Time Out for Women {Idaho Falls}

I love myself a great Girls Weekend.  Usually its filled with great food, girl talk and no kids.  This weekend was a little like this but so much more.  For those of you who don't know I am a Mormon.  I blog like all the rest of my crazy, crafty, blogger friends. And I am Mormon.  I love my faith and practices its teachings.  One of the great things about where I live and is there is a large populations of LDS members here.  Because of the large population we have opportunities to attend church related  engagements.  One such engagement is Time Out For Women (TOFW). Time Out for Women is a weekend gathering of women to listen and be uplifted through speakers, music and service.

So I teamed up with these amazing friends and attended TOFW. It was an awesome experience.  

Here is what I needed to hear!!

Homemade Croutons {Recipe}

Salad Season is on its way. I can feel it!  Fresh fruits and vegetables are just waiting to spring up in home gardens every where.  And who doesn't love yummy croutons to top off their salad.  I love to make Chef and Cesar salads in the summer for my family with fresh homemade croutons. A few years back I was in a class with a chef who shared his homemade croutons. They are simple and easy.  They have no preservatives (which isn't a problem cuz they probably won't even make it to a ziploc for later.) These yummy little croutons could even become your evening snack like popcorn only better.

Girls Inspiration Collage Wall + Free Printable

I have been working on a little something for my daughter. Growing up is tough.  I want her to have strong role models that lift her up and make her feel good about herself, to always look for the good, have courage, know that beauty is not everything and when hard times come, to know that she can do it.

  I love collage walls. So I decided to combine my collage wall with a few inspirational quotes. The collage wall will serve as daily reminder of what she is capable of.

Chicken BLT Salad + Kraft Fresh Take = Delicious!

Recently I had the opportunity to try the new Kraft Fresh Take.  Have you seen those in the store? You can find them in the bagged cheese section of your local Walmart. Kraft Fresh Take are Cheese and flavored bread crumbs to make any dish just that much better.  I had seen them and wondered how they tasted.  With lots of flavors to choose from I took the plunge and bought a few to try. With salad season coming I needed a few new ideas.  I came up with a few old salads made new.
