Chocolate Swirled Coconut Cupcakes-9

On Friday, little Miles turned one.  How a his first year went by so quickly baffles me.  To think this time last year I was snuggling a very sleepy, very tiny, new born baby boy makes my heart burst a little.  I loved that new born baby stage.   But one year old Miles is pretty incredible too.  And so much fun.  We still can't get enough his forever … [Read more...]

Oven Baked Blue Cheese & Cheddar Sweet Potato Rounds

Blue Cheese & Cheddar Sweet Potato Rounds-7

I've realized my taste for certain foods has changed since I've been married.  I like onions.  I like buffalo wings.  Cherry-dipped vanilla cones are growing on me.  And I really like blue cheese.  All things I never liked and never ate before I married Brett.  All things he loves.  I don't think I even tried blue cheese before I was married because the … [Read more...]

Smashed Avocado & Egg White Omelet- healthy & delicious breakfast on sweettreatsmore.com-6

This week, I'm detoxing.  Healthy. Clean. Greasy, Tex-Mex free & sugar free foods.  (Udi's Gluten Free Snicker Doodle Cookies do not count!)  Because the only bad thing about attending a conference for food bloggers is the amount of food consumed in just two and a half days.  Oyyy my scale was not my friend Monday morning.   BUT! I had so much fun, met some amazing … [Read more...]

Hey y'all.  Just got back from the BlogHer Food Conference in Austin, Texas.  I'm tired (stayed up way too late with girls chatting) and still stuffed from all the food I ate (think- chips and guac, tacos, fried avocados, and more tacos), but wanted to remind you about this last chance to win a trip to the Duncan Hines Test Kitchen this September.  I'll be there and I'm bringing … [Read more...]

Chick-fil-A Logo

***This giveaway is now closed*** On the rare occasion we eat fast food we always prefer Chick-Fil-A.  It's one fast food restaurant I fell in love with when I moved to Utah over six years ago.  We didn't have one where I grew up nor where I went to college, but there's a couple here in Utah and Utah folk are crazy for some Chick-Fil-A!  There's one just five minutes from my house … [Read more...]

CheesyMeatballPenneBaketwo

This Cheesy Italian Meatball Penne Bake has become one of my family's  favorite dinners.  Owen thinks meatballs are the coolest thing.  He sticks them with his fork and shoves the whole thing in his mouth at once.  And Miles can eat more of it than his big brother.  The kid loves the stuff.  And my husband, well, he can just about eat the entire pan.  What man … [Read more...]

Lasik-graphic-1-400x800

My first job out of college I worked as a receptionist in an Ophthalmologists' office.  (So much for that hard-earned bachelor's degree I'd just received.  I never did really use it.)  Some perks of the job were free eye check ups, free contacts, and a discount on glasses.  Unfortunately, I've always had good vision and didn't have a need for any of it.  I did try out some … [Read more...]

Browned Butter Vanilla Bean Blondies

brownedbutterblondies

Okay, is it browned butter or brown butter? I see it used differently all the time and really have no clue which is correct.  In my head I think, "well the butter is browned so it should be called browned butter ____ " ( for whatever it is you've made) right?  Does it even matter?  Whether it's browned or brown, the butta is goo-ood.   For now, I'm … [Read more...]

100 Days of Delight

snack delights

I used to think being a stay at home mom would be the best and easiest job in the world.  After three years of being on the job, I can say that it is the best job in the world (for me), but probably the hardest.  And that's okay, because I wouldn't trade it any other job- it was a choice I made and I'm grateful that I get to be at home with my boys every day. It's definitely not always … [Read more...]

hotfudgesundaekrispies

We are taking a last minute road-trip to visit my family in Colorado for the long weekend.  The nine hour drive with a busy 11-month old who hates his car seat has me terrified.  Any traveling tips?  Sleepy drugs?  Just kidding.  But while I'm stuck in a car for the next ten hours someone please enjoy one (or two or three) of these fudgie rice krispie treats for me. … [Read more...]

 Chopped salads are popping up all over the interweb.  And every time I see one I think to myself, "Ooh I've got to make one!"  I love chopped salads.  Forkfuls of finely chopped romaine lettuce loaded with lots of yummy toppings and plenty of dressing are just the best kind of salads.   Don't you think?   I finally got around to making this version of a chopped … [Read more...]

I've teamed up with Fiber One to bring you some fun and super easy cereal mix-in recipes using some of my favorite Fiber One cereals.  I'm kind of a cereal junkie so this was fun for me! I eat it for breakfast, snack on it during the day, and love having a bowl before bed sometimes (I consider it dessert!).  But cereal is not just meant for milk and bowl, the things you can do with it … [Read more...]

My good friend Claire shared this Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookie recipe from Orangette with me months ago and I just got around to making them last week.  Actually, Brett made them. I wanted a treat for our road trip to Vegas over the weekend (Happy Mother's Day to me!!) and after having two cookie fails in the same day, I  through in the towel.  Then I remembered this recipe, … [Read more...]
