Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I know, I know it sounds weird. But it actually was good! I saw this idea on my Facebook feed under Whole Foods and figured since I had everything for it, why not try it? The kids ate it. Maddox ate several and Juliana licked the chocolate off and skipped the pineapple. Which is odd …
I auditioned for “Oklahoma” yesterday, so soon I will post something very happy or very sad… we shall see. In other news, my homework in Positive Psychology discussed “savoring” and that this concept actually increases well-being. Maybe that is why so many moms get frustrated… when do we have time to savor when the kids …
** I WON ** Actually, I won 3 times! “Top Secret Recipes” had a photo contest. I happened to have made several recipes from Todd Wilbur’s Top Secret Recipe collection and sent 3 of them in and they WON! Now I have 4 “Top Secret Recipes” books. I’m very excited as you can tell 🙂 …
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.).

Happy Friday!! This is a fun snack for Fall – it really looks and tastes like Fall. Great for parties or divide up as a snack or hand out in pretty cellophane bags. This recipe makes a LOT! It filled up my two huge salad bowls if that gives you an idea of how much …
Happy Halloween!!! This recipe was just plain scary to make, so I will post it today! 🙂 **This recipe is pretty finicky with the temperature. I made it again and it came out like peanut brittle. I’ll have to work on it some more. But be mindful.** So I got my Food Network Nov. 2012 …
