Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Today is a “Snow Day” due to the ice on the roads this morning! Modot, the news, everyone is asked to stay off the roads. So, instead of going to work I made sourdough granola. It is probably my new favorite. Lots of big chunks, incredibly versatile with different add-ins, low in sugar and oil, …
Good morning!! Peach season is here! Oh we have a wonderful farm just 10 minutes down the road to pick blackberries and peaches. Of course they are the best tasting! There are Redstar and Redhavens available now and the kids had so much fun that we went twice this week! At least it makes …
Good Day! My son has made this twice now and I realized I made it last year without ever posting it! It is really good and if a 10 year old can make granola – YOU can too! Granola is sooo easy to make and sooo expensive at the store. Feel free to also check …
Exercise: I keep forgetting to add an exercise update! Here is Abs on Fire – a routine that does rounds of abs and rounds of cardio for 30 minutes. Like everything on there, it is totally free and they don’t sell you anything. Just preach real food and good exercise routines 🙂 Food: Kid …
Book: I have found another Alton Brown book! How does he have the time? Well, anyway it is “I’m Just Here for More Food: Version 2.0 Baking”. This is probably the BEST baking book out there for understanding baking. I love love love King Arthur Flour and all of their recipe books. But, if …
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 …
This may be one of the dumbest or greatest things I’ve bought for my kitchen. I will have to let you know once I receive it and start using it. We love breakfast sandwiches, but the assembly and everything can take time. I don’t always have them frozen on hand, so I thought this might …
Book Update: I’m still plowing through “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk” and agree with almost everything. Except they mention how parents don’t listen to what their kids are saying like “I’m hungry” even when the child just ate. Indeed, they could still be hungry. But sometimes kids …
My son LOVES Cascadian Farms’ “Oats and Honey Granola.” In fact, this is his favorite granola and won’t eat the other ones I make or buy – even the super awesome Trader Joe’s Mango Passion Granola. Or my delicious cherry orange granola. He often eats this each morning because Juliana and I like oatmeal – …
I kind of feel left behind in the whole energy bite phase. I made these No Bake Cheerios bites back in 2004 and published them on my blog about a year ago. Now, if you swap the corn syrup for honey, then you pretty much get something similar to the no bake energy bite snacks. …
