Thanksgiving isn’t just about the food, it is, above all, a time to be thankful and to give back to those less fortunate. There are so many people in the world who don’t have the gift of a nice meal, let alone a large Thanksgiving meal with loved ones. This holiday is a great opportunity …

At dinner every night, everyone in my family shares one thing they are thankful for from the day. This started in November as we were discussing Thanksgiving and it just stuck. I adore this new tradition. After a rough day of whining and snot and poop on the ceiling (yes, this happened last week) it …

It’s time for Pecan Pie Truffles! It’s a holiday with the family which means I’ve been a baking fool the past few days. Normally, I would wait until I return home to share some of the recipes with you, but this one couldn’t wait. The family is going crazy on how delicious these little balls …

I fully believe that eggnog is not solely a Christmas beverage. It’s a holiday one. A tasty treat that can last from the day after Thanksgiving through New Year’s Day.

Plus, what’s not to love about Fall, right? Pumpkin and apple picking are two of my favorite activities and let’s not forget about …

Who doesn’t love homemade chocolate chip cookies? I have one better….homemade whole-wheat banana chocolate chip cookies. They are delicious and a healthier version of an old classic. I add the baked bananas to the recipe to add moisture and a natural sweetness to the cookies. I must admit I used to make the ones that come …

It’s a holiday week and I wanted to share a little slice of heaven that I like to make for the holidays!  Some may call these “Oreo Balls” or “Oreo Truffles” but I like to call them “dessert balls”.  I’m not sure where the original recipe is from (possibly Ms. Crocker, the Pillsbury family or …

I’m expecting a call from the kindergarten teacher tomorrow.  I just have that feeling after completing my 5 year old’s family Turkey project tonight.  With the best of intentions, the assignment went all wrong.
