Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book: Our book club book this month is “Where did you go Bernadette?” By Maria Semple. Looks funny! I can’t wait to read it. I really should get a notebook to keep with me. I have all these ideas “I should put in my blog post” and by the time I sit down to write, …
Book Update: Sooooo… no books so far. I found this show called “The Good Wife” while trying to find something to watch on the elliptical machine. I’m hooked! I remember Julianna from ER which was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I loved anything Michael Crichton. Recipe: I know I know. It sounds weird. …
For years our family served Chocolate Pudding Pie at Christmas. It was really quite delicious and simple – a couple packages of Jello chocolate pudding thrown into a baked pie crust. Here I made something *almost* as simple and JUST as delicious. The only difference is that I frozen the pie. Why? One, I could …
We are still in peak holiday season, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t prep for the rest of the day’s nutrition before the cookies and candy come. This week – in addition to a Minecraft birthday party celebration (a future blog post)- I have been researching smoothies and how to get maximum nutrition into …
**Update 11/26/12: So I have made these about…. 12 times over and they worked perfectly every time until now. Either Rolo has changed their formula (some companies do because of allergy requirements or to remove trans fats as the Nabisco company did for the Oreo), or the changes I did made a big difference: I …
Well… I would have accomplished more this week if I hadn’t started watching “Once Upon a Time.” You see, I needed a new show. I only watch 2 TV shows (Castle and Marvel) and I exercise 5 times per week. So I found “Once Upon a Time” on Netflix since several people commented Elsa was …
Well… this WAS made to pair with my caramel corn. But the caramel corn burned the first time (pan was on the lower rack instead of middle-upper rack) and the caramel cooked too long the second time (because I was chopping apples to make apple butter). What did I learn so you don’t have to? …
I have tried for a year to re-page number my book to no avail. If someone knows how to unformat a document in Open Office that would be great. My other option is to copy and paste it into a new document section by section, but somehow copying and pasting the book also transports …
This is my biggest pet peeve with recipes and Martha Stewart does this a LOT. Her first instruction in cookies (and some other recipes) is #1 preheat to oven to 350 degrees. And then by step 3, you are told to put the dough in the oven for an hour or MORE. Like seriously?! …
Fitness Update: So ever since I did my post on exercising and losing weight, I have been trying different free youtube fitness workouts. Now, I require them to be a full workout and something I can do without much thinking. Fitness Blender definitely fits the bill. I love their very down to earth manner. They …
