Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween! Ours was a little chilly…. like 37 degrees and hands freezing chilly. But the kids got their loot before 8pm, so they were all happy. Recipe: All buggers aside, this recipe is SUPER yummy, SUPER easy, SUPER healthy and Freezer Friendly. How can you go wrong? I make …
Well… this WAS made to pair with my caramel corn. But the caramel corn burned the first time (pan was on the lower rack instead of middle-upper rack) and the caramel cooked too long the second time (because I was chopping apples to make apple butter). What did I learn so you don’t have to? …
*Book Update*: I finished Shawn Anchor’s “Happiness Advantage” and continued on to his second book “Before Happiness.” Some interesting tidbits: a 1968 study yielded what we call the “Pygmalion Effect” basically proving child test scores rising simply because they were held at higher expectations. Anchor conducted a study in regards to work, but instead …
This recipe is from the Caribbean and Latin America. Traditionally, the batido or “fruit shake” is made with any tropical fruit like pineapple, banana, mango, papaya, guava and passion fruit. In the photo, I used strawberries because we had a lot of them to use up before going moldy. Frozen fruit can be used …
Good morning! I hope everyone had a fabulous Mother’s Day! One person has requested the Figure Friendly Meal Plan that I have, so I will post it here. This is a Freezer meal plan written by Wildtree. You can use and purchase their ingredients (I sell them as well), or you can swap them …
I’ve made this recipe quite a few times and this time we made them for Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t believe I was 14 days behind on photos! We hired a real estate agent on Saturday and putting the house up for sale on Thursday or Friday – so, it has been quite the busy week. …
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: After seeing the second “Hobbit” movie I started reading the book again by JRR Tolkein. It is an annotated version which is really helpful. I wish I had had that version in school instead. There are a lot of explanations (probably more than necessary for me!) including “morning letters”: the mail in Britain …
Book Update: “Killing Jesus” by Bill O’Reilly is our book club book for the month. I’m really looking forward to it since I saw it last month at Costco and wanted to read it then. Unfortunately, I was #150 in line last month and now #81 this month in line to get the book. Doh! …
Book Update: “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” by Robert Sapolsky continues to astound me. He goes into great detail how stress suppresses the immune system. Something about B cells and T cells and all that jazz. Basically, you get stressed the more likely you may get sick. He brings up an interesting point that this …
