September may be starting this week, but I’m refusing to give up on Summer yet. There are still too many pool, beach, ice cream, sno-cone, and sunny related things on my to-do list and I need to cram them all into one week. So, here’s to making this week as jam packed as ever with…

Peaches and Cream Tarts
After my farmers market visit (and the whole bag of peaches that I bought!) I wanted to find another use for the yummy peaches other than just for ice cream! I decided on some fresh fruit tarts because they are delicious but also really pretty on a plate. If you have guests over or are…
Sweet Stops: Pierre Country Bakery
If you guys haven’t noticed by now, I LOVE sweets, desserts, and treats of all kind. (ALL THE TREATS!) It’s definitely a problem. So, to highlight my problem love for all things sugar coated, I thought I’d share a new feature here on the blog, showcasing a different local sweet stop in Utah. (I may even…
Peaches and Cream Ice Cream
It’s peach season and I couldn’t be happier! I wait all year long for the peaches to start hitting the local stores, here in Utah, and the time is here! I stopped by the farmers market over the weekend (you’ll see more of that trip on Wednesday!) and picked up some yummy peaches from a…

Buffalo Blue Cheese Corn on the Cob
It’s corn shucking season and I couldn’t be more thrilled. First, I love fresh corn on the cob, and second, it reminds me that Fall is right around the corner. With that comes my favorite holiday…Halloween! Corn is one of those great late summer sides that is really easy to make and is so good….
DIY Envelope Liners
Regardless of how much technology we consume in a day, how many emails we check, or face time calls we take, there is just something so special about getting something in the mail. No, not cheesy advertisements or coupons, although I admit that I do look through the coupons, but something personal and unexpected. It…
Watermelon Popcorn
I hope you all had an awesome weekend! It’s Monday, and I feel like Monday’s are always pretty terrible. Back to work and another full week ahead. And not to mention that we just started AUGUST! Where has this Summer gone?! I usually try to keep a to-do list of holiday or seasonally appropriate activities and…
