Due to Victor being a chef, having Saturdays off is a joke.  Gabriella’s actual birthday is on a Saturday and Victor didn’t have to be in at work until the afternoon, so we were able to celebrate a little bit.  I made Mickey Waffles!  The Mickey waffles were great, especially since her birthday party…

This is one of my favorite dishes in the summertime in Germany, especially when paired with a Radler (German beer mixed with Sprite) sitting outside soaking up the sun!  Flammkuchen is a German thin crust pizza with crispy bacon and onions with a sour cream/greek yogurt sauce.  The sauce…

Pan-Fried Onion Dip

When I was in high school, my all time favorites was chips and dip.  Ok, more like ruffled potato chips and Frito-Lay canned onion dip.  I remember picking it up at the gas station on my way home from work.  I know it was so bad for me, but I was a teenager.  It was so good!  I’m…

When I was a little girl, I remember making these with my mom every Easter time!  Now, I am a mom with two girls of my own, I can pass this on to them.  I picked up some chow mein…

I knew early on I wanted to be chef, so I bought and received kitchen items way back to when I was a teenager.  For my sixteenth birthday, my parents got me a KitchenAid mixer!  Some kids get a car of their own, well, we…

Since Olaf is on Sofia the First this morning, what a better way to celebrate than to make Olaf Cookies that you can put together.  These are the same cookies that I…

I haven’t written in a few days as I have been busy finishing up a 31 page paper for class.  I wanted to share with you a few of my…

It seems that the Fixer Upper on HGTV has taken the US by storm.  I love what Chip and Joanna Gaines stand for and love her design esthetic!!  I follow her on Instagram and saw a Bible verse, Acts 2:46, that she…

So with it getting colder outside, I have to think of activities to keep Isabelle occupied and having fun!  I went to Target by myself last night to pick up a few items—yeah by myself in Target, like a mini vacation!!  I picked up …

Okay, I have had this recipe for a long time and now I am going to share it with you all.  My first job was at a smoothie place in my hometown in Florida.  I worked there for about 6-9 months and then my sister came on board.  We created this smoothie and it is awesome!! Who loves Chocolate?!  Who loves Peanut Butter?!  Who loves Chocolate and Peanut…
