Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I’ve perused quite a few cookbooks in my time and the past year reading about kitchen science. The science behind how stuff works in the kitchen and the why. Although I am no expert in science beyond high school AP Biology, I found the following very very interesting. I will try to site my sources …
My husband is out of town this week. Either I’ll bake everything under the sun, or be too busy to post. I’m not sure! It will probably depend on if I get a part in “South Pacific” that I auditioned for yesterday. I’ll be depressed or elated. Only time will tell…. Back to food… My …
I prefer yeast doughnuts like the ones I made here. But according to the book that Top Pot Doughnuts wrote, more people like cake donuts instead which is why they make lots of cake donuts at their shop. So, if you are a cake donut person, then this recipe is for you! Say you don’t …
I saw this first at Panera and though it is not a copycat, it was delicious. The recipe comes from The Food Network magazine that I just recently subscribed. It has some wonderful other things in it I want to try like chocolate ice cubes. How cool is that? My husband ate half the …
I’ve made quite a few homemade brownies. Some out of convenience like this one. But these are awesome. And the added bonus is the shiny crust that you don’t see as often in homemade brownies (which might be why the homemade versions get frosting?). Well, anyway I’ve noticed that at potluck and things if the …
Mom made these cookies all the time. The 3 of us girls (later 5 of us since my other 2 sisters were born 10 years later) would all gather around the table with our Betty Crocker Frosting bowls ready for these cookies to cool. These are a soft sugar cookie if you like that kind …
Well, the title is my take on chunky monkey muffins. I don’t think these could make you very chunky! There isn’t much to them. My neighbor and friend made them for the kids one day and Maddox shoved like 4 in his mouth while going out the door – after he’d already had his snack. …
This bread has been all over pinterest and back. It involves the good and true way of kneading, punching, forming, warming, etc. But I have a bread machine to do all that! So, I figured why not and tried to throw the recipe in the bread machine to see what happened. It worked! I …
Next post: Skinny Monkey Muffins (instead of Chunky Monkey) These muffins were soooo good! I combined a bunch of morning glory muffin recipes and picked what I liked and this is what happened. The kids loved them, too! They don’t even know there are carrots in them. They baked up perfectly in my muffin tins …
I love candy as much as the next person, but with everything the kids will get at school or from friends, I try to keep my gifts something different and maybe more healthy. This is a craft I created and one of those ah -ha! moments like I could get rich and famous on it… …
