Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy New Year! I haven’t posted much this year. A lot of July through December goes towards working on our Dinner Theater, “The Charitable Sisterhood Christmas Spectacular.” One of the fun things I made for the potlock for the show were the Black Bean Brownies! And they are great for gluten-free friends, so they can …
Look! A recipe with NO pumpkin in it! Wild huh? Didn’t think that was possibly didja? Well, when we are not making pumpkin (there is pumpkin oatmeal in my oven right now! LOL) Here’s my weekends so far: rehearsing for “It’s a Wonderful Life” the play and dinner theatre which is now SOLD OUT. 3 …
Reading now: I finished watching part of the HBO drama “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” with Oprah since I adore the book. The book is fantastic and was a hit at our book club! I really couldn’t finish the HBO show. I was bored …. maybe because I knew what was going to happen? …
Book: Our book club book for the month is “I am Malala: The Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Changed the World” by Malala Yousafzai. If you need a quick biography to read, then this book may interest you. It is only 195 pages. The person herself- Malala – is first-rate five stars wowzer person. She …
Oh yes, we have LOTS of spaghetti squash here thanks to Aldi. The stock up store. And their 69 cents squash sale! Unless you want to stock up on: canned green chilies and whole wheat sandwich buns…. then you’re pretty much out of luck at Aldi. 🙂 But back to the squash. This recipe …
Book: I started reading “Big Little Lies” by Liane Moriarity. Someone had posted it on my Facebook feed. It is fiction, and it is hilarious! The book is PERFECT for this time of year, too! The moms are all at the school for the first day of kindergarten. I’m not a huge fiction fan, but …
Book: The reviews for “The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo are quite amusing. Here are the major points of the book. I like how they are highlighted in bold. That way I can just read the bold font and skip over the rest 🙂 Let’s start with one of the funniest …
Book: We finished “Walt Disney” by Bob Scollen and it was a treat. What an amazing life the man led! I am sure there was a lot left out since it was a juvenile book, but maybe that is for another time. I finished reading Desires and Devices: A History of Contraceptives in America by …
Hope everyone had a GREAT Halloween! Ours was a little chilly…. like 37 degrees and hands freezing chilly. But the kids got their loot before 8pm, so they were all happy. Recipe: All buggers aside, this recipe is SUPER yummy, SUPER easy, SUPER healthy and Freezer Friendly. How can you go wrong? I make …
*Book Update* I finished “Before Happiness” by Shawn Achor and find it even better than his first book, “The Happiness Advantage.” The problem with a lot of these college studies is their sample source: young college students. Most of us aren’t young college students and most of us were not privileged to attend Harvard, Yale …
