Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I stopped reading “The Opposite of Lonliness” by Marina Keegan. The intro and first essay were excellent. After that, the entire book loses my interest. I wouldn’t recommend it. Recipe: I have been a little obsessive with butternut squash. I’ve made it into soup and lasagna. Now, it is just straight up mashed! You can make …
Below I have a summary of updates, a product review and recipe for my new FAVORITE side dish right now: Cauliflower Popcorn! Update: Boy, do I have some cool crafts waiting for the blog! This summer we made chalkboard coasters from the 2 cent tiles at Lowes and pom pom flowers out of $2 tissue …
*Book Update* I finished “Before Happiness” by Shawn Achor and find it even better than his first book, “The Happiness Advantage.” The problem with a lot of these college studies is their sample source: young college students. Most of us aren’t young college students and most of us were not privileged to attend Harvard, Yale …
This may be one of the dumbest or greatest things I’ve bought for my kitchen. I will have to let you know once I receive it and start using it. We love breakfast sandwiches, but the assembly and everything can take time. I don’t always have them frozen on hand, so I thought this might …
Book Update: I started the second book “A Thousand Splendid Suns” from our book club. It is one of her favorite books ever, but it is not for everyone. If you read his other book, “Kite Runner”, then you probably have an idea of what the other book will contain. Oh! And Veronica Roth …
Book Update: I finished “The Rent Collector” by Camren Wright. It was good! I would recommend it if you like reading especially about other parts of the world. My other projects were on hold today due to mouse poop. Yep. The mice found some grass seed and left mouse poop all over the shoe area …
Book Update: So, now that I’m dismissed from jury duty I can talk about it. Wow! What an interesting experience I have to say. Everyone needs to see the process. There is nothing in “pretend” 8th grade mock trials that really prepare you for a plaintiff lawyer grilling you in voir dire. We were even …
My son LOVES Cascadian Farms’ “Oats and Honey Granola.” In fact, this is his favorite granola and won’t eat the other ones I make or buy – even the super awesome Trader Joe’s Mango Passion Granola. Or my delicious cherry orange granola. He often eats this each morning because Juliana and I like oatmeal – …
After finding out how easy it was to make a homemade chocolate pudding mix, I thought it would only be right to make vanilla as well. Now, we don’t eat vanilla pudding often, but there are a myriad of applications like adding pudding mixes to cakes, or making a very quick pastry cream, or using …
Do you know why fries are soooo fattening at the restaurants? Because they are fried…. twice! Restaurants can make fries super fast because they are already fried first at the plant before shipment. Then, the french fries are fried again before serving. I love this recipe for fries because yields crispy results and very tasty …
