Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Two great teachable moments this morning: a wonderful recipe AND cooking contest idea! The kids and I were watching “Worst Cooks in America” on the Food Network as the contestants were told how to make a dish. They watch the chef make it while taking notes and then have to create it themselves. …
BOOK REVIEW: The following book I highly recommend to ANY TEACHER OR PARENT: Ron Fournier writes a deeply honest and poignant story about his son Tyler who has Asperger’s. However, this is not a book about one child and one disability. Fournier ties together research from psychology, education, popular culture and …
Good morning fellow Star Wars fans! Book Update: I finished “Three Weeks with My Brother” by Nicholas and Micah Sparks. It was our book club book for this month. It was really good! It is the story of Nicholas growing up while woven with his present day story of his trip around the world with …
Recipe Updates: I made the Tortellini with Italian Sausage two more times now. I used only one pound of Italian sausage and another time used one pound of turkey Italian sausage (Aldi carries it). The taste is a little different, but still very good. I tried to make chocolate chia pudding. Day 1, none …
Books: I’m reading two books at the same time right now. Why? Uh, I dunno. The other one is “When to Rob a Bank”… which has nothing to do with the other book….. In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day by Matt Batterson. It makes for a good read. Although after repeating the same …

The musical talent is awesome. Plus, it’s free! I will take some more detailed photos and explain how to do the cookies step by …
Books: I checked out some new slow cooker books along with “Little Women” (which I just realized is almost 500 pages long! Oops, I have a week to finish!). The library presentation is at Corporate Parkway Library on May 5th here in Wentzville MO if anyone is interested. It is how to “Make Your Favorite …
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 …
Whew! So I finally have a kitchen again that has more than 2 drawers, but with that comes LOTS of moving and unpacking. Bonus – I didn’t have to exercise because I was moving furniture! I love practical and functional in one 🙂 So here are the rooms I have done so far in the …
Summer is my favorite time for citrus. This cookie can be anything you want it to be – fall, summer, spring or winter. You can use a seasonal jam like I did here with strawberry-rhubarb, or try these around the holidays with blueberry or a more traditional apricot. If you are interested in a great …
