Rustic Fruit Tart

This Rustic Fruit Tart is an easy dessert that makes a big impact at the table. It is perfect for those end of the season picnics and potlucks.

Let's talk about the weather for a minute. I love summer and everything about it. The beach, the sun, the tan lines, the fruit. But I really love fall. It is my absolute favorite season of the year. If I could find a place that was fall ¾th of the year and spring/summer for the other ¼th of the year, I would seriously pack our bags and move there.

There is something about this time of year that just gets me. I love the chilly days when I have to wear jeans and sweatshirts.. The smell of crispy leaves in the air coming in my open windows makes me so happy. Then there are the colors. Red, orange, and yellow leaves with the sun coming through. Best. Thing. Ever.

Warrior Dash 2013

Last weekend my husband and my oldest son and I joined some friends and ran the Warrior Dash in a town near ours.

Yes, I'm crazy 🙂

Seriously I am such a girlie girl. I love cute clothes and accessories. I don't leave my house without make up or real clothes on. No pajama pants or yoga pants leave my house unless I'm going to the gym. Now obviously there have been a few instances, but I can really only think of one or two where I did go in a store that way. So running a mud run is quite a stretch for me. But it actually isn't the first one I have done.

Two years ago my husband and I did and finished a Tough Mudder. 13 miles of running through the mud and water in 50* weather. Now that was crazy!!! [Read more...]

Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish

This Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish can double as breakfast or an after school snack. The sweet filling inside the crescent dough will have everyone reaching for more.

Chocolate chip cheesecake and raspberry pie filling baked inside a crescent roll makes a great breakfast or after school snack

I have been trying to convince our kids that breakfast is an important meal. That is a hard one to sell when I am not a morning person, and I have zero desire to get up early to make (or eat) hot pancakes or muffins that early in the morning.

I'm pretty sure I would burn anything I try to make because my eyes would still be closed. Closed eyes and hot griddles do not make a good combination.

I have found a way around that though. Lucky for me I am a night owl, and I don't mind making some sort of breakfast the afternoon or night before. In fact, the other night I made a double batch of pancakes and froze them all.

Back to School Shopping

There is something so fun about back to school shopping. Freshly sharpened pencils, unbroken crayons, new markers, and the smell of brand new shoes and back packs. I remember going shopping every summer for new shoes for the first day of school. It was always one of my favorite shopping days.

Today my kids enjoy going to the store for new supplies and shoes too. They love picking out their own colors and styles. I really enjoy seeing their personalities come out in their choices. But unfortunately all this supply shopping can really hit you in the wallet, especially when you have more than one child to shop for. Recently my daughter and I went shopping at Gordmans to see what we could put together for the first day of school.

Gordmans is a large department store that has many bright and colorful choices for outfits. They have a huge selection of brand name clothing that is a fraction of the price you would see in any other store. They enjoy providing big selections at a bigger savings. This makes this mom happy when shopping for clothes for three children. [Read more...]

Cotton Candy Cookies

These Cotton Candy Cookies start with a cake mix and a fun frosting for a cookie sandwich that is great for lunch boxes or after school snacks.

Did you know that your oven is great at hiding things?

Do you have company coming over soon and no time to do the rest of the dishes? Put them inside the oven on the racks...just don't forget and turn the oven on later. I've done both before. The hiding and the forgetting.

Underneath is a great hiding place for things like fruit snacks, popcorn, pretzels, airsoft bullets, straws, and even tomatoes.

What?

I use the vacuum attachment every time I vacuum the kitchen, but apparently, it doesn't reach every single place. I always find a fantastic assortment of grossness when I actually pull the oven out from the wall. Yeah, that only happens about twice a year, so who knows what could be under there by now.

Peanut Butter Banana Muffin Tops

Breakfast never looked better than it did with Peanut Butter Banana Muffin Tops. The chocolate and Reese's Pieces are optional, but really why would you want to leave off the best part? Please don't answer that.

I feel old this morning. Today started the school journey for another year. It is hard to believe that I have a 9th, 6th, and 4th grader. When did they get that big?

It really does seem like just yesterday that we were dropping our oldest off for his first half day of K5...and now he is a high schooler. I never believed people when they said time flies with kids...but I have come to realize that is a reality. I feel like if I blink he will be going off to college. And that makes me sad...which is way worse than feeling old btw. No wonder I like to put chocolate on everything!

