Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Update: Next year’s MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) theme is “A Fierce Flourishing”. After two years of research and one graduate Positive Psychology class, I did a presentation back in March on “Thriving” and thought this would be the perfect time to post that in my blog. I have included the PowerPoint Presentation as well …
Book: No time to read! I am working in the sound booth for “Meet Me in St. Louis” at Wentzville Christian Church. Come see us! It is May 1st at 7pm and May 2nd at 2pm and 7pm. How much does it cost? It’s free! But really good. It isn’t one of those free musicals …
Books: I am doing another presentation on “Making Your Favorite Foods Healthy” at the library. I’m very excited about sharing all the wonderful recipes and techniques I have accumulated in making foods healthier. The idea all started when I made brownies from black beans and no flour and no butter. The first section of the …
Recipe: So this is like my favorite dessert ever. I’m not sure why it took 4 years to post it. There are other versions like the one my mom makes for my birthday. (Yes, I get a strawberry pie instead of a cake.) Most have lots of Jello brand strawberry gelatin and some cut up …
Here are some great Easter tips and recipes if you are still searching for something to bring on Sunday. Or, if you just want something “spring”y to take to work – these cookies would work perfectly! Royal Icing Sugar Cookies (I did not use baking powder) I used an egg shaped cookie cutter from my …
I saw these “holy heck brownies” on Pinterest and then used the King Arthur Flour recipe to make the brownie because it had more chocolate in it. Everyone loved these brownies! Dark, fudgy, chewy, just the perfect bar to take anywhere. This version makes a 9×13 pan and snickers inside. Use up the rest …
Book Update: I have updated my Goodreads profile. I would love to be friends with you and see what everyone else is reading! Here is the Goodreads link to my page. It’s free and fun to be able to keep track of everything I’ve read – and handy since it will link up to Amazon, too. Right …
Freezer Meals: I have been working using the Wildtree workshops, using other ingredients and putting my own interpretation on some of the recipes. Here is a copy of the “Get Your Grill On” Wildtree Freezer Meal Workshop in my own words. If you are unable to afford or obtain the Wildtree ingredients, I put substitutes …
Update: I am slowly but surely transforming all of my winter and fall decorations into spring. I think the easiest and cheapest way to accomplish this is to simply use my current decorations. Here, I covered the Halloween wall decor that I purchased at Home Goods for $6 with some fabric. I took photos, but really …
Update: I haven’t read many books since the last post. I have been working with my Silhouette machine making vinyl tiles, cards and brainstorming an Etsy store idea. Here are some of the tiles I have made with vinyl. I took the floor tile from the hardware store and had a LOT of fun with …
