Arizona Sugar Cookies
I was grateful to spend time with these three lovely ladies – Jo and her two girls, and help them learn the art of decorating sugar cookies.

Fourth of July Pancakes
Kick your holiday pancakes up a notch by using Wilton’s Liquid Gel Colors to turn your pancakes into 4th of July flags. Make pancake batter like normal.

(Notice I said “junior high” not “middle school.” That will date me for sure….the times of Rave hairspray, lip smackers and floral headbands.) I had […]

Grow Green Onions in your Kitchen from Scraps!
A few years ago I learned that you can re-grow green onions…literally re-grow them, giving you two bunches for the price of one. I love this and do it all the time.
