Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy New Year’s Eve! I hope everyone had a fantastic 2019 and we are ready for the next decade! We have been working on a “Unsolved Case File” that I received as a Christmas gift. We finally cracked the case last night! It was pretty fun – here is a photo of just some of …
Happy Spring Break!!! We just started spring break here and the kids are SOOOO excited! I was happy just to turn my alarms off this morning for the rest of the week! 🙂 My favorite alarm app is “Gentle Alarm” because it is very quiet and vibrates. The song gets louder and louder the longer …
Books: I am doing another presentation on “Making Your Favorite Foods Healthy” at the library. I’m very excited about sharing all the wonderful recipes and techniques I have accumulated in making foods healthier. The idea all started when I made brownies from black beans and no flour and no butter. The first section of the …
Recipe: So this is like my favorite dessert ever. I’m not sure why it took 4 years to post it. There are other versions like the one my mom makes for my birthday. (Yes, I get a strawberry pie instead of a cake.) Most have lots of Jello brand strawberry gelatin and some cut up …

Here I made something *almost* as simple and JUST as delicious. The only difference is that I frozen the pie. Why? One, I could …
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 …
Happy Pi Day! This is still my favorite pi recipe – Cherry Blueberry. Have a GREAT day!
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 …
I couldn’t just post any old pumpkin pie recipe, could I? I mean it’s on the back of every Libby’s Pumpkin can in America. This pumpkin pie is smooth and pumpkiny – just the way I like it. Not bland and ho hum. And don’t even think of putting that nasty hydrogenated oil (oops, I …
