Granola works great: on top of yogurt, on baked fruit as a crisp topping, in a fruit salad, muffins, with milk, making homemade granola bars, or I just consume copious amounts out of it from the pantry. This granola muffin recipe is amazing! It must start out with GOOD granola though. The granola is the star of …
I have spent the past few evenings making cookies for “Amerikids” the musical. It is a play Wentzville Christian Church is performing this Sunday at 6pm. And…. there are cookies afterwards! The musical talent is awesome. Plus, it’s free! I will take some more detailed photos and explain how to do the cookies step by …
Happy Mother’s Day! I was just watching Netflix Ted Talks again. One talk was heralding how great white bread is due to the fact that it represents our industrialization of food. Without that industrialization, we couldn’t live on 2% of farming familites or feed ourselves pasta from Italy. Louise Fresco points not to the American …
“Meet Me in St. Louis” is over! I have my life back! 😉 Our book club book for this month is “Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli. I finished watching “Fed Up” on Netflix. It has been released for a while now and worth watching. The basic premise is that the American public has been told …

Book: Our book club book this month is “The Nesting Place: It Doesn’t Have to Be Perfect too Be Beautiful” by Myquillyn Smith. Funny, I was researching decorating and pick this book up in the summer. I didn’t read it because it didn’t teach you how to decorate but more about life while decorating. My …
Book: We all decided that “Where’d Ya Go Bernadette?” by Maria Semple was funny…. but wouldn’t recommend. It’s funny and weird and if you want that – go read it. If you want an ending that makes sense, don’t. I am working on another “Our Favorite Things at Trader Joe’s” post. It should almost …
