months along with Fall recipes.

I'm a sucker for cheesecake.

It has to be one of my favorite desserts, but who wants to take hours of quiet time and water baths to get a delicious cheesecake?  Not me!

Breakfast Fried Rice Bowl

Pin It

Everyone needs a few no fail easy breakfasts in their repertoire.

Lately we've become very big on breakfast which is great because it just so happens to be the most important meal of the day too.

I have always said to the kids "you wouldn't get in your car and drive it without gas, so why don't you put fuel (breakfast) in your body when you're getting ready for a full day.

Most days we're all about cereal or peanut butter toast but I've been on a kick lately to make what I like to call Breakfast Fried Rice bowl with a Poached Egg on top.

It is filling and easy to make and everyone likes it.  

I had this back in January when we were in Hawaii and fell in love with the idea of  "put an egg on it" as people say.  And I LOVE poached eggs and so does my family so this was a no brainer for us.

Bento Lunches


Pin It
If you know me you know one of my favorite things to do for my family is cook.  That totally includes packing lunches (and breakfast too some days) for those that go to work or school. I've even been known to throw in a lunch for friends :)

I have always loved serving a variety of flavors at meal time and now that everyone is either back in school or has a job I get to make and pack creative meals for them to enjoy.

These are my new favorite way to pack lunches for the kids and adults in my house.

I am also trying to make easy to prepare and pack lunches.  They shouldn't take more than 10 minutes to make and arrange in your lunch container.

Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies

Pin It

Sometimes you just need a classic cookie in your corner.

After trying lots and lots of "the best cookie in the world" recipes I always come back to the Classic Toll House recipe with just a few adjustments.
