Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Whew! So I finally have a kitchen again that has more than 2 drawers, but with that comes LOTS of moving and unpacking. Bonus – I didn’t have to exercise because I was moving furniture! I love practical and functional in one 🙂 So here are the rooms I have done so far in the …
I am almost finished with reading “The Chaperone” by Laura Moriarty. What a cool name to have! Anyway, I would give it 4/5 stars. I love that it is a page turner with some twists and turns. It is really interesting to learn and remember how times have changed from 100 years ago. I wouldn’t …
Hey Everybody!!!! So… I’ve been doing this blog 3 years. THREE years. Non-stop through anything and everything. That is until I sold my home. It’s like a 24 hour job! Cleaning 3 times per day, packing half of the house into a truck and then a storage unit, touching up inside and out. Wow! …
I’ve made this recipe quite a few times and this time we made them for Valentine’s Day. I couldn’t believe I was 14 days behind on photos! We hired a real estate agent on Saturday and putting the house up for sale on Thursday or Friday – so, it has been quite the busy week. …
Good morning! My husband loved this banana bread and the kids are very fond of banana as well. The “Cooking Light” people did a different take on banana bread by caramelizing the sugars in the bananas first before mashing them into the quick bread recipe. I left off the glaze, but certainly feel free …
Welcome to the new website!!!! I am in the process of moving subscribers with the WordPress division. So, please check the Facebook page, Pinterest or the new website for any updates! I still have 2 things to work on, but everything is working great and went ahead with the move. This is my millionth biscuit …
Recipe: I know I know, fall is over. But I do love pumpkin and it looks so pretty on the table! These may have actually stolen the crown of my favorite rolls: honey wheat rolls. As usual, I made these in the bread machine because #1 It’s faster and #2 bread actually turns out better …
Book Update: Completely finished “Allegiant” (Book 3) by Veronica Roth! What I can tell you is DON’T read this book. What a waste… just a waste. Wow. Where to start? The plot is full of holes. The characters don’t make any sense between the first two books and this book. The narration is changed …
Book Update: I heard the tail end of an NPR interview with the authors of “1,227 Quite Interesting Facts to Blow Your Socks Off.” Sometimes trivia is organizing by category or subject, but not this book. It’s just a lot of random facts that are roughly organized. Some of the things I knew… but not …
Here are some photos I took with the kids at the pumpkin patch! Love these memories! It’s chili season and chili calls for cornbread. I love the crispiness that cornbread gets when cooked in a cast iron skillet. This is a northern cornbread recipe – the cornbread is mildly sweet. Not too sweet, but it’s …
