Chocolate Peanut Butter Rice Crispy Bars

I am a huge fan of Rice Crispy Treats. Especially covered in chocolate. When peanut butter is thrown into the mix, there probably won’t be any left for others. I adapted this recipe from Eat Go...

On Vikings and the Crazy Profession of Writing

I have a weakness for Vikings. From the time I was a very little girl, my family would frequently play a game – we would take each person’s name and say it backwards, knowing that it was ...

Along the Fairy Tale Road Part Two

The German Fairy Tale Road, or Deutsche Märchenstrasse, is full of tiny villages all boasting some claim to the tales of the Brothers Grimm. But the brothers also stopped at larger towns to gather th...

Food is simply more fun when it comes on a stick. Think carnival foods – cotton candy, lollipops, and corn dogs – snacks that bring to mind good memories. When I found this recipe for bro...

HoneyDukes at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

I believe it’s been established that I am quite the Disney fan. But I also have other loves – one of which is Harry Potter. On our last trip to the World, we decided it was crucial that a...

Dream a Little Dream

Let me tell you about a small aspiration of mine. Small, because it isn’t grand by any means. A dream, because I don’t know when – or if – it will ever happen. This tiny dream...

Goofy’s Candy Company

While at the beach last week, we decided to make the relatively short drive to Orlando for a day trip. It was opening day for the Hunger Games, which gave me the excuse I needed for satisfying my cra...

Chocolate Coffee Caramel Bars

I may have said it before, but I’m not sure there are many things that can compare to the combination of Chocolate and Caramel. Unless, that is, you throw Coffee into the mix. I found these tas...

Germany’s Märchen Straße – An Introduction to the German Fairy Tale Road

Perhaps the Healthiest Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake

I happened upon this recipe for Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake at Fast Paleo, and simply had to share it with the world. It is really more Primal/Maker’s Diet, but I won’t tell them over at ...
