Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting

This is a crazy recipe for me to post because I don't like anything pumpkin - pumpkin spice, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pie, none of it.  My nose turns up to everything pumpkin except for one thing: these incredible pumpkin bars.  I know it doesn't make sense, but these pumpkin bars…

Best Spots to Relax at Disney

Disneyland is wonderful, but it can also be exhausting. Sometimes we need a little break from the crowds and craziness.  Let me clarify that I when I say "we," I'm talking about us as parents.  Kids, they're like energizer bunnies, they keep going and going and going.  I'm usually the…

Grilled Pineapple

How do you like your pineapple?  Most of the time I just cut it up and eat it, or add it to a fruit salad.  My family loves pineapple, but the last few times I've bought one it's mostly gone uneaten.  Since I hate wasting food, I thought that it…

Our Finely-Honed Smoked Old Fashioned Recipe

This summer my husband and I were able to, against all odds, sneak away for a kid-free night in Saugatuck, Michigan. While we were there, we happened to dine at a restaurant that featured a Smoked Old Fashioned on its menu.  This cocktail voodoo was unknown to us, a smoked…

Watermelon Mint SaladEats

Watermelon Mint Salad

Watermelon mint is an exciting new flavor combination for me.  I'd not experienced or even heard of this flavor combo. Then, I had the good fortune to experience a watermelon mint flavored sparkling water while away for a weekend trip.  As soon as the bubbles and flavors hit my tongue…

Old Fashion Cobbler with Fresh Fruit and Berries

When summer rolls around and I have lots of fresh fruit and berries in the house, I love to make one of my favorite desserts: Cobbler!  This tasty specific old fashion cobbler recipe has been in my family for generations.  It was passed down to me from my mom who…
