Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
This is my biggest pet peeve with recipes and Martha Stewart does this a LOT. Her first instruction in cookies (and some other recipes) is #1 preheat to oven to 350 degrees. And then by step 3, you are told to put the dough in the oven for an hour or MORE. Like seriously?! …
Fitness Update: So ever since I did my post on exercising and losing weight, I have been trying different free youtube fitness workouts. Now, I require them to be a full workout and something I can do without much thinking. Fitness Blender definitely fits the bill. I love their very down to earth manner. They …
Book Update: No books. I did watch “Saving Mr. Banks”. Such a great movie! Emma Thompson was sooo good. Tonight, I saw “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” because my friend John was in the musical. Here’s my new lunchbox though! I can’t wait. I wish I was teaching school just to put it on my desk. Recipe: So …
I know it is winter… but I still love pumpkin 🙂 High in fiber and vitamin A – it is available all year round in the pumpkin puree can. My store started marking them half off since the season is over and I bought more! Plus, the kids LOVED these. They ate them up like …
If you have been reading this blog for a while, you know I’m not a huge fan of chocolate. I had a friend about 5 years ago who didn’t like it at ALL. I couldn’t understand her! What? You crazy woman? 5 years later, I totally get it. I know I’m weird. BUT – I …
Here is the EASIEST chocolate frosting I have ever made. It will frost 24 cupcakes using a knife to spread it like a can of frosting would. To make high pillars of frosting on top, you will need to double the recipe. And… NO trans fats! The FDA is going to ban them soon anyway, …
Book Update: So, I read through the first movie of “The Hobbit” and my book has been reserved at the library. I guess I’ll have to wait for the third movie to come out 😉 Freezer Breakfast Step By Step Printable Freezer Breakfast: Breakfast can be one of the hardest parts of the day to …
Recipe: These cookies are great for chocolate lovers trying to reduce calories. I also have a version for us non-chocolate people using maple instead of chocolate. SWEET! Or, you could omit the cocoa powder and just have mini chocolate chips. Chocolate Chip Meringue Cookies 30 cookies 1/2 cup egg whites at room temperature (about 4 …
Book Update: I’ve learned some new and interesting things from “Salt, Sugar, Fat” by Michael Moss… Like Oscar Meyer had a bologna problem back in the 80’s and 90’s. Red meat was being purchased less and less as a result of the “fat is bad” boom from the 1980’s. Nothing new. However, Lunchables were created …
Book Update: I finished “Killing Jesus” and thought it was well worth the read. The historical context of Jesus and his ministry just cannot be brought to life with the bible alone. The authors go into the history of Rome, its emperors, the politics behind the chief priest and Pilate, and the history of the …
