Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book: Our bible study was talking about “serving” this past weekend which is funny because I’ve also been reading Bob Goff’s bestselling book “Love Does.” It is a fantastic book about loving people and doing something about it. The chapters are 2 pages each and only little 5 minute stories. He spoke at our MOPS …
Book: I finished the first book in the trilogy “Matched” by Allyson Condie. The cover of the book is done very, very well. Would I recommend this book? If you liked The Giver by Lois Lowry then yes. If you like “Brave New World” you will like this book. Similarities with the two books. Jonah …
Book: Book Club this month picked “Matched” by Ally Condie and is really good. If you like “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, then you will probably like this book. It is another Young Adult Literature Dystopia novel following a young girl named Cassia. Recipe: If you need yet another apple recipe, this is it. A great fall …
Book: I attended MomCon 2015 with some awesome others like Crystal Paine, Margaret Feinberg, Sherry Surrat, Amena Brown and the amazing Bob Goff. I cannot wait to summarize what awesome stuff I learned this weekend! For now, I will introduce and review “Thresholds: How to Thrive through Life’s Transitions to Live Fearlessly and Regret …
Books: Book Club is reading “The Silver Star” by Jeanette Walls. It may sound familiar because she wrote the book club classic “The Glass Castle”. Great story so far about two girls in a not so great situation with their mom and they find a new path to take. For non-fiction, I have The …
Cookies for Breakfast! Actually, we use these for an after school snack as well. No flour or butter and only one mixing bowl makes them a snap to make in the kitchen. These cookies are full of peanut buttery flavor and super duper soft and gooey. Add any flavor chips to create your own …
Okay, I should call these “Quick Baguettes” because true French baguettes require a very long overnight rise time. If you have that kind of time, here is a good French Baguette recipe. Great for sandwiches, side dishes and soups! As for me and my house…. we will be making fast baguettes. 🙂 These are super …
I made these on homemade baguettes. That recipe will be next! Why homemade baguettes? Because I’m too lazy to run to the store when I can dump the ingredients into my bread machine. These sandwiches are awesome and you DON’T need to make your own baguettes! You DO need to make these sandwiches. Please, pretty …
Books: Kiddo is back in school and that means more reading books around his level. We have been reading “Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin” by Liesl Shurtliff. The kids are just loving it because the main character’s name refers to a “butt”, so anything butt/fart related is of course instantly amusing to kids. So …
My kids have a thing for Sloppy Joes. I have a thing for super easy mixes that are all ready to go in my pantry! I ran out of my Wildtree Sloppy Joe Mix and tried to make my own. This is pretty close. I try to keep my pantry pretty simple, and we …
