My husband LOVES a good cheese danish, especially when it's warm. Problem is the ones at the grocery store are so expensive. When I found this recipe I knew I had to try it. For the price of one at the grocery store I can make two of these. It was super simple to make and it's now become a favorite of ours. I found it on my all time favorite food blog Lauren's Latest. If you haven't checked out … [Read more...]

Sprinkled Spiral Christmas Cookies!
By 17 Comments
I shared these on facebook the other day and stated these were the hardest cookies I ever made and that might not be exactly true but they were definitely time consuming.

Why must we have to name our children? It is such a big responsibility and one that, well, is too much for me and my husband. You would think finding a name for a child should come easy but we just find it to be such a difficult process. We want names that aren't bouncing off the wall with uniqueness but at the same time aren't a dime a dozen. I grew up as a Jennifer in the 80's & 90's. There … [Read more...]
