Old man winter came blasting its way into our lives on Sunday, February 2nd! It was a church day, and the start to our missions conference. Here is what it looked like as we were leaving: The view from our front door. It’s SO beautiful! A little hard to see. Across the street. Our van …
I cannot remember where I first saw this recipe. I’m sure someone posted it on Facebook or Pinterest or somewhere. I made these last year for my in-laws at Christmas and they loved them! I did some further research this year before making them and they came out even better. In case you haven’t seen …
Lauren loves baking chocolate chip cookies…well, any cookies, but she gravitates toward chocolate chip. And she really loves bringing two or three of them, fresh from the oven, to me to taste.

Laci selected these yummy and very easy strawberry shortcakes for her recipe last week. We all enjoyed this one! I usually bake a yellow cake and top it with strawberries and whipped topping for this dessert, but we found these biscuits to be a nice change from our normal version. I think the cinnamon/sugar mixture …
