Lemon Crumb Bars {Foodie Friday}

I think we may finally be crossing into spring. The weatherman says the temperatures are going to be in the 60s this weekend and the tree in my backyard is starting to bloom.

French Bread Rolls {Foodie Friday}

Spring, spring. You guys! We finally made it. The longest, coldest and (almost) snowiest winter has finally come to an end. The calendar says it is spring, but it's still pretty chilly in these parts. Truth be told, tonight's dinner is Chicken Noodle Soup served with these-the perfect roll recipe.

Caramel Apple Pie {Foodie Friday}

My aunt, who is really good at taking a hint, got me the new Pioneer Woman cookbook for Christmas. One of the first things I made was this apple pie. It was calling to me with it's pecan and caramel topping. I expected it to be good,

Thick and Soft Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies {Foodie Friday}

If you are a gluten lovin' fiend like myself, I promise you will love these cookies-but there is no gluten. This is post for my former boss Kelly who is gluten free.

Decorating with Pictures

This post was inspired by Kristen Duke's Yearly Series which taught me that something is better than nothing.

I love to go to other people’s houses and look at all their pictures. Our walls have been mostly bare for years and it drives me crazy.

Homemade Bread. It can be tricky but the results are so worth it. 

Happy Birthday to one of the sweetest people I know

Here's a cute little gift idea for the person who has everything.
I put some brownie bites in a jar and attached a tag with some baker's twine. 
I probably have more baker's twine than what should be legal, but that's not the point of this post.
The point is, you can use what you have to make a cute gift for a friend, teacher, coworker--in this case--my mom..

Chicken Noodle Soup {Foodie Friday}

Are you tired of winter yet? To be honest, I don't mind the snow so much as the cold, but this winter is trying my patience. It finally warmed up a bit yesterday, but the weather man is already saying that it won't last.

5 Photo Projects I do Every Year

Getting pictures off of your camera and onto your walls, printed for family or doing anything other than looking at them on the computer --is sometimes asking a lot. 

I take a lot of pictures. I should probably be glad that I don't have a smart phone, because I would only compound the problem. But I have made a commitment to doing the following photo projects every year. Most of these get done during the holidays--when things are crazy, but they are important to me, so I make a concerted effort to plan ahead and get them done every. single. year.
