Finding Fabulous Food, Photos and Crafts to Share
This is another addition to a collection of all-in-one and skillet-to-oven dishes. Since I have read more negative things about non-stick surfaces, I have been using my cast iron more and more often. The cast iron simplifies cooking and makes for a speedy clean-up. And since I have … oh … a bushel of apples… …
So… I got an email the other day asking for 6 cakes. Carrot cakes. The kind that requires lots of shredding of carrots and toasting of nuts. Now I see why box mixes are sooooo convenient and desirable. I think a box mix would have been about $3 and the crap frosting in a can …
Recipe: I couldn’t decide which recipe to post, so I picked both! Make sure to scroll down for #1 and #2. I like adding blueberries to fruit recipes. They add another dimension of flavor, color and uniqueness to the dish. I’ve done this before with the cherry blueberry pie recipe. Normally, I use frozen peaches …
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 …
This is a kid-friendly, family-friendly, summer-friendly recipe that has been updated from a typical pudding and oreos 9×13 slab. The kids love the worms and “dirt” made of crushed Oreo cookies (or Trader Joe’s Jo Jo’s) Dirt Cup Trifle serves 16-20 people (you may want to halve the recipe for a smaller group) 15 oz. …
Book Update: No new books. Evenings are spent with the kids, cleaning up after the kids… and then that is all the time I have left. Other than mindlessly finding more stuff to make on Pinterest. 🙂 Recipe Update: Many people want something that doesn’t require baking during the summer. This treat is cool and …
I know I try to post only whole ingredients and replace mixes, but there was this sale…. and well, the cookie mixes were practically FREE! So, I bought some to experiment. If you ever need something fast and easy AND outstanding to take to a pot luck that looks homemade – THIS is it. Perfect …
This was probably the very first Pioneer Woman recipe I ever made. Though I believe it has been around in church potlucks for about 15 years or however long Pillsbury has been churning out crescent dough. 🙂 I can’t believe I never posted it before, but I made this way back in 2008 when I …
Bread pudding seems to be making a come back in many restaurants. Once seen perhaps as something made of leftovers, it is usually elevated with a boozy sauce on top to create a dreamy and creamy dessert. Since I love french toast, I naturally love bread pudding, too. I tried a caramel apple bread …
I hope everyone had a good Christmas! I picked up “Holes” by Sachar to add to my YA reading list. Between YA books, I have been reading “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” by Thomas Foster. Boy, where was THAT book when I needed it ten years ago? It sums up pretty much every …
