Somersaults Sunflower Seed Crunchy Bites

Sometimes, you want something more than chips. Maybe more substantial, maybe something with more flavor, maybe just something different. This is when we turn to Somersaults!

Apple Cider Salted Caramels

The taste of fall you never knew you needed in your life. Ever since I was a little kid, I have been going to a local apple orchard known as Tuttle Orchards.  I have always loved it, so much so that I have worked there for the last three fall seasons on the weekends.  The best…

Teal Pumpkin Project

It’s October, the time when the minds of little ones (and not-so-little ones) turn to the fun and festivities of Halloween.  Whether Halloween parties at school, trick-or-treating with friends, or doing Trunk-n-Treat/Harvest Festival at a local church, it’s a time of costumes, fun, games, and most importantly… CANDY! I loved Halloween as a kid.  I…

Chocolate Avocado Mousse

My world has been turned upside down.  2+2= yellow and I’m totally ok with that. I’m pretty sure that I’m one of the only people in the country that doesn’t like avocado.  I know all the health benefits, and I know it’s super popular, but I just can’t get over the taste. Blasphemy, I know….

You’ve got this!

You know how when you are told you can’t eat something, that’s all you want?  The doctor says to watch your fat intake, and the only thing you want to eat is a bacon sandwich with bacon bread topped with bacon spread and followed with a side of bacon fries (minus the potato). Or maybe you…

Not long ago, I received an email from the good people at Enjoy Life foods.  They had found my humble little blog and read of my love for their products.  (By the way, if you aren’t familiar with Enjoy Life yet, check them out.  All of their products are free of the Top 8 allergens…

Crescent Cinnamon Rolls!

A delicious breakfast, and you don’t even have to go to the airport! It seems to be general knowledge that you should bake cookies if you are trying to sell a house.  The smell of baking cookies evokes a feeling of home.  If you ask me, though, you would be better off making cinnamon rolls….

Watermelon Pineapple Ice Pops

So simple…. and so delicious! You guys.  Seriously.  These ice pops…… Ok, so it’s summer in the American Midwest.  If you aren’t familiar with Midwest, let me clue you in.  It’s hot.  I mean, HOT.  Now, I know we’ve got nothing on Arizona or New Mexico in the heat department, but they cannot compete with…

Support

I want to tell you a story…. A few weeks ago, we went on vacation. Packing with kids is always a challenge. Packing with kids with health issues is a whole different level. We have to pack medicine, mixing-shaker bottles (for formula), various medicated creams (so… many… creams…..)…. fortunately we are on a hiatus from…

Dark Chocolate Fudge

For when you need chocolate yesterday… I have a friend who doesn’t like chocolate.  We try not to talk about it. I cannot comprehend not liking chocolate.  I get that everyone has preferences, and maybe you prefer something else, and some people can’t eat chocolate… but to just not like it at all?  I just…
