There are just some foods and flavors that will always instantly remind me of the holidays.  Some of these flavors are warm spices, peppermint and creamy desserts.

Recently, while shopping at Sam’s Club, I noticed they were selling Starbucks Limited Edition Holiday Blend Coffee.  I was pleased to find a 28 oz. bag was only $18.98 !  Starbucks Holiday Blend is usually sold as 16 oz. for about $14.00 so I am saving around $10.00 by buying this in bulk!  I LOVE …

We are all die hard Sooner fans in my family.  My dad is the biggest fan of all.  He even has a theory that if he is not wearing an OU T-shirt during a game that the team will lose.  I’m still not convinced that the fate of the team is dependent on my dad, but we sure …

Here are my little girls’ costumes from this year!  I made them all for about  15 dollars or less!  I used clearance Walmart dresses and things around the house to dress them up!  I love it!  For the fruit on Chiquita banana girl For the Morton Salt Girl I used a little yellow dress, duck …

Aren’t these adorable?   These Campfire Mini Cakes were the perfect treat for my little girls to help me make while we were camping!  The best part is that other than the initial prep of the “fire candy” I didn’t have to cook anything!  Everyone in the family loved them and they all wanted the …

 Crunchy, salty and savory… can you believe that I am talking about the super healthy kale?  Some of you reading this may not even know what I am talking about!  I hadn’t heard of it (kale) until around 4 years ago when I started eating more whole foods.  I didn’t care much for kale on …
