Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
**Update 11/26/12: So I have made these about…. 12 times over and they worked perfectly every time until now. Either Rolo has changed their formula (some companies do because of allergy requirements or to remove trans fats as the Nabisco company did for the Oreo), or the changes I did made a big difference: I …
We interrupt this regularly scheduled program to bring you royal icing and sugar cookies! I have two pork tenderloin recipes ready to go for matching with the Maple Mash Butternut Squash. However, I had another wonderful group of moms at a local MOPS group hear my presentation on how to decorate cakes and cupcakes. Everyone …
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 …
Summer is my favorite time for citrus. This cookie can be anything you want it to be – fall, summer, spring or winter. You can use a seasonal jam like I did here with strawberry-rhubarb, or try these around the holidays with blueberry or a more traditional apricot. If you are interested in a great …
Book Update: So, “The Screwtape Letters” is possible one of the weirdest (but in a good way) books I have ever read in my life. Everything evil is good, and everything good/heaven is bad. It is written in epistle form with Screwtape, a training devil, giving advice to his nephew and trainee, Wormwood. Some interesting …
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 …
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 …
Good morning everyone! I hope you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas! Book Update: I completely finished “Happy Money” and thought it was a worthwhile read. Although the jokes were… odd… for an academic book. It almost made me wish I had rethought Christmas presents. One of the main points of the book was to …
