Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Well, we finished Pi Day this week with a chicken pot pie this time. Now, we have St. Patrick’s Day with the traditional corned beef and cabbage. I have made Irish Soda Bread in the past from a mix and it is so easy to make yourself! Anyone can do it …
Howdy! Here are some of the latest fairy photos from a park photo shoot last week. I just love the sun behind trees and bushes!!! Creates such pretty bokeh. Book: I continue to read “Washington” by Ron Chernow in hopes that no one else in St. Charles county will request the book. It is …
Book Review: Full of large color photos and plenty of recipes, Giada’s new book is chock full of healthy ingredients and no canned recipes. This book is a great introduction for someone who might want to try eating healthier and introduce themselves to new foods like chia seeds, bone broth and vegetable …
I will be posting a lot this week to catch up on the food and crafts that I have photographed over the Thanksgiving holiday! Here are some friends I photographed last week. I haven’t seen a deer come through for quite a while. This poor guy only has one antler! The squirrels are always …
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 …
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 …
Exercise: I like this Upper Body and Cardio workout because you get upper body strength training in while also doing cardio intervals. The upper body strength training usually doesn’t make you sweat, but alternating like this helps gets your heart going. If you are stuck in the middle of nowhere and can’t jump and can’t go …
I know some people are die hard Aldi lovers. But, I went to Aldi the other day and then stopped by Greyson’s Produce Stand on the way home. It was almost half the price! You MUST go there before Aldi. The produce was fresh, didn’t smell weird, nothing I had to throw away (like I sometimes …
Book: I am still on Dan Ariely’s “The Upside of Irrationality”. It’s interesting…. but I still don’t see an upside. His last experiment was basically about how we should break up our activities that we derive pleasure from (like read a book, hobbies, etc.) and just plow through those activities that we find …
Book: I finished “Leaving Time” by Jodi Picoult… since my library gives me ONE week to read this particular book or suffer $1 per day! But I can’t say anything about the ending or that might ruin it for you and you do NOT want to have the ending ruined in this book. I probably …
