Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: The “new books” section of the library is right by checkout. Since I have had the kids nonstop for… 3 months now… I’m not able to really preview anything there. I grab my books at the library and hope for the best! Like clothes at Old Navy or bras at Victoria Secret. Or …
Book Update: The kids and I have been reading Calvin and Hobbes for about two months now. I am pretty sure the parts about how society is just trying to make us miserable with ourselves in order to buy their stuff, the irony of deer killing an office worker in order to thin the ever-growing …
Book Update: I finally finished most of “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers.” It was probably one of the most technical “science” book I have read in 10 years, but it was worth it. I know more about glucocorticoids than I ever thought possible… since I never even heard of them before. If you want to know …
Book Update: Recipe Update: I have done this numerous times and thought I would share how easy it is to make two meals at once on the stove top. Most of us probably have made double of the same thing. Since there are only 2 adults and 2 children, we don’t eat typical 6 serving …
Awww, Maddox won 3rd place in the Mario Kart Tournament!!! He beat out his age group and then advanced to the final round with all age groups. So proud of him!! Book Update: Sitting in the “new books” section of the library was “Raising the Curve: A Year Inside One of America’s 45,000 Failing Schools” …
Book Update: This month’s book club book is “Skeletons on the Zahara” by Dean King. It is a true story of a twelve American sailors who shipwrecked onto the west coast of Africa in 1815. Almost 5 stars on Amazon as well. I’ve been perusing my old Good Eats books (Volumes 1, 2 and 3 …
Don’t let the “paleo” label scare you. I stayed away from it too at first thinking the food wasn’t going to be good or because it is soooo healthy it can’t possibly taste better. I am not on the paleo diet. I think of my diet as more in terms of the things I do …
Yep, you can even lighten up a cheeseburger! Don’t give them up – here’s how! They calculate 360 calories per burger – which may be less depending on your bun. I use Healthy Life buns without the HFCS and using whole grains. This is also my new favorite way to cook burgers. Since the …
Another hit from my America’s Test Kitchen book “Comfort Food Makeovers”. This was sooooo good. Comfort food to the max – burger and cheese in pie form. The calorie count is 270 calories, 12 grams of fat and 5 grams of saturated fat. My topping isn’t as pretty as theirs because I had lots of …
Do you know why fries are soooo fattening at the restaurants? Because they are fried…. twice! Restaurants can make fries super fast because they are already fried first at the plant before shipment. Then, the french fries are fried again before serving. I love this recipe for fries because yields crispy results and very tasty …
