October 30, 2013 by Mel and Boys Kitchen + 6 Comments

How cute are these super easy Jack O' Lantern Mandarin Orange Cups?!  Today was my 4 year old's preschool Halloween party, and I was supposed to bring a treat to the party.  I worked 12 hours yesterday, I had a doctor's appointment this morning, I'm pregnant {enough said}, then I visited our dad in the hospital and let's face it… sometimes there just isn't time for a fabulous homemade treat,

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
