Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I found an interesting book entitled “Make the Bread, Buy the Butter: What You Should and Shouldn’t Cook from Scratch” by Jennifer Reese. It’s very charming, funny and witty. It is like reading exactly what goes on inside my head… which is kind of scary and comforting at the same time. I also enjoy the …
Books I’ve read: Since the move, I really haven’t had the time to read many books. I did just finish “Wonder” by RJ Palacio. It has nearly 4,000 five star reviews and with good reason. The characters are great, the plot is moving and the message is one that every adult and child should hear. …
The high temperature today was 12 and the low was -1. The normal temperature would be a high of 43! It is so cold I can only think of warm soup and roasted sweet potatoes to make all day, so that is what I did! I have two yummy soups to show you and they …
Book Update: “Sugar Salt Fat” has still been a really interesting read. It is not about nutrition, but the food companies that have stocked our grocery shelves for a hundred years. It is how they changed their products, how they changed how we see food and how they convinced a generation that they need convenience …
Book Update: The “new books” section of the library is right by checkout. Since I have had the kids nonstop for… 3 months now… I’m not able to really preview anything there. I grab my books at the library and hope for the best! Like clothes at Old Navy or bras at Victoria Secret. Or …
Book Update: The kids and I have been reading Calvin and Hobbes for about two months now. I am pretty sure the parts about how society is just trying to make us miserable with ourselves in order to buy their stuff, the irony of deer killing an office worker in order to thin the ever-growing …
Book Update: No time for books. We got two new kittens this weekend. They are named Oreo and Bella. Kittens are the sweetest little things ever! Anyone who lives near me in St. Louis should check out the Community Helpings Co-op. You get a huge basket of mostly local produce for $21.50. I stopped getting …
Book Update: I checked out the “Cooking Light: Way to Bake” from the library. The photos are very pretty. I hope the recipes are just as delicious! I will try a few and have to report back. The pumpkin honey beer bread looks sooooo good. Recipe Update: This is another one I pulled from my …
Book Update: I finally finished most of “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers.” It was probably one of the most technical “science” book I have read in 10 years, but it was worth it. I know more about glucocorticoids than I ever thought possible… since I never even heard of them before. If you want to know …
Book Update: Recipe Update: I have done this numerous times and thought I would share how easy it is to make two meals at once on the stove top. Most of us probably have made double of the same thing. Since there are only 2 adults and 2 children, we don’t eat typical 6 serving …
