I have an addiction to label makers and cute paper, not to mention sharpies!! My poor family puts up with my crazy organizing days where I’ve had a bit too much coffee (really is there such a thing as too much) and I deep clean drawers and closets. My day to day life revolves around structure … haha NOT !

If my little guy could pick what he got to eat for breakfast everyday it would be Waffles (or Pancakes) and Chocolate Chips…lots and lots of chocolate chips !!

I remember the first time my boyfriend (now hubby) made me his family’s recipe of meat and cheese ball. It was horrible !!! Ok maybe that is a little harsh…… it was just different from my usual wheat grass and no processed food religion. This odd food he fed me was a fantastic mixture of cheese and savory salty meat. I knew it was wrong; but I couldn’t stop stuffing my face with this snack. Now 15 years later I have made more cheese ball than I can remember. It tends to be a recipe that I hand out the most at pilot gatherings since it is so easy even a pilot can make it !
Caution this “dip” is addicting and you won’t be able to eat just one bite! Cheese Ball
Fruit Pizza is my way of pretending I am eating healthy. All of the fruit cancels out the sugar right 😉
Trying to find plane food for the bush pilots is hard ….well not really they will pretty much eat anything after being out in the Alaska Bush for a few weeks. Step one find a finger food that is not too messy since they are in the air the majority of the day with no where to wash up. That does not need to be kept warm or cold during the drastic temperature changes that an unpressurised airplane faces between take off and landing. That will be filling and not take up too much space in their flight bag…… conclusion – Pretzel Bites ! – With a little help from my bread machine a tasty plane snack is always just a few hours away from landing.

I have come to the realization that no matter how “convenient” it may be to just buy bread or buns from the store they just taste awful! Why buy processed when you can make your own at home. I love using my bread machine to make more bread at home without having to devote my entire day to kneading and mixing dough….. Hamburger Buns
We are up to 18 hours of light in our rural AK village. Gaining almost 6 min of light a day makes it hard to convince the little one that even though its light outside at 11pm it’s still time to sleep. Warm milk and honey is a great way to switch from play time to bed time ! Sweet Dream Milk
When my husband challenged me with making a pie that wasn’t a dessert pie I accepted the challenge and created a filling dish that was perfect for a snowy April day. Artichoke and Spinach Pie
So excited for GOT to be back on the air. In bush Alaska we take the opportunity of a fun show to have a weekly theme dinner. While it was hard to get dragon blood this time of year in Alaska these cupcakes make a great addition to the menu anytime !
