Summer is my favorite time for citrus. This cookie can be anything you want it to be – fall, summer, spring or winter. You can use a seasonal jam like I did here with strawberry-rhubarb, or try these around the holidays with blueberry or a more traditional apricot. If you are interested in a great …
I am so encouraged and inspired by all the wonderful readers on Whisk Together and Money Saving Mom following my How I Lost 33 Pounds and Kept It Off for 3 Years. A lot of great ideas in the comments as well. I tried to keep the blog post down to the essentials. Everyone is …
Book Update: So, “The Screwtape Letters” is possible one of the weirdest (but in a good way) books I have ever read in my life. Everything evil is good, and everything good/heaven is bad. It is written in epistle form with Screwtape, a training devil, giving advice to his nephew and trainee, Wormwood. Some interesting …
If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know I’m not a huge fan of chocolate. I had a friend about 5 years ago who didn’t like it at ALL. I couldn’t understand her! What? You crazy woman? 5 years later, I totally get it. I know I’m weird. BUT – I …
Recipe: These cookies are great for chocolate lovers trying to reduce calories. I also have a version for us non-chocolate people using maple instead of chocolate. SWEET! Or, you could omit the cocoa powder and just have mini chocolate chips. Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies 30 cookies 1/2 cup egg whites at room temperature (about 4 …
Book Update: I’ve learned some new and interesting things from “Salt, Sugar, Fat” by Michael Moss… Like Oscar Meyer had a bologna problem back in the 80’s and 90’s. Red meat was being purchased less and less as a result of the “fat is bad” boom from the 1980’s. Nothing new. However, Lunchables were created …
Good morning everyone! I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas! Book Update: I completely finished “Happy Money” and thought it was a worthwhile read. Although the jokes were… odd… for an academic book. It almost made me wish I had rethought Christmas presents. One of the main points of the book was to …
Book Update: I am into chapter 5 of “Happy Money” and really enjoy it. The book is basically similar to most of my positive psychology books only this one focuses solely on money. Not how to save it necessarily, but how to spend it so that you get the most happiness out of it. Here is a …
Recipe Update: I made these cookies because I used up all of my molasses on perfecting the 100% Whole Wheat Sandwich bread and couldn’t make our chewy gingerbread men. It was a happy accident because these were delicious! They remind me of the big, soft cookies in that red package at the store.. but without …
Book Update: I finished “Killing Jesus” and thought it was well worth the read. The historical context of Jesus and his ministry just cannot be brought to life with the bible alone. The authors go into the history of Rome, its emperors, the politics behind the chief priest and Pilate, and the history of the …
