Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: So, “The Screwtape Letters” is possible one of the weirdest (but in a good way) books I have ever read in my life. Everything evil is good, and everything good/heaven is bad. It is written in epistle form with Screwtape, a training devil, giving advice to his nephew and trainee, Wormwood. Some interesting …
These bars remind me of Kellogg’s Nutrigrain bars. The texture and taste are very similar though the ingredients are different. No Red #40 , Blue #1, artificial flavor, or carrageenan. What I love about this recipe: 1. A few simple ingredients. 2. Fast and easy to put together. 3. The flavor is easy to change. …
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 …
Book/Life Update: Today at MOPS, we discussed the mommy wars and how we compare one another. Sigh, I dunno. I love some food blogs out there, but I know that they are full-time bloggers who really work at this. I spend 30 minutes at most and would love to spend more taking perfect photos with the …
Book Update: I’m still plowing through “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk” and agree with almost everything. Except they mention how parents don’t listen to what their kids are saying like “I’m hungry” even when the child just ate. Indeed, they could still be hungry. But sometimes kids …
Book Update: I just finished reading “The First 20 Minutes: Surprising Science Reveals How We Can Exercise Better, Train Smarter, Live Longer” by Gretchen Reynolds. If you have received up to date workout videos or training, then some of the information is not completely new. However, much of the information shed light on what is going …
My son LOVES Cascadian Farms’ “Oats and Honey Granola.” In fact, this is his favorite granola and won’t eat the other ones I make or buy – even the super awesome Trader Joe’s Mango Passion Granola. Or my delicious cherry orange granola. He often eats this each morning because Juliana and I like oatmeal – …
Someone keep me away from this bread. It’s so gooey and delicious. I wish someone made a candle that smelled like yeast bread. Ooh, a new business perhaps? Okay – no, not another business. I can only handle 3 at a time here. I don’t want a grass candle, or guava, or espresso, or… wait, …
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 …
