Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: Still taking my vacation time to watch “The Good Wife”! Recipe: This recipe gets to the heart about why I can’t stand most slow cooker recipes – they turn the food to mush. Leaving most of our food to cook for 8 hours a day is really, really gross. But, I’ve learned that …
Hi Everyone! I was sick with a stomach bug last week, so I was not able to post anything 🙁 I felt better… but still didn’t want to look at food, you know? So, I feel bad posting so little. I have literally no windows in our new kitchen and one patio door in the …
Tuscan Luau Chicken! This is a fancy name for a simple pineapple dish that all of us loved. It is a Wildtree recipe that is part of the “Savory Selections Workshop”. I used my Costco 9×13″ pans, so all I had to do was thaw the pan in the fridge, pop it in …
Please don’t let the word “poutine” scare you away from this dish. It’s really easy and delicious.

Anyone who lives near me in St. Louis should check out the Community Helpings Co-op. You get a huge basket of mostly local produce for $21.50. I stopped getting …
Book Update: I finished “The Secrets of Happy Families” by Bruce Feiler while on vacation since it was a suggested book by Amazon. I think a lot of it could be applied to classrooms as well – especially elementary classrooms. The book is thoroughly researched with hundreds of books and authors referenced that are the …
Toy Update: I got a new toy!!!! Last summer was sooooo hot that turning on the oven was impossible. So, this year I got a new toaster convection oven and it is AWESOME. It is already hot outside and we have the AC on because of the children’s allergies. I made this pot pie in the …
Book Update: I finished this week’s lesson in Positive Psychology in Creativity, Aesthetics and Genius.
