Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Book Update: I finished “Killing Jesus” and thought it was well worth the read. The historical context of Jesus and his ministry just cannot be brought to life with the bible alone. The authors go into the history of Rome, its emperors, the politics behind the chief priest and Pilate, and the history of the …
Life Update: Since I can never leave well enough alone, I made a second Christmas card. Long story short… it would cost me just as much to get 25 cards and envelopes made in 4×6 format as the Costco jumbo size Christmas cards with envelopes. So, I had to make one for the Costco standard …
Book Update: This is a review and book update! The wonderful Heirloom Cookie Sheet company is creating a super awesome cookie book, and they were nice enough to ask me to be a part of it. I received a cookie sheet and a cookie recipe to make and review. The only compensation was a cookie …
Book Update: My 3 year old is still requesting “Calvin and Hobbes” each night and I feel like I have read every single strip ever created. But, they’re awesome, so it’s okay. Here is probably my favorite so far if I had to choose just one. The strip can be found here. Below is the …
Book Update: I’ve been working on my Christmas list and my Christmas gift ideas list. I know Christmas seems so far away, but after making Christmas cookies for the upcoming Heirloom Cookie Sheet promo and post, I just seem to feel the need to plan ahead. Here were some of my ideas: Cinnamon Rolls in …
Recipe: I wanted a lemony cookies for my birthday and found this recipe on the Food Network with 894 five star reviews. Since I had leftover ricotta cheese from my Caprese Lasagna, I wanted to use up the rest before it went bad. These cookies were kid approved! Maddox loved putting the lemon icing on …
Book Update: Since my last book was on exercise, I thought I would read another to answer some questions I’ve always had or challenge the view that I was taught 15 years ago while in high school. “Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?” by Alex Hutchinson is even better than the last book I read “The …
I have made Rolo Cookies from scratch before, but these come from a mix so a lot of the work is already done for you. Just like my easy peach crisp… these come from an easy mix with just a couple other ingredients. I think a pecan on top would be AWESOME!! But, the recipients …
Book Update: I just got Bobby Deen’s new cookbook from the library called “From Mama’s Table to Mine” which has fewer calories and less fat than Paula Deen’s recipes. I will let you know how it goes. The shrimp and grits, red velvet cake, cornbread and BBQ pork look divine! Normally, before I purchase or …
Book Update: In positive psychology, we studied well-being again in reference to our life-span. Apparently, there really is a mid-life crisis according to experts and women typically have one around their mid-forties and men in their late forties. I found it interesting that generally (everything is general in these studies!) women grow happier until age …
