Easter Rice Krispy Nests

April 5, 2017 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Every Monday night we have 'Family Home Evening' a night dedicated to strengthening our family and love of God and Jesus Christ.  We start and end with prayer, sing songs, read scriptures, share ideas, sometimes play a game or watch a fun video (like these ones) and we ALWAYS have a treat!  I think that the treat is my boys favorite part of the night.  We switch off assignments for

Happy Friday Sweet Friends! At our house Friday is pizza night and my husband and boys look forward to it EVERY week.  If I try to change things up, no one is happy about it:)  Sometimes I make pizza from scratch (using one of these recipes) and sometimes I order a couple of pies from our favorite local pizzaria, but lately our favorite pizza has been this quick and easy version using Naan as

Italian Parmesan Pretzel Knots

Well, Spring has 'sprung' here in the South and I could not be happier about it!  I wake up to the sweet sound of birds chirping every morning and lots of tulips have emerged in my yard!  JOY!  How are things in your neck of the woods?  Do you see any signs of Spring yet?  There is something about Spring that is just so happy!  All the blossoms, and new leaves and pretty tulips....I love it!

Did you know that today is national Pi Day?  I am really not a math person, but I LOVE to celebrate this day with my boys!  It is the perfect excuse to have a delicious pie like this Easy Fresh Strawberry Pie and to have a fun discussion with my boys about Pi.  So in case you didn't know, Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.  It is rounded up because the actual ratio

Quick Cinnamon Roll Biscuits (no rising time)

March 7, 2017 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + Leave a Comment

Have you ever been in the mood for cinnamon rolls but not in the mood for waiting the hours it takes to proof the dough and let the rolls rise?  So many times my boys will request them when I ask what they want for a weekend breakfast and I have to break the news that they are not an option, since I would have had to start them the night before.  Now with this Quick Cinnamon Roll Biscuits recipe

Lemon Brownies or Lemonies

Hello friends!  Did you have some crazy weather this week?  We sure did here in the South.  On Wednesday the kids were out of school because of the threat of bad winds and tornado watch.  That is always a bit unnerving to hear.  Thankfully, the day ended up being strange with gray rumbling skies and some light rain but nothing else!  Today the weather has made a complete turn around with blue

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
