We've been back from the California Bay Area for a couple of weeks and I've really been dragging my feet on writing all about the trip. We loved it so much, we keep telling each other that we should move out there. AJ wants a house in Carmel-by-the-Sea, but I personally would love a place in San Francisco. We were only there for 7 days, but I feel like we saw a huge chunk of ...
Baked Bacon and Mozzarella Sticks
It's that time of the year, it's fair season! We just went to our local state fair a few weeks ago, and now the Wisconsin State Fair is in full swing until August 10th!

Home Made Enchilada Sauce
I love making my own sauces. It’s really nice to know exactly which ingredients are in your sauce none of that “and other artificial flavors” crap that you see on ingredient lists. My favorite part is being able to add your favorite ingredients to your sauce little by little until you get the flavor you're looking for. I love being able to add my favorite spices and flavors to ...

Cheesy Jalapeno Burgers
Raise your hand if you've been grilling every night that you can! I know we have. Grilling means less dishes, and that's just awesome. One of my favorite kinds of grill food would have to be cheeseburgers, and yes they need to have cheese. What's the point of a perfectly grilled burger if you don't top it with melty cheese? I know I know, I'm going to talk about cheese again, ...
Last Minute Easter Craft: Easter Mason Jars

The Peter Rabbit, I love nibbling at his ears and biting off his candy eyes (Easter bunnies can be a tad morbid, huh?) All the other ...
Samoa Cheesecake
It's that time of the year, Girl Scout cookies, they're everywhere. I was having a hard time getting my hands on a box of Samoa, and then decided that I would just go without for another year. Of course after I decided to pass on the cookies this year I've been able to find them everywhere. Everywhere. They're basically stalking me. I even found Girl Scout cookies in our local ...
