Boy has it been a wild few days but I worked this cake in so if you wanted, you could too and get it done before Halloween. When I was 6-years-old my parents gave me a Barbie cake and even though I was not a big Barbie doll player, I loved that cake and always…
30 Minute Pretzel Buns
Have you been seeing all the great burgers and hot dogs at restaurants using pretzel buns? So have I. I wanted to make some at home and I even found a recipe for it from a new blogger friend’s blog but as you know, I’m still practicing making bread and most things are a little…

A Message from Kelli

Cheesy Chicken Bacon Ranch Pot Pie
I love chicken pot pie, Mr. Picky Eater? Not so much. It’s his problem with most things vegetable that cause an issue. Since we have been married, I have had chicken pot pie only when out to dinner but some nights I really just want to make it here – especially on those cold rainy…
