Happy Winter! It was a high of 0 degrees at the house yesterday. Today is a heat wave up to 8 degrees! We are hitting records in Missouri, so I hope everyone is safe and warm. One of our repeat family dinners is Taco Pasta! It is so easy to make and leaves everyone wanting …
Quick Marinara Sauce – Some sauces take HOURS to prepare. Some sauces come in a glass jar, but alas, I had none in a jar. My favorite is Trader Joe’s Marinara – though I wish it wasn’t so watery. I needed something NOW for our craving of Mozzarella Sticks. Still the yummiest ever and my …
Reading now: I finished watching part of the HBO drama “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” with Oprah since I adore the book. The book is fantastic and was a hit at our book club! I really couldn’t finish the HBO show. I was bored …. maybe because I knew what was going to happen? …

The high temperature today was 12 and the low was -1. The normal temperature would be a high of 43! It is so cold I can only think of warm soup and roasted sweet potatoes to make all day, so that is what I did! I have two yummy soups to show you and they …
Book Update: The “new books” section of the library is right by checkout. Since I have had the kids nonstop for… 3 months now… I’m not able to really preview anything there. I grab my books at the library and hope for the best! Like clothes at Old Navy or bras at Victoria Secret. Or …
I am still working on the 250 cupcakes and wedding cake for this Saturday. Not much else going on … I have almost finished the components of my book project. I have an ISBN number for my book, too! Just need to get it laid out now. For the low, low price of a …
