Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Life Update: Since I can never leave well enough alone, I made a second Christmas card. Long story short… it would cost me just as much to get 25 cards and envelopes made in 4×6 format as the Costco jumbo size Christmas cards with envelopes. So, I had to make one for the Costco standard …
Book Update: I’ve been working on my Christmas list and my Christmas gift ideas list. I know Christmas seems so far away, but after making Christmas cookies for the upcoming Heirloom Cookie Sheet promo and post, I just seem to feel the need to plan ahead. Here were some of my ideas: Cinnamon Rolls in …
Book Update: I was chosen to make Spritz cookies for the holiday book for Heirloom’s Baking Sheet. The recipe looks very pretty! I started reading “The Rent Collector” by Camron Wright. It is a captivating read and enjoying the first part of it – which is sometimes the slow part of books. The setting is …
Book Update: I began reading “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” by Robert Sapolsky. The writing style is very easy to read and he inserts some humor. There is a lot of information and a lot of notes in the back as well. This is a great book for anyone who stresses about anything. It explains …
Book Update: Since my last book was on exercise, I thought I would read another to answer some questions I’ve always had or challenge the view that I was taught 15 years ago while in high school. “Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?” by Alex Hutchinson is even better than the last book I read “The …
This is a kid-friendly, family-friendly, summer-friendly recipe that has been updated from a typical pudding and oreos 9×13 slab. The kids love the worms and “dirt” made of crushed Oreo cookies (or Trader Joe’s Jo Jo’s) Dirt Cup Trifle serves 16-20 people (you may want to halve the recipe for a smaller group) 15 oz. …
There is a serious lack of desserts lately! I’m sorry. But, this recipe will make it up to you. I promise. The chocolate cake is dark and moist. The layers of cookies and cream are like the tasty cream filling of an oreo cookies (I used Trader Joe’s Jo Joe’s). Now after making this, here …
Book Update: No new books. Evenings are spent with the kids, cleaning up after the kids… and then that is all the time I have left. Other than mindlessly finding more stuff to make on Pinterest. 🙂 Recipe Update: Many people want something that doesn’t require baking during the summer. This treat is cool and …
I took a quick photo of my daughter with one of my new backdrops and just had to post it 🙂 Plus, this is a kid-friendly food blog post, so I thought it would be okay. Yep, that is a backdrop! I don’t have any props – just gave her the chair from her room …
Book Update: The things that we are told to make us happy is a total lie. I feel so used. Ok, not really. But, I read about this cool term called “hedonistic adaption” which explains so much! So, hedonism is that term we forgot from high school that is a school of thought where pleasure is …
