Book Update: No books. I did watch “Saving Mr. Banks”. Such a great movie! Emma Thompson was sooo good. Tonight, I saw “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” because my friend John was in the musical. Here’s my new lunchbox though! I can’t wait. I wish I was teaching school just to put it on my desk. Recipe: So …
I know it is winter… but I still love pumpkin 🙂 High in fiber and vitamin A – it is available all year round in the pumpkin puree can. My store started marking them half off since the season is over and I bought more! Plus, the kids LOVED these. They ate them up like …
If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know I’m not a huge fan of chocolate. I had a friend about 5 years ago who didn’t like it at ALL. I couldn’t understand her! What? You crazy woman? 5 years later, I totally get it. I know I’m weird. BUT – I …
Here is the EASIEST chocolate frosting I have ever made. It will frost 24 cupcakes using a knife to spread it like a can of frosting would. To make high pillars of frosting on top, you will need to double the recipe. And… NO trans fats! The FDA is going to ban them soon anyway, …

Book Update: I’ve learned some new and interesting things from “Salt, Sugar, Fat” by Michael Moss… Like Oscar Meyer had a bologna problem back in the 80’s and 90’s. Red meat was being purchased less and less as a result of the “fat is bad” boom from the 1980’s. Nothing new. However, Lunchables were created …
Good morning everyone! I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas! Book Update: I completely finished “Happy Money” and thought it was a worthwhile read. Although the jokes were… odd… for an academic book. It almost made me wish I had rethought Christmas presents. One of the main points of the book was to …
Life Update: Since I can never leave well enough alone, I made a second Christmas card. Long story short… it would cost me just as much to get 25 cards and envelopes made in 4×6 format as the Costco jumbo size Christmas cards with envelopes. So, I had to make one for the Costco standard …
Book Update: I’ve been working on my Christmas list and my Christmas gift ideas list. I know Christmas seems so far away, but after making Christmas cookies for the upcoming Heirloom Cookie Sheet promo and post, I just seem to feel the need to plan ahead.
