Celebrating Christmas in Germany and Spritz Cookies

Posted on October 9, 2017 by Kerry

Many of the traditional Christmas foods in Germany are sweets. Spritz Cookies are one of those many. They are mildly sweet and perfect for eating a bunch. We are going to be learning how Christmas is celebrated in the countries of our (the three of us) origin. I’m also going to visit Christmas celebrations in Israel and Egypt. Lucy and my ancestors are from Germany, Sweden, and England. Jamie’s ancestors are from Germany, Russia, Czech and England. Because I am limited on how many posts I have before Christmas, I am going to be posting about Germany, Sweden, Czech, and

Healthy Raspberry Oatmeal Cookies

Posted on August 21, 2017 by Jamie H

Fresh raspberries, oats and honey combine for healthy raspberry oatmeal cookies! My parents have thriving raspberry bushes, and every year they are generous enough to let me come and pick as many raspberries as I want. I always end up with plenty of juicy raspberries to bake with, make jam with, and eat fresh on our yogurt or cereal. Fresh raspberries (especially right off the bush) are such a delicious, summery flavor. I found this lovely recipe for healthy raspberry oatmeal cookies when last year’s raspberry harvest came in. I have tried and true raspberry recipes I love and make

Raspberry Sorbet

Posted on July 20, 2017 by Kerry

Raspberry Sorbet is a refreshing cold dessert that is low in calories. It is a perfect dessert for hot summer days. It is also dairy free. Has it been as hot as the surface of the sun at your house? It has been here. We’ve even had to bring the outdoor loving dog in during the afternoons. We’ve been eating tons of watermelon, sno-cones, ice cream and sorbet to help stay cool. Earlier this week I shared Chocolate Sorbet which is an amazing substitute for chocolate ice cream. Well, it’s just amazing regardless if you are steering clear of dairy

Chocolate Sorbet

Posted on July 17, 2017 by Kerry

Chocolate Sorbet is a delicious frozen dessert. The amazing flavor of this dessert makes you forget that it is dairy free. . It has been blazing hot here in southern Idaho. We got up over 100 degrees a few days this past week. Lucy and I also had VBS last week. I am in charge of recreation which means I was outside all morning. By the end of the week, I was beat. The Hardworking Husband was so sweet and got me snow cone on Friday. It was a great way to end VBS. Lucy had ice cream to end her

Triple Berry Crisp

Posted on July 6, 2017 by Lucy

Triple Berry Crisp is full of fresh berries, yummy oats & sweet brown sugar. It’s a perfect dessert for after berry picking or for all summer love! I love crisps! I think it’s the brown sugar or many the combination of the brown sugar & the oatmeal. But I absolutely love crisps! I made Apple Crisp all fall long & am also a big fan of Peach Crisp. {Related: Blueberry Crisp} But since it’s a long time before I’ll be harvesting peaches or apples, I decided to make a berry one. We had picked blackberries and blueberries when we were

Rhubarb Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

Posted on May 30, 2017 by Jamie H

Rhubarb Cake is sweet and delicious, and a great way to use up your rhubarb abundance! I don’t know about you, but I’ve never been a huge fan of rhubarb. I mean, it’s okay, but in a lot of recipes it is just a bit too tart for my taste. So the other day my sister was trying to pawn some rhubarb off on me. I was iffy on whether I wanted to take it. She said, “Try this new recipe for Rhubarb Cake, I think maybe you’ll like it.” So I tried it. And you know what? I really

Vanilla Lime Curd Cupcakes

Posted on May 18, 2017 by Kerry

Vanilla Lime Curd Cupcakes have amazing flavor from the Lime Curd and great balance from the Vanilla Cupcakes and Vanilla Buttercream Frost. I have a local coffee shop I love. They have the best coffee. I have yet to find one in my travels that compares. Every year they raise money for our crisis pregnancy center. One year they made Vanilla Lime Curd Cupcakes to raise money. They were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. A few years later I begged the owner to make more. She was sweet and made some just for me. I don’t want to ask

Chocolate Coffee Depression Cake

Posted on April 20, 2017 by Jamie H

This Chocolate Coffee Depression Cake is moist and delicious, made from scratch, and uses no eggs, milk, or butter. A long time ago, a friend told me she had made a Depression Cake. I was interested by it, so I looked into how to make one and loved that it was an easy cake made from scratch. However, I never got around to trying it until now. A Depression Cake is a cake made with no eggs, no milk, and no butter. It doesn’t require a bowl, as all the ingredients are mixed in the pan you’ll bake it
