Last weekend Peyton and I attended a cupcake decorating demonstration from Way Cool Cooking School at the Crayola Experience at the Mall of America. This weekend I decided to take the knowledge and new skills and put them to the test. I wanted to see if it was really that easy to make Tie Dye cupcakes at home. Because everything seems so simple when you are in a class, I was curious to see if I would have the same results at home. Here's a list of supplies you'll need to make these ...
Quick and Easy Taco Dinner
Most kids love tacos. It's one of my favorite dishes to prepare because everyone can customize it to the way they like it. This is also one of the first dishes I ever learned to make growing up. It's simple, tastes great and is a crowd pleaser. Now I don't use a taco seasoning packet, no way! I like the freedom to customize each pan of taco meat. Here's how I make tacos in our home - You'll need to following ingredients 1lb 85/15 Hamburger 3/4 teaspoon Oregano 3 tablespoon Red Wine ...
Pressure Cooker Chicken and Mushroom Asiago Risotto
So last year I became intrigued by pressure cookers. I started using them here and there and still wasn't too comfortable with them. Well, I've been using mine since Christmas, at least once a week, and now I can't get enough! I can cook a whole meal in one pan in a half hour or less! And the food is so good!

Bring The Star Home Today
I took Peyton to see The Star a few months ago and she loved it. It's a clever twist on the birth of Jesus told through the eyes of the animals. And kids love it! It may not be Christmas time but the story is one that will resonate throughout the year. There are many values being expressed throughout the story that should be practiced year round, not just at Christmas. With Easter right around the corner, The Star would make a great Easter Basket stuffer. The lead character in The ...
The Love Story Behind the Whole Damn Mess
This post is sponsored by One2One Network. All opinions are my own. Valentine's Day is just around the corner and love is in the air! Did you know there is a love story behind Whole Damn Mess? Well, there is. The debut album, The Queen and the Outcast, is a love story told through rock and roll. It's a story about the rich girl and the bad boy told through music. But this is not a fictional love story, it's a true love story. It's the story of Don Miggs, signer and songwriter for Whole ...
