Please excuse me if I take a moment to brag on my son today. Last weekend, he competed in the State Junior Olympics.
Pfeffernussen – German “Pepper Nut” Cookies
Pfeffernussen are traditional German cookies. Mildly sweet and full of flavor, these are a holiday favorite!
Salted Nutella Fudge
This Salted Nutella Fudge not only takes advantage of the sweet hazelnut and chocolate flavor, but makes a great gift from the kitchen.
Snickerdoodles
Homemade Snickerdoodle cookies are a classic and you will love how simply delicious these are!
Portuguese Sweet Bread (with Recipe Video)
This delicious bread is such a treat in our house. It is lightly sweet, soft, and delicious. By the time I am done baking the second loaf, the first one is usually almost gone!
How to Make Classic Sausage Gravy
Biscuits and Gravy is a favorite dish around here – and made more often for “Breakfast for Dinner” than for actual breakfast! Here is how to make this simple partner for your biscuits.
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
There’s nothing more yummy than homemade chocolate peanut butter cups – and they make a great gift from your kitchen, too!
Baked Hot Wings
These easy baked hot wings are the perfect addition to an appetizer table or enjoy them as a main dish with a kick!
Hearty Moose Meatball Stew
This meatball stew is the perfect dish to keep your tummy warm and filled on a cold Alaskan (or anywhere) winter evening.
But don’t worry, I made this recipe with ground beef for years before ever making it with moose. You can do the same.
Pumpkin Biscotti with Cream Cheese Drizzle
Enjoy these deliciously scrumptious biscotti with your morning coffee. Or your afternoon tea. Or whatever your poison happens to be!
German Apple Pie
A decadent twist on tradition, this German Apple Pie features a flaky, golden crust cradling tender apples spiced with cinnamon. Plump raisins, soaked in rich rum, add a warm depth of flavor to each bite.
Inspiring Creativity in Homeschooling
Everyone has their own method to their madness called homeschooling. One of the subjects that I often hear people struggling with is how to incorporate some sort of art into their school day.
Rustic Apple Galette
A galette is a free-form type of pie that you don’t even need a pie plate to make it in. You simply form the dough around the filling and bake it on a sheet. It is rustic and delicious.
Mocha Brownie Cookies
Moist and chewy cookies with the rich flavor of chocolate and coffee together – you’ll love these Mocha Brownie Cookies.
I’m a Glutton for Punishment
Since we moved to Alaska, I seriously have given up the idea of EVER getting a good night’s sleep on a regular basis.
Moose Chili for Tailgating Season
Rich and satisfying Moose Chili. No moose meat? No problem! This is perfect with beef or venison instead.
Harvesting a Moose
Just a gentle reminder…harvesting an animal is not pretty business. If you are weak-stomached, or don’t know where meat comes from, this is your final warning to skip this post.

Opening Day of Moose Season
Over the weekend, my husband and sons and I, headed out to Fort Greely…around a hundred miles south of where we live, to go on a hunting trip.
