Design Guide: Easter Brunch Decor



Easter is a special time of the year for us where we reflect on the resurrection of Christ.  We spend the morning at Church and then come home for a nice Easter brunch with the family.  I have collected so many pieces of Easter decor over the years - it'll be nice to pull everything out again this year to decorate.  Here are some pretty pieces that I'm considering adding to my collection.

Food Guide: Delicious Pasta Dishes


Pasta dishes are the perfect comfort food in our house.  Our family loves them especially on chilly winter nights.  Here are some of our favorite ones - especially the Spiral Pasta with Ham & Peas.  Another favorite is having leftover pasta for breakfast - it makes for a filling meal for the start of the day.  Perfect for the kids - the husband and I will usually opt for some oatmeal instead.

Kahala Resort - Best Sticky Buns Recipe



Good morning Lovelies!  Have I got a treat for you today!  The wonderful chef at Kahala Resort has shared their famous sticky buns recipe with us!  With only 6 ingredients - it takes only 5 minutes to assemble and the rest of the next 18 minutes - you will spend drooling in anticipation of eating these sticky and gooey and mouth watering sticky buns.  

Ingredients:

One can of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls
1 stick of unsalted butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup pecans

Preheat oven to 375.   Cream the butter and the sugars.  Drizzle honey in and mix well.  Distribute the pecans evenly amongst the muffin tin.  Add a good sized dollop of buttery goodness on top of the pecans and top it off with a cinnamon roll.  Bake for 18-20 minutes.  Flip them out and serve immediately.  

Sorry - I do not know the calorie count nor will I even make an attempt to figure it out.  I cannot be held responsible if you eat the whole platter because they are really that good.  Good thing maxi dresses are in this summer!  Or if you're just gonna have one - then these pretty swimsuits are definitely waiting for you.  


See?  Just 6 ingredients!  Easiest sticky buns you'll ever make! 


 Cream the butter and the sugars


Drizzle in the honey and mix well while scraping down the sides.




Add pecans into muffin tin and spoon the butter/sugar mixture into each well.


Drop a cinnamon roll onto each mixture.


Flip them out immediately and enjoy!  Don't forget to lick your fingers!!

Fun Kitchen Tools and Accessories

Cooking is so much more fun when you have the right tools - and sometimes, you just need some fun kitchen tools at hand.  I love to involve my kids in cooking so having some easy to use tools for little hands makes all the difference in getting them to help out.

Strawberry Roses for Valentine's Day


What little things do you do to make Valentine's Day special?  I made some strawberry roses this morning while my little man was running around the kitchen- so easy to do! Insert a straw or stick to use as the stem. Then holding it upright, start cutting into the base - going all the way around the strawberry. Next level up, stagger the cuts by a little bit - repeat until you get to the top.  Pull down gently on the "rose petals" to flare it out a bit and you've got a strawberry rose!
