I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was wonderful. I spent the whole day with family. The best part of the holiday celebrations though was probably enjoying cheese fondue with Derek. When we first got married we wanted to make some of our own family traditions. One of them was to…
Skillet Lasagna
Derek LOVES lasagna. In fact, it is his favorite food. And after 2 1/2 years of marriage I still haven’t made it for him. I guess my excuses have been it takes too much time and cost too much money. This past weekend my friend moved away and gave us a lot of cheese so…
Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls
My husband graduated from BYU last week! We are so excited. Now we are even more excited for Christmas to come. Can you believe it’s coming right up? Only a few more days.

Flourless Chocolate Torte
My husband and I were in charge of our wards Christmas activity this past Saturday. When announcing at church a few weeks before we’d be having dinner served a girl asked me what we were having because she can’t have gluten. I really didn’t know too much about what foods have gluten and what foods…
Simple, Perfect Enchiladas
I love these enchiladas. They are so amazing. I was excited to make them again the other day because I know how much Derek likes them. He was supposed to come home from school at 5 pm so right at 5 it was ready and I had the table set and I waited and waited…
How to Decorate with Royal Icing
I’m not yet a pro when it comes to decorating but I love learning more about it. I started learning more about how to decorate when I decided I wanted to make a cake for Levi’s 1st birthday. But the first time I actually practiced decorating was in June, a week before Levi’s birthday, when…