BruCrew Top Ten

Happy happy Friday! I cannot believe this is THE last Friday of our summer vacation. It went by so quickly. Did anyone get through their summer bucket list? We definitely didn't get close to doing that kind of stuff...maybe it would have helped if we actually made a physical list. Put that on the mental list for next summer 🙂

I am off to do the last minute school supply and clothes shopping today. Wish me luck that it isn't all picked over.

I hope you enjoy all the instagrams and fun finds in todays post.

1. Last week we went hiking on our "retreat". Here are a few pictures from over the few days of "boot camp"...by the last day I think my husband was done with me taking pics of us.

Apple Biscoff Crumble Pizza

This Apple Biscoff Crumble Pizza is an easy dessert pizza that has a crazy amount of apples, Biscoff cookie spread, and Biscoff cookies on top.

Last night I sat down with our two younger children and asked them what game they wanted to play. In my head I'm thinking Uno, Candy Land, SkipBo...some sort of board game at least. The first thing out of both of their mouths was Wii. That was so not what I was expecting. But I really should have because we live in such a digital age now. I didn't grow up playing video games like ours have. So, I was able to convince them that we needed to play a few rounds of Uno first. Something easy that mom knows how to do.

Then we moved on to the Wii. We all agreed to try out some of the Wii Resort Sports. Turns out I am a master at the sword fighting, just ok at the wake boarding, and I down right stink at basketball. Maybe I need to "practice" more often.

I have a dessert recipe for you today that is kind of unexpected too. Well, I guess you kind of sort of always expect dessert around here, so that's not new.

This is one heck of a dessert pizza for you. I had a bag of Crunch Pak apples that needed used up. We love those bags of sliced apples. So I decided to make an apple crumble pizza for dessert. The unexpected part of this pizza is that I added some Biscoff spread under the apples. Then to get even more crazy...I added Biscoff cookie crumbs to my crumble.

Oh baby! It's a good thing this dessert was headed out of the house. I had a slice and was seriously contemplating hiding in the closet with the rest.

By now I think you have realized that I am a semi homemade kind of a baker. I have no shame in saying I love using mixes in my kitchen. Today is no different. Pillsbury pizza dough is my friend. I love being able to open a can of dough and roll it out and be done with that part. Now don't get me wrong, I love a good homemade crust, and my hubby actually has a great recipe for one, but...I'm one for looking for baking shortcuts whenever I get the chance.

Let's move on to the apples. You are going to saute them in butter. Yup, take the healthy good for you apples and douse them in melted butter. It's getting good in here now. Then add some sugar and cinnamon to the hot apples and let them sit.

For the topping, I started with a basic crumble topping, BUT I went one step further and crushed up some Biscoff cookies I had in my cupboard. Then after par baking the crust, I also added Biscoff spread on the crust before adding the apples and topping. It only takes another 15 minutes to bake, but I was pacing my kitchen. I couldn't wait to taste this bad boy!

Apple and Biscoff is one flavor combo that I am totally in love with. I still have more apples and Biscoff...what else should I make?

Caramel Macchiato Gooey Cake Bars

These easy cake mix bars are filled with caramel and plenty of chocolate chips to satisfy any sweet tooth. The iced coffee in the dough makes these Caramel Macchiato Gooey Cake Bars a great pick me up when you need it.

Last week my husband and I went on our church staff retreat with some of the other staff members. Wouldn't you expect a "retreat" to mean relaxing, enjoyable days? I have officially dubbed this trip a boot camp. There was not very much relaxing going on this week. They had us out mountain biking in the woods, up hill both ways 😉 Then we did a 12 miles hike to see some waterfalls and caves. Believe me, my legs were like jello every day.

At least we had pans of dessert to come back to each night. [Read more...]

Take 5 Cheesecake Brownies

Eating cheesecake that takes after a candy bar is definitely something you want to try. Wait until you take a bite of these Take 5 Cheesecake Brownies. You will always want your brownies this way.

What can I say? I couldn't help but make another cheesecake recipe for you. Especially with it being National Cheesecake Day and all. This is definitely a day that had to be celebrated for sure. We just love making cheesecake over here a little too much.

Have you seen this Strawberrylicious Chocolate Cheesecake or this Mocha Oreo Cheesecake? Those were some of the very first cheesecake creations that we have come up with...and we haven't stopped since then.
