Happy April! We went from a balmy 65 degrees this morning to a blustery “feels like” 39 degrees. So we are making soup! My husband’s favorite soup at Olive Garden is Zuppa Toscana. The kids and I usually get the Chicken Gnocci Soup. I am providing instructions for both preparations since some people will not …
This is the recipe I make any time I have a cold or the kids are getting sick. Generally, this happens a couple of times per year — once at the beginning of the school year and another time late winter. I drank this once a day for 3 days and just had a little …
Cinnamon Rolls are just an amazing treat. Soft, pillowy dough with sweet brown sugar and icing. These are actually easier when made the night before because then you just pull them out of the fridge and bake them without getting up at 3 am. Current book I’m reading: I’ve finished The Blackbird Girls by Anne …
Happy Valentine’s Day! Book Update: My daughter wrote a book! I have spent the last 6+ months editing the amazing novel Sea Legs. It is available on Amazon in Kindle and Paperback! We also have a signed version that is printed slightly off. I’m not sure why because the “no resale” version printed perfectly. My dream …
Today is a “Snow Day” due to the ice on the roads this morning! Modot, the news, everyone is asked to stay off the roads. So, instead of going to work I made sourdough granola. It is probably my new favorite. Lots of big chunks, incredibly versatile with different add-ins, low in sugar and oil, …
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 …
Happy Boxing Day! It is the day after Christmas which also means the day after Maddox’s birthday and Jesus’ birthday. So we have a cake either way! This year he (Maddox, not Jesus) requested Black Tie Mousse Cake from Olive Garden. It runs about $10 per slice at the restaurant, but I just knew it …
If you love sweet and sour things – you will LOVE these pancakes! If you love Original Pancake House pancakes – you will LOVE these pancakes! (They use sourdough in all their pancakes.) If you love salty, sweet, and sour combinations – you will LOVE these pancakes made into a breakfast sandwich! These sourdough pancakes …
Happy Sunday! It is fall and Sunday so that = football. Or if you are me that means rehearsal for the Christmas play 🙂 This year we will be performing Smoke on the Mountain on November 30-Dec. 2nd. I will be playing the part of June who proudly proclaims “I don’t sing. I sign.” So …
Hello! I have 8 days left to study for my National Counselor Exam and that has taken up any free time. 200 questions – less than 4 hours – 3 years of graduate-level material and the test is so hard you need around 100 out of 160 right to pass. It is classified as a …
