Ritzy Reeses Squares

This is a recipe that a friend of ours made for us the other day. These are super easy, no bake, and only have 5 ingredients.  I know they look like a lot of other chocolate peanut butter bar recipes out there, but they have a secret ingredient! Our friends told us as they were dishing them up that the recipe called for graham cracker crumbs, but since they didn't have any on hand, they used Ritz crackers instead. And oh my heavens, was it a great substitute! It was perfectly sweet and salty, and chocolaty and peanut buttery and just yum.  =)

Kitchen Chalkboard Printables - EDITED!

Table Setting Printable has been edited!

So here is my first attempt at making a chalkboard printable!  It was an adventure trying to make it look right... How did I do?  I have an empty frame in my kitchen where I used to have the Elf Four Food Groups Pyramid during Christmas time.  But it has been several weeks since Christmas now, and it has been empty since December 26th, so I decided it was finally time to get something in it.  And of course when I started thinking about it I came up with more than one idea, so I'll just share all of them.

Grandma's Red Pepper Jelly

Today I am going to be sharing a recipe that I got from my Grandma.  This was always one of my very favorite things that she bottled every year. It makes as a great appetizer that is easy to just pull a bottle out of the pantry and pour over a brick of cream cheese to serve with crackers.  It also does make more than one bottle, so it can easily be shared with your neighbors and friends.

Simple Weight Loss Goal Chart

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope that you all had a great Christmas and a safe New Years Eve.  Ours was pretty quiet.  Ammon got spoiled by his grandmas on Christmas (of course), and we enjoyed just spending time with our families.  Now New Years is also over, and it is 2014!  And with the new year comes resolutions.  Yay!

 

I know like everyone else in the world, I have the resolution to lose weight and be healthier.  I've done really good in the 6 months since I had my baby, and I dont want to quit now where I'm at!  I am a very visual person.  For me, when trying to lose weight or work towards some fitness goal, I have to have a chart that I can look at to see my progress, and see where I am headed.  Usually in the past I have just scribbled on a scrap of paper the goals I have and what date I would like to achieve them by.  But then being the scatter brain that I am, I lose it!

So, this year, I thought I'd make a cute actual chart that I can print up nicely and put somewhere where I won't lose it.  Here's just my simple weight loss chart I thought I'd share with you.   I have three different styles. One more neutral one, the second is the same with just a little bit more girly flare, and the third is just straight up girly.
