Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy April! I had to share another success recipe from Flavcity 🙂 Everything I’ve made from Flavcity has been a big hit. The kids weren’t thrilled with wild rice…. big surprise. And the looooong list of salad ingredients comes together much faster than you think. The kids put together the dressing and we had …
Good morning everyone! Happy Ice Storm Day from here in the Midwest! We need a little hint of summer and this is the perfect! You can make this SUPER easy salad in winter with canned black beans and frozen mango. You can find frozen mango in the frozen fruit section of the grocery store – …
I hope your summer has been awesome!! Here in Missouri we are at 100 degrees or more every day and 101 on Saturday without the heat index! So instead of swimming in the bathwater temperature pool, we had a family reunion on Sunday. For the main meat, I purchased 10 pounds of pork shoulder to …

Book Update: I started reading “Killing Jesus” by Bill O’Reilly (and some other guy). Though only several chapters in, I am enjoying the book. It is a lot of history that surrounds Jesus’ life that I wasn’t taught or simply forgotten about. The writing is fluid and information easy to process. When living in today’s …
Book update: Hmmm… does anyone read this part? 😉 Recipe Update: I have an abundance of apples from my bushel purchases at my co-op. Plus spinach is sooo good for you and so cheap at Aldi that I buy more than we can eat. This recipe helped me solve both problems. I have …
My favorite sandwich at Panera/St. Louis Bread Company is the tuna salad sandwich. Eating out just seems to be getting more and more expensive especially with both kids now eating their own kids’ meals. $4.50 for a PB&J anyone? Soo… I started going back to one of my favorite cookbooks: Comfort Food Makeovers by America’s …
This salad is topped with my favorite snack food from Trader Joe’s: Antioxidant fruit and nut mix. It is a mixture of almonds, walnuts, cashews, dried cranberries, dried blueberries, and dried raspberries. Here is a recipe for this salad and a few other salads that are my favorites. Costco sells a huge bag of …
