It’s officially the beginning of another work week. I’m never going to complain about a long holiday weekend, but this one seemed unusually short. It felt like any other regular old two day weekend to me. The older I get, the faster time passes by, and it doesn’t make any difference if it’s a two…

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…
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…
Citrus Sangria
It’s Thirsty Thursday! If you’re not familiar with this special weekly celebration, today is a great day to become familiar with it, because I’m sharing a special recipe that’s a perfect match! Sweet, tangy, and full of flavor, this cocktail is one that you’ll want to drink now and pin for later. Citrus flavors always…
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….
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…
Strawberry Shortcake Layer Cake
It’s definitely not a birthday without cake and there was no way I was going to let the blog’s 1/2 birthday slip by without whipping up a little something sweet! But, with a birthday falling during the middle of the week, I opted for a bit of a short cut, instead of trying to make…
Blueberry Ice Cream
Are you guys ready for the easiest ice cream recipe ever? No, really. This stuff is a cinch to make. No ice cream maker…? No problem. Don’t want to sit over the stove or wait for things to chill for hours in the fridge before freezing? Again, no worries here. This blueberry ice cream is…
Healthy Strawberry Margaritas
This week is only a 4 day work week for the residents of Utah (aka, me) and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Pioneer Day, the day that the pioneers settled in the state, is on Friday and I intend to celebrate the state holiday with a cool cocktail in hand. (Not exactly very “Utah-esque” of…
Shark Week Cocktail: “Blood in the Water”
It’s FRIDAY! I don’t know about you, but this week has been a doozy for me. Crazy busy schedules, what seems like an endless amount of problems popping up, and various home improvements that all decided now was the perfect time to break down. (Our front door handle was only ONE of the many things…
