Bull Hill Guest Ranch Weekend Getaway

June 18, 2013 By Tammilee 12 Comments

This past weekend we spent an amazing two days at Bull Hill Guest Ranch. Bull Hill Ranch is a guest ranch located about 2 hours north of Spokane near the Canadian Border. The ranch has been in the Guglielmino family for well over 100 years. The guest ranch sits on top of a hill overlooking Lake Roosevelt and some truly amazing Washington scenery. I can’t tell you how many times I lost myself in the view and just gazed over the hillside.

As we drove up the hill to Bull Hill Ranch my mind started wandering and wondering what the weekend would be like. I have to admit that I am not a horse person. I love the outdoors but really do not enjoy being near horses. I was not sure what it would be like being on a ranch as a non-horse person but it was wonderful. There is so much to do at Bull Hill that does not include horses. I even tried my hand at skeet shooting which rocked! I am happy to say that I hit 2 out of 4 skeet which I thought wasn’t too bad for my first time skeet shooting. [Read more...]

Raspberry Coffee Cake Recipe

June 18, 2013 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

I love using cake mixes to make super easy recipes. This Raspberry Coffee Cake Recipe uses a white cake mix and is so easy to make.

I have to tell you the house smells so amazing as this is baking. I had a hard time waiting for it to cool down before trying a bite. I love the combination of raspberries and coffee cake. Two of my favorite things combined to make a luscious treat.

A few of my other favorite cake recipes are this Mandarin Orange Angel Food Cake, Lemon Cream Cake, Pineapple Angel Food Cake, and Apple Dump Cake. Each of these recipes are really easy to make and taste fantastic. I love that the Angel Food Cake Recipes only take 2 ingredients.

June 18, 2013 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

Woohoo!! We are only a couple of weeks away from the Lone Ranger hitting movie theaters! I can not wait to see this movie. Everything I see a preview or behind the scenes info I get even more excited. Did you see the guys on the Bachelorette going through Cowboy Boot Camp last week? They did a very similar boot camp to what Armie Hammer and Johnny Depp went through.

Here is a great video that Disney shared with us. This video shares some behind the scenes footage of Armie Hammers Cowboy Boot Camp. [Read more...]

Tex Mex Velveeta Shells and Cheese Recipe and great savings with Kraft Coupons!

June 17, 2013 By Tammilee Leave a Comment

A big thank you to Kraft for sponsoring our post about Tex Mex Velveeta Shells and Cheese Recipe and great savings with Kraft Coupons as part of sponsored post for Collective Bias.

John and I spent this past weekend road tripping along Lake Roosevelt. I don’t know about you but when we end up spending hours on end together in the car we start talking about random topics. One topics that came up this weekend was food combinations that we love. John mentioned how much he loves Velveeta Shells and Cheese with Ro-tel. I am pretty sure he would eat this for dinner any chance he can. I love making Velveeta Shells and Cheese since I can set a aside a plain bowl for me and then make John a fun bowl with his favorite toppings. Can you tell we have very different tastes in food!

When we got back from spending the weekend traveling I knew I needed to head to the grocery store and stock up on groceries. We have been traveling so much the past few weeks that my fridge was looking mighty bare and needed some serious help. The first thing I do before any grocery shopping trip is go through my coupons and look for printable coupons. I love being able to save money on the groceries we want to pick up with online printable coupons.

I found a fantastic coupon for $1.00 off any 2 Velveeta Shells and Cheese! Woohoo!! After printing all of the coupons I needed it was time to head to Walmart for our grocery shopping adventure. [Read more...]

5 Amazing Fudge Recipes

June 16, 2013 By Tammilee 1 Comment

Today is National Fudge Day! To help celebrate this wonderful holiday here are 5 of our favorite Fudge Recipes!

There is nothing quite like biting into a piece of seriously yummy fudge!

I was really nervous the first time I made fudge. I had always heard that it is really hard to make and you can mess it up really easily. I let these warnings detour me from making fudge for years until I finally decided it was time to try it. What is the worst that could happen…I could burn it or it might not set but oh well that is what the garbage can is for.

I am happy to say I have mastered my fear of fudge, which may not be a good thing for my waistline, and enjoy making it now.

Key Lime Fudge is crazy easy to make and tastes amazing! You don’t even have to turn on the oven which is a crazy bonus! [Read more...]

Ignoring my fears and going to the top of the CN Tower Toronto

June 14, 2013 By Tammilee 1 Comment

While I was in Toronto I ignored my fears and went to the top of the CN Tower Toronto.

I had an amazing view of the CN Tower from my hotel room and thought it would be interesting to check out one of the worlds highest towers. I was so excited as we walked toward the CN Tower and looked up to see how high it was.

The observation deck you can see in this picture is 1136 feet in the air or 113 stories high and it is not the highest point….. [Read more...]
