Nothing is better than a warm and buttery soft pretzel, I can barely pass Aunt Annie's at the mall without caving in! Over the last few months I have seen recipes floating around blogland for homemade pretzels and I was sceptical, I couldn't believe that these tasty treats could ever be replicated at home...boy was I wrong! ...

Whole Wheat Pizza Puffs
Pizza Puffs, sounds like heaven right? My friend Erin has the best list of popular blogs, one of which is called Cooking With My Kid and this recipe caught my eye. I thought they would the perfect dinner for my sister to make my twin nieces Audrey and Lilly but I wanted to try them for myself before I sent her the link cause I am such a nice sister;). I made them for Chris for a little appetizer while he watched the Michigan game a few weekends ago. These little treats are so easy to make, you can make them ahead of time ... Keep Reading >>
The Best Chili Ever!
I hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween! Usually we don't do much to celebrate because neither one of us like to dress up in costumes and we are both chickens when it comes to scary stuff but this year we had a special treat and were able to have our friends Russ and Laura and their daughter Sarah over to trick or treat in our neighborhood and have dinner. Sarah is two years old and it was fun to watch her say trick or treat and cheer "Go Standford" with her cute costume on. ... Keep Reading >>
Simple Chocolate Brownies
I wanted to make Brownies over the weekend, I asked Chris what kind he would prefer and he said he just wanted something simple, no nuts or swirls or sprinkles or caramel. What a party pooper!

After I cut them it just dripped down the sides, ooey gooey deliciousness. Most of the ingredients should be in your pantry so give them a try, they a simple but special. ... Keep Reading >>
Pumpkin Pecan Sticky Bun Muffins
I can always count on finding a new recipe in my Southern Living Magazine, those Southern ladies always know how to win my heart! You might be wondering why I subscribe, if you have been reading my blog for a while you know that I have lived in the Midwest and the West but never the South. It was a gift last Christmas from my brother Nick and his wife Kelly and I really like it. ... Keep Reading >>
Tandoori Grilled Chicken
Cooking in our house is a sort of a group effort. I typically do all of the shopping and cooking but when it comes to meal planning I ask Chris what he wants me to make that week depending on our schedules and budget. If we are going to try something new Chris typically does the research, something that I don't have much patience for. Chris is more adventuresome when it comes to trying new things (if it was up to me we would eat mac and cheese or risotto every night). This Indian dish was on the cover of a Cooking Light ...
