It sure seems like a lot of my recipe titles include the word “Cheese” or “Cheesy” and I ain’t gonna lie, cheese just makes me smile.

If there was any doubt about my cheese addiction, you might not have been paying attention, and I forgive you (refer to my Chili Cheese Biscuits and my Cheesy Chicken Arepas for further “cheesy” goodness). These Cheesy Chiles Rellenos Cakes are my interpretation on a stuffed, poblano pepper favorite.
They are delicious and super easy to make so hold on to your hats, Cowgirls (and boys). Arriba!! [click to continue…]

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter! Ours was very laid back. We wish we could have seen our out of town families but it was a great day.
And now there’s the big “after Easter” question. Nooo, it’s not “how to raid the kids’ Easter baskets without them noticing” {that’s just too easy}. ;)
It’s the question of “What to do with all of those hard boiled eggs?“. [click to continue…]

Wow, where did this month go already? Three days until Easter? This little “Easter Bunny” is wayyy behind. I managed to finally get my Spring mantel up (and I already want to change it up but that’s another story that my Husband can’t bear to hear right now). Have you all been Spring cleaning and decorating?
I really haven’t done as much as I would have liked so far but what’s the rush?? I’ll get it all up in time to take it down and bust out the Halloween decor. No problem. ;)
So I have this big wall in our family room that has been taunting me for the last 11 months since we moved in…. Especially since we threw a measly little wall hanging up the first week and then have done. Nothing. Else. [click to continue…]

For the next five days we are sharing some super fun ideas for Spring and Easter and we are thrilled that you are here for the party!
Starting us off on Day #1 is Ruth over at “Living Well, Spending Less”.

I have been following Ruth’s amazing blog for over two years now and I had the great pleasure of meeting her in person at the Beech Retreat conference in South Florida last month. Ruth is not only a beautiful person inside and out, she is also an awesome writer, photographer, money saving expert (her money saving segments are televised locally in her area too!) and a HomeSchool Mommy of two beautiful girls.
Today, Ruth is sharing these adorable and easy DIY Felt Monogram Easter Baskets so “hop on over” and check them out! [click to continue…]

Happy Monday, friends! Spring is in the air and everyone I know is just itching to just get outside! But first, St. Patrick’s Day will be here in a week and, while many of you may not really view that as a big holiday, it’s still fun to decorate with some “shamrock whimsy” and to wear green and (even if you’re not) to pretend to be Irish for just one day!
Today I am super excited to be guest blogging over at DebbieDoos! Here’s a sneak peak at the St. Patricks Day Bunting Pillow tutorial I am sharing over there today!
