Lakeside Retreat and Salted Caramel Sauce Recipe

  Big News!  I have a new book coming out in June but it is already up on Amazon for pre-orders, just click the picture in the sidebar or visit Amazon here. Last weekend I went to a local coffee/gift shop here in Gallatin, TN, and handed out a Lakeside Retreat-inspired recipe for Gingerbread Cake. Seriously, the recipe is so good, I already made another cast iron skillet of the yummy cake. Actually, we also ate it for breakfast it was irresistible. But the key to this cake's ... View the Post

In the Meadow We Can Build a Snowman! craft tutorial

There is something whimsical and nostalgic about snowmen! When we lived in the Sierra Mountains the first snow was usually celebrated by having a pajama day, followed by plenty of hot cocoa, and running barefoot around the lawn just to see if you could endure the cold for one lap around the house...something invented by our boys. Go figure. We would make big snowmen every year, complete with a carrot nose, stocking cap, and scarf. Stick hands protruded out each side of the usually lopsided ... View the Post

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

DIY Cheese Crackers that are out of this world!

For anyone who grew up watching Star Wars, May the 4th has become a fun geeky day to reminisce the often iconic, "May the Force be with you."   I did a little background check on George Lucas, the filmmaker who gave us not only Star Wars but also the Indiana Jones movies. George grew up in Modesto, CA and  wanted to be a race car driver, however all that changed after a near fatal accident right before he graduated from High School.  He realized a new passion after enrolling in a local ...

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
