We’ve had uncharacteristically wet weather in Colorado this year, but the last few weeks have warmed up more like usual. And dry, hot weather is a perfect time to barbecue! I pulled out one of my favorite recipes last week and boy, it had been too long since I’d made it! I’m eager to share Read More …
We needed a quick side dish and vegetable this week, and my Green Bean and Corn Salad did the trick! It’s best when the beans and corn are fresh, of course, but it works well with frozen veggies in a pinch, which is what I did this time. I love that it takes some very Read More …
Warming, rich and tasty, this Crockpot Ham and Bean soup tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen. But with the magic of a slow cooker, you don’t have to! It’s also a great way to use a ham bone! Read More …
UPDATED with better photos and recipe card! My husband Dean has taken over the blog today! Or more accurately, he offered to write a guest post now and then to free up some time for me. I gladly accepted! Dean is my partner in all things, especially in Allergy Superheroes. Without him, I don’t Read More …

But baked donuts still aren’t quite the same thing as traditional fried donuts. Yes, fried are Read More …
After sharing this cake, I had several requests for a tutorial on cake decorating. Here, I walk you through a Batmobile cake, but you can make any shape you wish! Read More …
I’m back! And it’s Monday, so it’s time for another recipe! It’s funny, four years ago I discovered that a good way to ignore the passage of time is to be 8 1/2 months pregnant on your birthday. I wasn’t the least bit interested in turning 30 because I had a baby on the way Read More …
