Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Well, we finished Pi Day this week with a chicken pot pie this time. Now, we have St. Patrick’s Day with the traditional corned beef and cabbage. I have made Irish Soda Bread in the past from a mix and it is so easy to make yourself! Anyone can do it …
Howdy! Here are some of the latest fairy photos from a park photo shoot last week. I just love the sun behind trees and bushes!!! Creates such pretty bokeh. Book: I continue to read “Washington” by Ron Chernow in hopes that no one else in St. Charles county will request the book. It is …
Book Review: Full of large color photos and plenty of recipes, Giada’s new book is chock full of healthy ingredients and no canned recipes. This book is a great introduction for someone who might want to try eating healthier and introduce themselves to new foods like chia seeds, bone broth and vegetable …
Book: No books! Just running lights and baking cookies this week. 🙂 The kids and I are reading the Harry Potter series, so I won’t bore you with those reviews. Photography: I have started to update my photography business cards and websites. The youngest is going to school in August, so I thought I …
Book: Book Club this month picked “Matched” by Ally Condie and is really good. If you like “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, then you will probably like this book. It is another Young Adult Literature Dystopia novel following a young girl named Cassia. Recipe: If you need yet another apple recipe, this is it. A great fall …
Okay, I should call these “Quick Baguettes” because true French baguettes require a very long overnight rise time. If you have that kind of time, here is a good French Baguette recipe. Great for sandwiches, side dishes and soups! As for me and my house…. we will be making fast baguettes. 🙂 These are super …
I hope everyone had a fabulous Fourth of July! What I learned this week: -Aldi has wild caught salmon for $3.99 per bag of 4 filets. Sounded awesome… and WAY cheaper than Costco. Then….. I read that it is a product of China. -Watermelon is a fruit AND a vegetable! These fruit/vegetable debates are about …
Exercise: I like this Upper Body and Cardio workout because you get upper body strength training in while also doing cardio intervals. The upper body strength training usually doesn’t make you sweat, but alternating like this helps gets your heart going. If you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and can’t jump and can’t go …
“Meet Me in St. Louis” is over! I have my life back! 😉 Our book club book for this month is “Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli. I finished watching “Fed Up” on Netflix. It has been released for a while now and worth watching. The basic premise is that the American public has been told …
I know some people are die hard Aldi lovers. But, I went to Aldi the other day and then stopped by Greyson’s Produce Stand on the way home. It was almost half the price! You MUST go there before Aldi. The produce was fresh, didn’t smell weird, nothing I had to throw away (like I sometimes …
