My trusty baking assistant accompanied me in the kitchen last week. We made the easiest Butterfinger cookies out of cake mix! They only have four ingredients and Julia just loved mixing them all together. No electric mixer needed. I loved seeing her little face light up as sh …
Holy Cow…I’m sharing my menu! Can you believe it? I feel like I’m slowly getting back into a groove in the kitchen. It’s still hard to get dinner ready because everyone seems to need me between 4 and 6 pm. Perhaps I’ll start prepping our food dur …
Hey there! I’m Jennifer from The Vanzant Family! I’ve known Molly now for a little over a year and I am so excited for her and her new addition. I hope everything goes wonderful and I cant wait to see pictures of that beautiful baby! I want to share a recipe with …

I like to consider myself the Pantry Princess. I’m usually pretty good at coming up with a delicious meal or snack out of things I already have on hand. I try my best to only go to the grocery store once a week (it cuts down on spending, folks), so if something comes up …
I was so excited to participate in The Great Food Blogger Cookie Swap for the second year in a row. This massive cookie swap is the brain child of Lindsay and Julie and involves hundreds of food bloggers baking up a storm, then shipping their cookies across the country for ot …
