Empty Tombs are a delicious treat for Easter morning. They are also known as Marshmallow Delights. It's the perfect idea for teaching kids about Christ's Resurrection. I discovered these little treats last year after Easter and knew I would make them this year. They are perfect for an object lesson on Jesus Christ's death and Resurrection. As my kids and I made them, I explained what each step represented. The best was once we opened the "tombs" and saw that it was indeed empty. We made these … [Read more...]

Mormon Muffins
Mormon Muffins are perfectly soft and fluffy. No boring bran muffins here! Serve them with honey butter and you're all set. Oh these are just from Heaven. You must eat them warm with honey butter. You must. They come from one of my favorite restaurants, The Greenery. That's where my favorite sandwich Fowl Play comes from, as well. Mormons settled in Utah way back in the day (1847) and that's where the name comes from. These are not your boring bran muffins. These are incredible and you … [Read more...]
Onion Rings
I have never made homemade onions rings until now. I know. Was I crazy? Yes. They are going to be made more often now. I can't even look at the frozen kind you cook in the oven. Nope. Not a glance. These are incredible. I completely ate them all. Well, my husband had a few. Anyone who knows me, knows that I can out eat my 6 foot, two hundred something hubby. It's what I do.

Peanut Butter Cornflakes
Peanut Butter Cornflakes are a wonderful no bake dessert. They are extremely addicting so beware! My neighbor made these when we went up the canyon one summer and I fell in love. Such a gooey treat! Peanut butter and gooey-ness just say, "Eat me! I'm delicious!" I always double these and they still don't last long enough. You can drizzle melted chocolate on top if you want, but I love them just the way they are. Peanut Butter Cornflakes Print Author: Mandy Bird Ingredients … [Read more...]
Caramel Popcorn
Caramel Popcorn is a favorite treat at out house. It's soft and gooey and completely addicting! My husband's Grandma makes popcorn balls every year for Christmas for whoever stops by or for all of us to munch on. She just has a stash of them ready to go. They are wonderful. When I make them, I just leave it all in a big bowl to dig at. The best is when you get to the bottom and there's all this extra caramel hidden away. So soft and gooey...I love this recipe. It makes a great gift as … [Read more...]
Broken Glass Jello
Another recipe that when I saw it, I knew I had to make it. My kids loved these. I was skeptical on how they would taste, but they are a new favorite way to eat Jello in my house. Who wouldn't love these? So pretty and you can make them in any color combo for any occasion. Red and Blue for the 4th of July, multi colored for a birthday or any day, and whatever else you want. I chose red and green for Christmas. Have fun with these babies...Broken Glass Jello4 (3-oz.) packages assorted Jello … [Read more...]
Caramel Corn Puffs
Caramel Corn Puffs are a great snacking treat. Beware: they are HIGHLY addictive! Maybe you've seen these already. Maybe you haven't. But you'd know if you had. You would have remembered gaining at least 5 pounds. That's what happens when you eat these. Because you can't stop. Not even after half the bowl is gone. Just sayin. These would make great neighbor gifts or party snacks or your husband is gone to Wyoming working in the oil fields every other week … [Read more...]
