Honduras 2011

My beautiful niece Alizalyn

My first pair of baby booties i've made! :)   SO cute, huh?

I made her little outfit, she looks adorable

Kite Festival in St. George

This recipe is DELICIOUS! If you are a fanny of the salty sweet flavour, this is for you.  My friend Kenna made this recently and I just had to make one for the neighbors and my family. Such a big hit!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie

Recipe from Nestle

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust, homemade or store-bought.

2 large eggs

1/2 C flour

1/2 C white granulated sugar

1/2 C packed brown sugar

3/4 C real butter, softened (1 1/2 sticks)

1 C chocolate chips (semi-sweet or dark works best, you might find milk too sweet)

1 C chopped pecans (you are welcome to make it without nuts)


Vanilla ice cream, or sweetened whipped cream for serving (a must! I prefer ice cream)

optional: chocolate sauce (honestly, doesn’t really need chocolate sauce, but it looks pretty!)

Preheat oven to 325° F.


Beat eggs in large mixer bowl on high speed until foamy. Beat in flour, granulated sugar and brown sugar. Beat in butter. Stir in morsels and nuts. Spoon into pie shell.


Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until knife inserted halfway between edge and center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack or serve slightly warmed. Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.



*There have been several comments about pies turning out runny. First and foremost, follow the instructions, completely (no margarine or anything from a tub!) I’ve made a million of these and never had that happen so I have no idea. The recipe is correct as written, it comes straight from Nestle!

And..its time to indulge in this delicious chocolately treat!

One of my favorite foods I ate in Honduras.  I love to make them at home now.

Homemade Corn Tortillas

Scrambled Eggs

 Re fried Beans

 Mix it together and add cheese.

Put the bean, cheese, and egg mixture on top of the corn tortillas and enjoy.  You can also add sour cream or my personal favorite is fresh squeezed lime on top.

What photography means to me and some of my own

Photography to me.. An out.  A way for me to express myself.  A way to explore creativity.  A way for other people to see a view of life through my eyes.  A way to capture all the world has to offer.  A facial expression stuck in time. A way to replay the emotions of life.   A visual of the color that surrounds us.  A way to experience the small details.  A way for me to be an individual.  An artistic expression.  A way for me to become one with someone, something, or some place.  A way to understand a story. A way to hold onto memories.  A way to go on an adventure that you may not have the opportunity to go on. A way to view Gods creations in all shapes, sizes, forms, designs, and structures.  A way to study beauty.  A way to travel back in time. A way to express the complexities of the human mind that can't be said through words.  A way to use the grand design of the human eye.  A way to find hidden mysteries.
