Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: I finished “From Mama’s Table to Mine” by Bobby Deen. The recipes look delicious, but the calorie counts are terrible. Instead of creating real servings of food, one is expected to eat a bird-size serving of something and voila! It has less calories! Of course it does! Nobody should have to split a 9″ …
I wish I could pour syrup onto everything. Putting into meat is about just as good 🙂 Here is a copycat recipe for Jimmy Dean’s Maple Breakfast Sausage. Of course, I lightened it up by testing it out on the ground turkey I buy a lot of at Costco. The kids and I ate it …
I make pancakes about once a week to freeze and reheat throughout the week. Most of time I use my pumpkin whole wheat recipe full of whole grains and pumpkin. But, I found this recipe in my library-borrowed “Practical Paleo” book that I thought would be fun to try. At first, these were AWFUL. The photos …
Book Update: I finished reading “The End of Overeating” by Dr. David Kessler and highly recommend it. The book does get technical, but fully explains why we crave food the way we do. Well, for some of us. Not everybody can look at a bowl of M&M’s and go “meh.” So, he discusses the brain chemistry …
Book update: I started “Gone Girl” by Gillian Flynn which is supposed to be a huge hit, but even set in good, ol’ Missouri it isn’t doing anything for me. I’m only on page 20 though and I’m sick with a cold, so maybe I’m just irritable because of the sinus headache. I should have …
There is a pancake place in Pittsburg called “Pamela’s Diner.” The pancakes are so outstanding that President Obama requested the cooks come to White House to serve him. No joke! I have never had the original pancakes, but one reviewer of this recipe says he has and they taste just like them. These pancakes reminded …
Books I’m reading: “Wait for Me” (a free Kindle book) and “Peace Like a River” by Leif Enger. “Peace Like a River” is a really good story with a lot of literary devices (symbols, themes, foreshadowing, etc.). Though the devices and the style make the book not exactly conversational and a breeze to read through, …
The Original Pancake House began this delicious concoction. It’s a delicious (though expensive) place for breakfast: thick cut bacon, fresh squeezed orange juice, apple pancakes and Dutch baby are just a few of the great things on their menu. Some of these ingredients need to be room temperature, but to speed things up I put …
These were a yummy use of the cranberries I bought at the store the other day. With whole grains and berries, you can’t go wrong with this healthy breakfast or snack. I washed, dried and froze the fresh berries ahead of time. But, you can use dried or fresh. In some reviews, I have …
I have a few new recipes to post and a craft I am working on (but my Singer sewing machine has decided to stop working for some reason). Instead, I thought it would be fun to summarize the top posts on Whisk Together as well as some of my favorite “ah ha! It worked!” recipes …
