Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
HAPPY NATIONAL ICE CREAM DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny story. I made this sherbet for my kids and they couldn’t understand why it wasn’t green. I asked, what do you mean? They said, why isn’t it green like the stuff at the store. Well, this is what ice cream looks like before the manufacturers add artificial food coloring. …
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 …
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 …

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 …
Hey Everybody!!!! So… I’ve been doing this blog 3 years. THREE years. Non-stop through anything and everything. That is until I sold my home. It’s like a 24 hour job! Cleaning 3 times per day, packing half of the house into a truck and then a storage unit, touching up inside and out. Wow! …

I wish I had had that version in school instead. There are a lot of explanations (probably more than necessary for me!) including “morning letters”: the mail in Britain …
Book Update: No novels so far. Book club is in… limbo? I’m not sure. Well, anyway I have been delving deep into more cast iron skillet recipes and general know how. Several of my friends have been ditching their non-stick cookware due to the health concerns raised. I haven’t seen anything in the big media …

Book Update: I just finished “The Drunkard’s Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives” by Leonard Mlodinow while reading through his other new book “Subliminal”. For the record, we were camping with our church this weekend and after a few hours I realized reading “The Drunkard’s Walk” may be interpreted as a self-help book and …
Book Update: Our book club over “How Children Succeed” by Paul Tough was awesome! What a great springboard to some great questions about society, parenting, teaching and children. My new books are both by Abraham Mlodinow. The most recent published books is “Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior” which is more psychology and physiology. …
