Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: I’m in chapter 6 of Positive Psychology and though no through the entire chapter, the one about social support is really interesting. Basically, social support during good times and bad times actually nearly trumped “not smoking” in indicators of well-being. I’m not saying go out and smoke… but just that social support was …
Book update: I started “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn which is supposed to be a huge hit, but even set in good, ol’ Missouri it isn’t doing anything for me. I’m only on page 20 though and I’m sick with a cold, so maybe I’m just irritable because of the sinus headache. I should have …
Books I’m reading: “Wait for Me” (a free Kindle book) and “Peace Like a River” by Leif Enger. “Peace Like a River” is a really good story with a lot of literary devices (symbols, themes, foreshadowing, etc.). Though the devices and the style make the book not exactly conversational and a breeze to read through, …
I have a few new recipes to post and a craft I am working on (but my Singer sewing machine has decided to stop working for some reason). Instead, I thought it would be fun to summarize the top posts on Whisk Together as well as some of my favorite “ah ha! It worked!” recipes …
The only mistake I made with this recipe is not making a double batch. These bars didn’t last at ALL. I’ve made s’mores snacks before – usually with Golden Grahams cereal, marshmallows and chocolate chips with a little corn syrup. But these are WAY better! The toasted almonds add a lot to this recipe. You …
Yummmm blueberries. These are really easy to make and great for transporting. You don’t need pie plates and forks nor spoons for a crumble. Just grab a bar of antioxidants and go! Well… there’s some fat in there. But it’s not margarine, so it’s okay, right? This thing on….? The recipe makes a whole lot. …
Pucker up because these are tart, sweet and delicious! Many times I see these out and they have come from the Krusteez Lemon Bars Box. They are yummy and fast. But now looking at the ingredients, you find every Yellow # on the planet it seems, Palm Oil, and Partially Hydrogenated oils. Here is how …
I’ve made quite a few homemade brownies. Some out of convenience like this one. But these are awesome. And the added bonus is the shiny crust that you don’t see as often in homemade brownies (which might be why the homemade versions get frosting?). Well, anyway I’ve noticed that at potluck and things if the …
Here is another recipe I get asked for a lot at functions – probably the most requested. The great thing about is that I can write it down because there are only a handful of ingredients. I have been making this since I adapted the recipe from a Quick Cooking Magazine back in 2005. Accept …
It will soon be Girl Scout Cookie season, but most of us are probably pretty low on our supply of Girl Scout cookies from last year. If you have a samao cookie craving, or just want to make something yummy and a little different then your average dessert, then you may want to give this …
