Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Good morning!!!! I am 170 days away from graduation with my Masters in School Counseling with Licensure. Hopefully, we will have more recipes after that! This one was so good that I am making sure to add it to the blog. This soup is a staple during the winter months. We went from 82 degrees …
Good Afternoon! The Super Bowl here in Missouri was quite the event – as you may have figured since the Kansas City Chiefs were playing! To celebrate, I tried to recreate a delicious stuffed sandwich served at “St. Louis Kolache”. A “kolache” is technically a sweet pastry with fruit in the middle that originated from …
Happy March Everyone! Pi Day – March 14th – was a fantastic day! I made my mom’s chicken pot pie recipe, a new chicken pot pie recipe and homemade cherry pie filling with the scraps leftover from the pot pies. We had a fantastic time! So soon it will be summer – some day – …
I hope your summer has been awesome!! Here in Missouri we are at 100 degrees or more every day and 101 on Saturday without the heat index! So instead of swimming in the bathwater temperature pool, we had a family reunion on Sunday. For the main meat, I purchased 10 pounds of pork shoulder to …

On the home front is this super sweet family session from last week. I love the nearby park and taking photos where families with small children that only need to drive 5 minutes away. It’s so hard with small children especially in the evening! These are some of my favorites… Recipe: If you are …
Happy Sunday! Recipes! There were over 200,000 Instant Pots sold on Amazon on Prime Day. I have been posting about it since I received mine this winter and thought I would compile. Use these recipes as guides. The shredded chicken can be used with BBQ sauce, salsa or just plain to freeze for …
Most stir-fry dishes are the same: chicken or beef. I like to have another option in my pocket because well… sometimes you get tired of chicken and beef. Or, pork chops go on sale and you want to do something else to them other than fry them up in apples and rosemary. Which happens 99% …
I purchased a rash guard last summer for swimming and it was the BEST investment I ever made, so I thought I would share it here. Since they went on sale, I purchased another one so that I have one for swimming and one for just hanging out at the pool or if I know …
Happy June Everyone! Books: I started Brenda Maddox’s book “Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Side of DNA” which is a biography of the woman behind the famous “X” photograph of the crystallized DNA molecule. This photograph led Watson and Crick to the structure of DNA and the Nobel Prize in 1962. Since Rosalind died of cancer …
