Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
Happy Birthday! My baby boy turns 6 today. <sniff sniff> I really like this age and wish he could stay this way forever sometimes. Kids are so optimistic and full of energy. He had his class party on Friday and that was really fun. We threw snowballs at a homemade cardboard snowman (thank you Costco …
Most of us here in St. Louis are very familiar with ooey gooey butter cake. It is a dense layer of yellow cake underneath a luscious gooey layer of cream cheese. Very easy to make and this one is, too! I found this recipe was really good the same day, but even better when refrigerated and eaten …
Happy Thanksgiving!!! How wonderful it is to have an entire day dedicated to gratitude. The apple crisp pizza recipe was yummy, but it doesn’t feed much of a crowd. If you want to bring it to a potluck or large get together with 15 or more people, then this method might be the way to …
The banana bars recipe goes over so well, I thought I would turn it into a pumpkin bars recipe for Fall. Plus, canned pumpkin is always available. Frozen or brown bananas are easy, but not always as accessible. This turned out very moist even when I tried swapping applesauce for oil. The cream cheese frosting …
My friend, Bethany, really likes red velvet cheesecake. I have made one before, but this was for the baby shower and I was doing a mini theme. This time I made a totally baked version based on Dorothy’s (not my cousin Dorothy) Crazy for Crust blog. She has some really cool stuff on her website …
After reading “Bringing Up Bebe” by Pamela Druckerman, I thought it’d be fun to try some French or French-inspired foods. This recipe comes from the Limousin province of France where many cherries grow. Traditionally, the pits are not removed from the cherries which would definitely cut down on the prep time… but when consumed by …
I know it’s hot now… but it wasn’t last week when I made this. Actually the evenings here aren’t too bad! Well, Maddox’s favorite apple is Granny Smith, so I always have them on hand. I wanted a no-fuss, yummy recipe and this is what I picked from my “Cook’s Illustrated” cookbook. Normally, I’m apple …
This dessert is super simple. It screams flavor, healthy, simplicity, and summer. You might even have the stuff in your kitchen now to make it! Other ideas for this dessert: include some lemon zest when making your shortcakes and then put this on shortcakes instead of plain strawberries, serve with fresh whipped cream, or… cool …
Since most people have seen the dipped strawberries before, I have included it here with a new recipe of mine. I took my Blueberry Cheesecake Ice Cream and put it between graham crackers because I wanted cheesecake with a graham cracker crust, but I didn’t want to bake anything. They were super easy and handed …
These are my favorite dessert at French shops. Although here in suburb of a suburb that is hard to come by now. So, I made my own! Here is the yummy fruit tart recipe I put together. Normally, the filling is a custard which requires the stove and instead I cheated with a yummy cream …
