Turkey Bratwurst and Potato Kabobs with Mustard Glaze

Kabobs are my jam. They really are! My family gets so excited to prep them with me or when they see me grilling them. I don’t know what it is about kabobs but they are just so much more fun to eat! Especially for my children. They try veggies that they otherwise wouldn’t. And of course to top it off all the food is cute bite size which is way more cute and easier to eat! Finding different things to grill on my kabobs is sometimes my downfall. So when Honeysuckle White turkey had these turkey bratwurst and potato kabobs …

I spend a lot of time cooking with my mom. She owns a catering company and also does gift baskets and different treats for professional offices around Arizona.

One of the benefits to working along side my mom is that I get to spend a lot of time with her and her friends and neighbors that stop by through out the day! A few years back she had a neighbor named Kjersten that I absolutely love. She would come over and hang out with us while her kids were at …

I absolutely love s’mores. S’mores remind me of summertime so when I was asked by Krusteaz to create a “Seize the Summer” recipe I knew just what I wanted to create! S’mores are supposed to be an easy treat to enjoy and that is exactly what these bar cookies are! EASY! When you pair it with Krusteaz double peanut butter mix it makes the dough even more easy! These can be made the day before for a summer time gathering, road trip, or a camping trip! I have brought them to overnighters and they are gone within seconds! I hope you …

Popsicles are consumed daily in our home during the spring and summer months. They are a staple in our freezer and my kids go through a large box a week. Not to mention they eat them all the time when they visit my parents and when they are at their friends houses. When it hits over 100 degrees in the beginning of June the popsicle storage continues to grow and grow. I grabbed some popsicle molds at the store and my kids have been in heaven created new flavors. The possibilities are endless. I use whatever I have on hand. …
