Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I was too lazy to look up the recipe for my pumpkin oatmeal last week. The oats were reduced and the milk increased… and tastes BETTER than the original. Same flavor profile, but creamier! A healthy, wholesome fall breakfast – and remember you bake it and freeze it. Or, you can mix it all together …
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… I would have accomplished more this week if I hadn’t started watching “Once Upon a Time.” You see, I needed a new show. I only watch 2 TV shows (Castle and Marvel) and I exercise 5 times per week. So I found “Once Upon a Time” on Netflix since several people commented Elsa was …
I bribed my two children with Sheridan’s concretes this weekend in order to get our Fall photos done. Juliana turned 4 just recently and I like these in lieu of the Fall school pictures for Maddox. I loved all of them, so it was hard to choose what to put here! My friends …
Whew! So I finally have a kitchen again that has more than 2 drawers, but with that comes LOTS of moving and unpacking. Bonus – I didn’t have to exercise because I was moving furniture! I love practical and functional in one 🙂 So here are the rooms I have done so far in the …
*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 …
Book Update: I finished “Secret Daughter” by Shilpi Somaya Gowda this week – it was really good. The book was an international bestseller and on the NY Times bestselling list. The book follows two families: an American couple wanting to adopt (the husband is from India and the wife is from California) and an Indian couple. …
I finished “The Chaperone” by Laura Moriarty. I was pretty good and neat to read about the era of silent movies and prohibition. **Recipe** I was trying to use up my carrots and pineapple and arrived at this recipe. If you like pineapple and coconut combos, then you will like this recipe! PrintPineapple Coconut Muffins …
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 …
