Ohh Fudge!

If you are from the West Coast you know all about SEE's candy.  Anything with the simple See's label is going to be absolutely amazing from their caramel lollipops, melt in your mouth Almond Rocca, or creamy pieces of fudge. Well, the great news is you don't have to go to a See's candy store to get this tantalizing Christmas classic. You can make this foolproof fudge in your own kitchen. And if your family is anything like mine, this will be one of the Christmas standards everyone will ... View the Post

Strawberry Crisp So Tasty You’ll Be Tempted To Lick Your Plate!

You know summer is getting close when the days start getting longer and insulated boots get traded in for flip-flops. But for me, nothing says summer is around the corner like baskets of red sun-ripened strawberries from the grocery story, or better yet, fresh from a local fruit stand or field. When I saw berries for sale, I knew that I needed to make something that highlighted that distinct fruit flavor.  I looked up several recipes that featured strawberries from salads, to crepes, to ...

A Time For Everything..Including Baking! Recipe for Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

Is it just me or did we just skip February?  I am amazed at how fast 2017 is rolling and I am afraid it is just going to pick up speed from here! Well, a bit of catch up from my last post. I had a huge 10-day book/author tour that resulted in stopping at seven schools and a book club. I also took my canning supplies and canned several batches of lemon curd with one of my favorite peeps, dipped pretzels with a few adorable girls, visited several dear friends, had time with our ...

Ahh NUTS! – Recipe for Cinnamon-Sugar Coated Almonds

When I saw these yummy sugar cinnamon coated nuts splashed across my FaceBook page, I knew I had to make them. Then I read that they were made in a crock pot. Seriously! Isn't a crock pot for chili and pot roasts? So I picked up a 3 lb bag of raw almonds at Costco, pulled out my crockpot, and made sure I had at least 4 hours to complete the task. Because I wanted to do a lighter sugar coating, I added twice the nuts that were called for and my family loved them. Hey, who needs MORE sugar ... View the Post

Making these amazing treats will be a huge with your friends and family. Andy, when they find out you made it in your crock pot they are going to go nuts. Literally! These treats are a bit time consuming so make a double batch and be prepared to have the best smelling home on the block!

Cranberry Pumpkin Bread Pudding..oh yeah!

This year I totally went wild with pumpkin recipes. I have always loved the comforting taste of pumpkin in bread, cookies, and soup. For some people, Fall hasn't officially started until they see pumpkin drinks added to their favorite cafe's menu board. When I tried to make pumpkin puree from an actual pumpkin versus just opening a can I was totally hooked! There was no comparison to the taste, color, and texture. If you use canned pumpkin, there is not judgment here, but I am just telling ... View the Post

Baked Apple with a Caramel on Top!

Apples! Apples! Apples!   It seems like I just can't get enough of that amazing fruit. Here is a super easy and very classy baked apple recipe with a special twist that would have delighted Johnny Appleseed. Top with whipped cream or serve on a caramel drizzled plate and you have a dessert that is gluten-free and full of flavor. Start with baking apples. They are denser in texture and usually have a tart flavor.  If you are not sure which one is best, ask the grocer or farmer which ... View the Post

welcome It is hard to talk about me, without talking about us!    The Seither Family.  John and I have been married for over twenty five years. From the day we said “I do”, it has been quite an adventure.  One of the biggest things people notice about our family is the size. Yes, there are six kids, proof that  God has a sense of humor. I tell people that ask if we are done with six. “No” I promptly reply. “We were done at four! But the last two were too cute to send back.” Read More
