Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
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: This is a review and book update! The wonderful Heirloom Cookie Sheet company is creating a super awesome cookie book, and they were nice enough to ask me to be a part of it. I received a cookie sheet and a cookie recipe to make and review. The only compensation was a cookie …
Book Update: My 3 year old is still requesting “Calvin and Hobbes” each night and I feel like I have read every single strip ever created. But, they’re awesome, so it’s okay. Here is probably my favorite so far if I had to choose just one. The strip can be found here. Below is the …
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. Here were some of my ideas: Cinnamon Rolls in …
Recipe: I wanted a lemony cookies for my birthday and found this recipe on the Food Network with 894 five star reviews. Since I had leftover ricotta cheese from my Caprese Lasagna, I wanted to use up the rest before it went bad. These cookies were kid approved! Maddox loved putting the lemon icing on …
Book Update: Since my last book was on exercise, I thought I would read another to answer some questions I’ve always had or challenge the view that I was taught 15 years ago while in high school. “Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?” by Alex Hutchinson is even better than the last book I read “The …
I have made Rolo Cookies from scratch before, but these come from a mix so a lot of the work is already done for you. Just like my easy peach crisp… these come from an easy mix with just a couple other ingredients. I think a pecan on top would be AWESOME!! But, the recipients …
Book Update: I just got Bobby Deen’s new cookbook from the library called “From Mama’s Table to Mine” which has fewer calories and less fat than Paula Deen’s recipes. I will let you know how it goes. The shrimp and grits, red velvet cake, cornbread and BBQ pork look divine! Normally, before I purchase or …
Book Update: In positive psychology, we studied well-being again in reference to our life-span. Apparently, there really is a mid-life crisis according to experts and women typically have one around their mid-forties and men in their late forties. I found it interesting that generally (everything is general in these studies!) women grow happier until age …
Book Update: Spring break is here! I am sad in a way because the temperature for this week hovers around freezing for a high. Personally, I was hoping to take the kids to the zoo, museum, etc. Instead… I’m not so sure. Even the beach looks pathetic — their high temperature is only 60. Unfortunately, …
