We’ve always driven by and quickly through, but in all the years I have lived in Utah, I’ve never actually spent the time to visit the Bryce Canyon.

Shortbread Cookies

After trying an abundance of combinations, this is the recipe I use as a base for all my shortbread cookies. I love eating these warm and straight out of the oven, but I especially love dipping these in a cup of hot tea, hot coffee, or hot chocolate. Please give this recipe a try, I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I do!

Favorite Christmas Movies

While there are a ton of Christmas movies to choose from, there are always a few movies I must watch every single year. Some may argue a few of the listed movies aren’t quite “Christmas”. To me, if the movie is involved with the holiday, then it’s a Christmas movie!

Here are a few of my/our favorite movies to watch during the Christmas holiday season.

Christmas Stockings

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I can finally concentrate on Christmas! I do have a little bit of shopping left to do though. Specifically, stocking stuffers. Here are some of my ideas so far.

Friendsgiving 2019

If you're looking to support a local, family owned establishment serving appetizing American fare, I highly recommend Hub & Spoke Diner. You won't be disappointed!

Coffee with Sweetened Condensed Milk

Some days I like my coffee black, other days just a bit of sugar and a splash of cream, but most usually, bittersweet with sweetened condensed milk. If you haven’t yet tried coffee with sweetened condensed milk, you are totally missing out!
