In honor of National Canning Day, here is my first ever canning recipe and experience. It tastes soooooo much better than grocery store stuff! I used half sugar and half Splenda to cut down on calories. The canning was much simpler than I thought it would be. Now, canning does use up a lot of …
Here’s proof I don’t put all my trials and recipes on this web page. The past few weeks I tried to improve or make: lemon crinkle cookies, blueberry lemon muffins, whole wheat corn muffins and kiwi ice cream. All edible, but nothing fantastic. Nothing I would take to a potluck, over to someone’s house or …
I end up with lots of overripe bananas, so I have to come up with lots of ways to use them. This recipe can be made as a low-fat version or full-fat version. I’ll give you both and you can decide. I also include a cream cheese frosting recipe that you could use on cupcakes, …
This has got to be the best french toast I’ve had. Soft, chewy, sweet and delicious. Maybe because it reminds me of Sunday morning breakfasts with mom and my sisters at Denny’s or because it is simple and easy to put together. No prepping and soaking overnight – no extra cream cheese, blueberries, etc. etc. …
Better Homes and Gardens had a beautiful dining room in greens and oranges in their April issue. The bookshelves had fabric backing with white knick knacks inside. Very pretty! I don’t have built-in bookshelves, but I thought it would be a neat idea to use Decorative Wall Cubes you see at Kohls and Target to make …
“Put the lime in the coconut…” That is all I can remember, but it was going through my head when making this chicken. This was something different from our normal grill marinades, but we all really enjoyed it. I would suggest grilling with skewers as tenders tend to fall through the grill sometimes and can …
Great for when guests are over! I make this every time we have people stay over at the house. What a warm and delicious scent to wake up to and eat. This is from one of my favorite chefs – Todd Wilbur. I don’t think I’ve ever seen in on the Food Network, but he …
Every week I try and plan the meals we (meaning me) will make. This lets me steer away from needless eating out, saving money and frequent trips to the grocery store. Though with a baby, we make frequent trips anyway for formula, etc. When couponing, I would plan my meals on Sunday after the coupon …
We have friends that love the chewy brownie, the cakey one and the fudgey one. Pamela Anderson in her book “The Perfect Recipe: Getting It Right Every Time” set out to make a brownie that has all three features. They are amazing! Homemade brownies from scratch do not compare to box mixes. The flavor depth …
This pie is awesome!!! It is better than cherry pie… well when you want to do it fast. There are wonderful, made from scratch and self-pitted cherry pies that I am sure top this one. But I want pie and and I want it roughly soon since I now have two children who can …
