Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
I purchased a new item at Fresh Thyme Grocery store last month from Cook Simple Meals. It was Tamale Pie and one of the best ones I have ever made. I couldn’t get enough of it! In addition, it was so simple to make even my 8 year old could throw it together based …
This past weekend we went to Rombach Farms. They had a bird show, so Maddox and I got our photo taken with Patriot the bald eagle! He was barely alive when they found him as a baby, but after mouth to mouth the instructor was able to revive the little guy. Ooey gooey pumpkin …
Book: Book Club this month picked “Matched” by Ally Condie and is really good. If you like “The Giver” by Lois Lowry, then you will probably like this book. It is another Young Adult Literature Dystopia novel following a young girl named Cassia. Recipe: If you need yet another apple recipe, this is it. A great fall …
Books: Kiddo is back in school and that means more reading books around his level. We have been reading “Rump: The True Story of Rumpelstiltskin” by Liesl Shurtliff. The kids are just loving it because the main character’s name refers to a “butt”, so anything butt/fart related is of course instantly amusing to kids. So …

Exercise: This 35 minute HIIT challenge will challenge you. Everything you may hate in a workout all in one! 🙂 Jumping lunges, burpees AND star jumps. One of those workouts that “hurts so good.” Book: “Death by Food Pyramid” by Denise Minger is my new book for the week. It has a lot of …
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 …
Happy February! Here are some great Football Feast recipes to help get you through the evening! 🙂 Chunky Chicken Chili Taco Chili Pizza Rolls Kachumber Salad Book: I finished teaching how to decorate sugar cookies with royal icing and not much time to start our book club book. My next venture presentation is in March …
We are still in peak holiday season, but that doesn’t mean we still can’t prep for the rest of the day’s nutrition before the cookies and candy come. This week – in addition to a Minecraft birthday party celebration (a future blog post)- I have been researching smoothies and how to get maximum nutrition into …
I hope everyone had a GREAT Thanksgiving. Apples are still flowing at the grocery stores and these little babies would be fabulous to whip up one evening to freeze for breakfast, a brunch party, a baby shower or when you are invited to someone’s house at the last minute. We served these scones at my …
