by Kelly J. Larson Salad dressing is the most important part of a salad or rice bowl or anything that is brought together with a dressing, in my opinion. There’s nothing more magical on a salad than freshly homemade dressing. My crew and I enjoy all the cuisine that Chick Fil-A has to offer including […]

by Kelly J. Larson Bar cookies have become my latest craze. Recently a friend requested chocolate chip cookie bars with chocolate frosting for her daughter’s birthday. These chocolate chip cookie bars are perfect to me, simply cut up and eaten without the frosting, but we all have our own indulgences, right? My idea of a […]

by Kelly J. Larson Sugar Cookie bars with sprinkles are buttery, soft and party-ready with tinted cream cheese frosting topped with colorful sprinkles. Ideal for making in advance, these sugar cookie bars are the perfect cross between cupcakes and roll-out sugar cookies. Bake ahead a few days before your event, then store them in the […]

by Kelly J. Larson My 15-year-old daughter attends an early morning seminary class before high school, with two amazing teachers who alternate each week providing New Testament instruction and inspiration on a daily basis. In addition to this spiritual feeding, one of her teachers served the teenagers her family’s traditional Christmas Morning Casserole for breakfast […]

by Kelly J. Larson Like anything, freshly made is almost always better than from a jar at the grocery store. I made this tangy and tart lemon curd for the first time and will probably never buy it off the shelves again — it’s so good homemade and much less expensive. I plan to add […]

by Kelly J. Larson It’s one month before Saint Patrick’s Day when I typically make corned beef and cabbage for dinner at least once. The anticipation for our March 17 dynamic duo grows as the shift in decor turns from red to green. A few days ago, my jaw dropped when I saw a Traeger […]

by Kelly J. Larson I don’t buy a lot of precooked meals, but I have been known to stock up on Banquet chicken pot pies to feed the family on super busy nights when it feels like there is no time to cook. This is a more fancy version and loads more tasty. I still […]

by Kelly J. Larson Muffins are a breakfast indulgence that get a green light for being slightly healthy since they often have fruit in them. I love to bake and to devour muffins and continue to amp up my stash of muffin recipes on Kelly’s Kitchen Creation. Glazed Strawberry Muffins are similar to my GLAZED […]

by Kelly J. Larson My friend, Chantima, made lemony citrus crinkle cookies a few days ago and I couldn’t stop thinking of them. I baked a batch late last night, then found happy taste testers today at Isaac’s school and can’t wait to share the recipe here. They are so good! I’ll add more photos […]

by Kelly J. Larson My best friend from Southgate Elementary in Moore, Oklahoma, and I reconnected recently after three decades. Lisa brought an incredible artichoke dip over to my mom’s house while I was there visiting. Lisa’s wonderful appetizer was almost identical to THIS one. My newest, creamy artichoke dip creation is inspired by Lisa […]
