Fruity Pebbles Treats

It has been an exhausting day in our house today. My daughter woke up late last night with the worst cold ever and ended up sleeping in our bed with us all night. Well, I guess I should say she slept...the hubby and I, not so much. That being said I was looking for something yummy and quick to make for the family today. Luckily I had just the thing lined up, Fruity Pebble Treats.

They are super quick and easy and so very yummy! My husband requested them a couple of weeks ago and seeing as they take 10 minutes max, they seemed just perfect for my blog post today.

Fruit Pebble Treats

12 servings

1/4 cup butter or margarine

1 package of regular sized marshmallows

5 cups fruity pebbles

In a deep pan melt the butter/margarine on low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring constantly so that it does not burn. Pour in the fruity pebbles and stir until well mixed. Pour the mixture out into a greased 9x13 baking dish.

I chose to drizzle a bit of melted chocolate on top to kind of jazz them up. Put a handful of chocolate chips in a ziploc baggie. Pop it into the microwave on 50% power for 30-45 seconds, keeping a close eye so you don't end up with a huge mess. Remove and cut a small hole into the corner of the baggie, then squeeze the melted chocolate out over top and pop in the fridge until cooled.

Easy Bread Machine White Bread

About 6 months ago, I made the very difficult decision to leave my long-time job at Lower Columbia College for the opportunity to work at University of Portland, which had been a dream of mine for quite a while. During my last few days at LCC, one of my co-workers and friends asked me if I would finally be able to resume my blog and share recipes since I was going from a 40 hour work-week to a 35 hour work-week. At the time, I told him I wasn’t sure but that I would certainly try! Well, it has been 6 months...and all that extra time ended up consumed with a new obsession - gardening! (I’m sure there will be more about that new adventure in the future.) Anyway, I still haven’t been all that active with baking lately but I think this is the perfect opportunity to change that, if for no other reason, than it has been almost impossible to even buy bread in the town of Woodland right now! Lol Which leads me to my post today - we’re making bread! And though I will end up making many

Easy Fudgy Brownies

I’m sure many of us are craving some comfort foods at this time - I base this of course on the fact that it seems that the baking aisle in every grocery store I have gone into since March 15th has been mostly empty of even the very basic of supplies - flour, yeast, brownie mix…It is getting better but short of going to literally every grocery store from here to Portland which makes me just a tad bit nervous and completely defeats the point of limiting time out in public, there appears to be a very small selection in pre-made mixes; and if I’m being honest, boxed mix is usually my go to for brownies! That being said, luckily I have a selection of brownie recipes I regularly use and like with supplies I normally stock in my pantry. For those of you craving a good fudgy brownie and lacking in mix like me, here is a from scratch brownie recipe that is not only super easy but dirties very few dishes. Enjoy!

Homemade Cinnamon Rolls...from scratch!

Tuesdays are our lazy days around our house. I don't work until the afternoon and my daughter doesn't have school, so it is kind of the day that we sleep in, have a yummy breakfast and get a few things done around the house. This Tuesday, I decided to make it extra special and make homemade cinnamon rolls...from scratch! I don't think there is any better breakfast than a delicious hot from the oven cinnamon roll that you made with your very own hands. Plus, I had some leftover cream cheese frosting that tasted just like Cinnabon's frosting...so yeah, basically best breakfast EVER! lol Our ingredients... Add your milk, oil, and sugar to a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until just below boiling. Sprinkle on the yeast and allow to sit for a minute. Stir in the 4 cups of flour. Allow to sit covered with a kitchen towel for an hour in a warm place. then stir in the last 1/2 cup flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Place in a large bowl and r
