So maybe I have a bit of a problem. Admitting it is the first step, right? No, my problem is not a drinking problem, it is a cooking with beer issue that I have. I like to do it...and often. I hope you enjoyed the Guinness Brownies that I posted on Wednesday and also the quick and easy beer bread from a couple of months ago, so here is a new one to add to the beer infused food repertoire. … [Read more...]

Dessert Should Come First – Guinness Brownies
February 26, 2014 6 Comments
Chocolate and beer go together like, well, like chocolate and peanut butter. The flavors combine to create an outrageously delicious burst of flavor. I've heard that the malt in the beer intensifies the chocolate flavor, making a brownie (which is totally yummy all on it's own) an over the top treat that will leave you wanting more. I bought a six pack of Guinness the other day and have been … [Read more...]
Create Your Own Four Leaf Clover Wreath

I claim no Irish roots, but give me a reason to celebrate, and I am all about it! St. Patty's Day gives me an excellent excuse to suddenly include beer in all of my recipes and eat a bunch of candy because a sweet little leprechaun left it for me. Now that is my kind of holiday! And because I love to change my décor for no reason at all to match the changing seasons and holidays, I dove right … [Read more...]
Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Icing
February 21, 2014 Leave a Comment
This week has been one of those that makes me feel like I need comfort food to make it through. You know that feeling, right? Every now and then I just have an insatiable craving for something so delicious and horrifyingly bad for you that I can't deny it. And when that happens, I turn to my old favorites like macaroni and cheese, waffles with a huge dollop of butter and dripping with syrup and … [Read more...]
DIY Glass Milk Bottles for a Fraction of the Price!
February 19, 2014 Leave a Comment
Glass milk bottles seem to be all the rage these days and are popping up in magazines and taking over Pinterest with their popularity. I absolutely adore the look and dig the retro vibe, but I am a super cheapskate and was unwilling to order any at the exorbitant prices that I had found online. But I felt that I needed to have some. They spoke to me every time that I saw someone's gorgeous … [Read more...]
10 Minute DIY KitchenAid Bowl Cover
February 17, 2014 4 Comments
I don't know about you, but my KitchenAid mixer is one of the most used items in my kitchen. For that reason (and the fact that it seems to weigh a metric ton!), it is the owner of a small chunk of my kitchen counter. I was sitting in my kitchen the other day looking across at the mixer and thinking, "I hate that the bowl gets so dusty in between uses." I always feel the need to rinse it out at … [Read more...]
Cinnamon Chip Snickerdoodles

My husband and I are from Montana and basically worship snow. Being a military family we are currently stationed in the south where the slightest possibility of a single flake falling from the sky brings the whole town to a standstill. We are slowly but surely adjusting to these ways as our last three duty stations were New Mexico, Georgia and now North Carolina, but we still find it absolutely … [Read more...]
Paleo and Gluten Free 3 Ingredient Crepes
February 12, 2014 37 Comments
Back in March of last year my hubby and I decided that we would do a strict 30 day Paleo cleanse. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about my eating habits, but let me tell you; it was so very tough to go from eating whatever I pleased to eating mainly meat and veggies. Really tough. The kind of tough that made me feel as though I was losing my mind at times. The hardest things for … [Read more...]
Cute as Cake Valentine’s Box
February 10, 2014 Leave a Comment
Before we dive into the Valentine's box, I'd like to quickly apologize for my brief absence this past week. We had a death in the family and I was out of state (and without internet - gasp!). I chose not to add anything to social media either because I was in an ugly frame of mind. Please forgive me and know that I am back and the gears are spinning to put out some fun new content. On to … [Read more...]
