Happy Birthday Sweet Nora

Happy Birthday Nora!! This vivacious little 4 year old had her birthday party at a local book store. They had a story time based on her favorite book, "Pinkalicious" about a littlegirl that ate SOOOOOO many PINK cupcakes she turned RED!! :) In honor of the story, her fun loving mommy ordered up 2 dozen pink and 2 dozen red cupcakes

Kiss Kiss Kiss

Kiss kiss kiss!
Aunt Esther, who come to find out, isn't actually an aunt or family member at all, bestowed upon my family her recipe for Christmas kisses. These delightful and oh so addicting, bite seized cookies have a sweet surprise waiting on the inside and are best right out of the oven. You better grab them quick as they are only around during Christmas and don't stay long in the jar...

Family Traditions

Pumpkins and pecans are scrumptious and festive during Thanksgiving but this year, spending the holiday away from my family, I wanted to honor my mom and share a family tradition with loved ones by whipping up a delicious and traditional Bavarian Apple Torte.
