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.

Pressure Cooker Chicken and Mushroom Asiago Risotto

This gave the soft serve a mild cherry flavor. This summer I plan on recreating the recipe and adjusting it to be used with fresh cherries from Michigan and see how it changes ...
Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Soup
Whenever we travel I love trying out new restaurants. And when I find a dish I absolutely love I try to recreate it at home. Disneyland and Disney World have some of the most amazing chefs, every time we go I find myself craving certain dishes when we get home.
