Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
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 …
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 …

Soooo… I’m thinking of starting an Etsy shop! I will post some fun things soon. I usually post my crafts on my personal Facebook page, but I wanted to start a shop which would make it easier for me to handle sales taxes. “Whisk Together” is very high on Google searches and I’m trying to …
I found an interesting book entitled “Make the Bread, Buy the Butter: What You Should and Shouldn’t Cook from Scratch” by Jennifer Reese. It’s very charming, funny and witty. It is like reading exactly what goes on inside my head… which is kind of scary and comforting at the same time. I also enjoy the …
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 …
