Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Oh yes, we have LOTS of spaghetti squash here thanks to Aldi. The stock up store. And their 69 cents squash sale! Unless you want to stock up on: canned green chilies and whole wheat sandwich buns…. then you’re pretty much out of luck at Aldi. 🙂 But back to the squash. This recipe …
Book: Still re-reading “The Last Child” by John Hart. In the meantime, I discovered “The Good Wife” has Season 6 released on Hulu. One of the smartest shows ever! The writing is so funny, and you learn so much about the behind the scenes of politics and the law. Recipes: I almost titled this post …
Book: The reviews for “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo are quite amusing. Here are the major points of the book. I like how they are highlighted in bold. That way I can just read the bold font and skip over the rest 🙂 Let’s start with one of the funniest …
Book Update: I gave up on “All the Light We Cannot See” by Anthony Doer. I must be a freak because now there are not 6 thousand, not 8 thousand, but now 9 thousand reviews on Amazon for this book! That’s like 1000 more reviews since I started reading it. I started reading instead a good …
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 …
TED Talks “Math Class Needs a Makeover”: I always find these TED talks sooooo mind-bendingly interesting. This one is my new latest favorite. Dan Meyer speaks to the audience about the backwards way students are presented with problems. His premise is that the math problems in textbooks are nothing like real life. No one in real …
**Recipe Update on Bacon Wrapped Crackers** After a thorough study of these addictive things, I have found a few ways to make them good and bad. One, use a thin cut bacon. The thick cut gets mushy instead of crispy and turns the appetizer to mush. Two, use center cut bacon if possible. Again, the …
I stopped reading “The Opposite of Lonliness” by Marina Keegan. The intro and first essay were excellent. After that, the entire book loses my interest. I wouldn’t recommend it. Recipe: I have been a little obsessive with butternut squash. I’ve made it into soup and lasagna. Now, it is just straight up mashed! You can make …
These bowls are just too fun and cute! I love being able to eat my bowl and soup at the same time. Squash is everywhere this time of year and makes a great soup. Need a shortcut? Trader Joe’s and most other grocery stores sell butternut squash soup in those cardboard containers. That way you …
Below I have a summary of updates, a product review and recipe for my new FAVORITE side dish right now: Cauliflower Popcorn! Update: Boy, do I have some cool crafts waiting for the blog! This summer we made chalkboard coasters from the 2 cent tiles at Lowes and pom pom flowers out of $2 tissue …
