For Christmas, SuperMan got me a cookbook I had been dying to get. (he is awesome that way) It’s Flour Water Salt Yeast by Ken Forkish – I’d heard him speak on Martha Stewart radio one day while I was waiting in the carpool line. I was impressed with his story – leaving the tech … Continue reading »
Happy Monday, y’all. It’s raining cats & dogs outside and my body is telling me that I need to curl up on the sofa with a good book and take a nap. Hibernate until the rain is gone. But, since it is supposed to rain for the next THREE DAYS I don’t think hibernating is … Continue reading »
I know, I know, goodies in the crock pot? I will admit I’ve never successfully cooked very many sweet things in the crock pot. To me, the crock pot is reserved for savory dishes, soups and stews. But I just had to share this with you. My neighbor’s mom makes this every year and we … Continue reading »
I think I have mentioned before that my favorite cake is the Apple Cake that my mom and I make all the time. I absolutely love it. Not too sweet but just perfect with a cup of tea, or coffee or all by itself. I found this Autumn Cake recipe on Pinterest and decided to … Continue reading »
Y’all, I am really here. I promise. It’s been one of those weeks (again) – Big Girl is sick – 100+ fevers for three days now. I’ve been sick. Work is crazy. Life is nuts. But we’re surviving, we’re hangin’ in there. I’m just remembering my priorities and focusing on those and letting the rest … Continue reading »
Well, that was fun (not) – I’ve been sick for the past two days with a stomach bug – the kind that reminded me of the worst morning sickness days of my pregnancies. I lived off of saltine crackers, plain bagels and ginger ale for two and a half days. Not sure if it … Continue reading »
My menu plans went out the window this week when the girls got sick. I needed comfort food, and fast. I had pinned this recipe and decided to try it out – I figured it might be comfort food-y enough to give the girls some goodness in their sick little bodies. I mean, doesn’t that … Continue reading »
Hello, Sweet Things! Happy Saturday to you! It’s an overcast, gloomy day here in our neck of the woods… looks like it will be rainy around here for the next four or five days. I’m not complaining, though, because it means the weather will cool down even more and that means I might get … Continue reading »
I love trying new recipes. This is new for me as I used to be very hesitant to do that. If I went to the trouble of cooking something (and I was hungry) I wanted guaranteed success. I wanted to know my time, effort and ingredients were going to reward me with yumminess to enjoy. … Continue reading »
My girls love “shepherd’s pie.” Well, they love the shepherd’s pie that I make for them which has no vegetables in it. Which, to me, is not really shepherd’s pie. No matter what they say. However, the “shepherd’s pie” that I make for them is an adaptation of one of my favorite things my mom … Continue reading »
