My niece makes a yummy dessert that she calls cheesecake sopapillas. She uses crescent rolls and cream cheese and an assortment of other ingredients. She's really good at making it and it's a treat that our whole family enjoys.
When she makes them, my husband and I like to have a cup of coffee with them. I was recently invited to try out Smart & Final's Ambiance line of coffee products, and I thought this would be a great time to try my own version of Courtney's sopapillas. With her

My Iced Coffee Gift for a Favorite Food Blogger
Remember how I made homemade marshmallows with Iced Coffee? I was sent new International Delight Iced Coffee to try and I liked it so much that I was inspired to see if it would work in making coffee marshmallows...and it did work!
One of the perks of being chosen to try this new Iced Coffee, is that I was able to share the coffee love with another blogger. I was able to pick a blogger of my choice and they would also be sent three 1/2 gallons of International Delight Iced Coffee.
Take and Bake Pizza Makeover
Let's say you want to have pizza, but don't want to make it homemade. But, you are looking to save some money, so having a couple pizzas delivered isn't the best option for you either.
If you are like our family, you might pick up a "take and bake" pizza.

Most of my family is happy with the options available (the typical
WinCo Foods Grocery Store coming to Las Vegas!
Yes, I get excited about things like grocery stores opening. And if there was one grocery store I wanted to have open in Las Vegas, it's WinCo Foods.
A couple years ago, while living in Virginia, I was talking to my sister-in-law (who lives where I used to live) on the phone and I asked her where she does most of her grocery shopping at. She said that she usually shopped at Winco. Huh? What's a WinCo? There was no WinCo's in our town before I left and I had never heard of them. She told me a

My New KitchenAid Stand Mixer!
Every time I look at it on my counter top, I can't believe that I actually own one, but it's true...I do. I am the proud owner of a new, shiny red KitchenAid Stand Mixer!
This KitchenAid came to me as a complete surprise from my dad. Now, if you know my dad, you know that he is an extremely frugal person. He's VERY careful about his purchases and not an impulsive buyer at all. This is completely out of the ordinary for him and so unexpected. We were talking on the phone one day and he asked

This year has been full of big changes for my family and I. Several big changes were a little scary, but they were those things that you just knew in your gut was the right thing to do. It feels good to take a leap of faith and know it's worked out for the best.
One of the big changes I made in 2011 was blogging more. I officially started blogging in 2004. It was a simple blog, just full of daily family things. From there, I progressed and started working on several other blogs, but
