Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
So… I got an email the other day asking for 6 cakes. Carrot cakes. The kind that requires lots of shredding of carrots and toasting of nuts. Now I see why box mixes are sooooo convenient and desirable. I think a box mix would have been about $3 and the crap frosting in a can …
Recipe: I couldn’t decide which recipe to post, so I picked both! Make sure to scroll down for #1 and #2. I like adding blueberries to fruit recipes. They add another dimension of flavor, color and uniqueness to the dish. I’ve done this before with the cherry blueberry pie recipe. Normally, I use frozen peaches …
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. …
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 know I try to post only whole ingredients and replace mixes, but there was this sale…. and well, the cookie mixes were practically FREE! So, I bought some to experiment. If you ever need something fast and easy AND outstanding to take to a pot luck that looks homemade – THIS is it. Perfect …
This was probably the very first Pioneer Woman recipe I ever made. Though I believe it has been around in church potlucks for about 15 years or however long Pillsbury has been churning out crescent dough. 🙂 I can’t believe I never posted it before, but I made this way back in 2008 when I …
Bread pudding seems to be making a come back in many restaurants. Once seen perhaps as something made of leftovers, it is usually elevated with a boozy sauce on top to create a dreamy and creamy dessert. Since I love french toast, I naturally love bread pudding, too. I tried a caramel apple bread …
I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I picked up “Holes” by Sachar to add to my YA reading list. Between YA books, I have been reading “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” by Thomas Foster. Boy, where was THAT book when I needed it ten years ago? It sums up pretty much every …
Happy Birthday! My baby boy turns 6 today. <sniff sniff> I really like this age and wish he could stay this way forever sometimes. Kids are so optimistic and full of energy. He had his class party on Friday and that was really fun. We threw snowballs at a homemade cardboard snowman (thank you Costco …
