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.
