Resource Revisited

July 26, 2007

 
Awhile back, you may have read my review about the summer edition of EAT magazine.  I am coming back today to rave about this magazine. Things have been crazy in our house this month and as much as I love cooking, it is one of those things that is getting pushed to the back burner. [...]

You’ve Been Mislead

July 23, 2007

 
Recently, I have had a large number of hits on my blog from people who have found my little slice of the web by Googling things such as "Losing the Baby Fat". Next to my Monkey Bread post from long ago, the two posts I made about attempting to lose the baby weight have brought [...]

What kind of fool…?

July 19, 2007

 
What kind of fool has her oven on during the middle of the day when it is hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk outside? You know what? I am that kind of fool. I am the kind of fool that was tempted last week by a Banana Cake photo and article I [...]

Rejection

July 13, 2007

Peaks and Valleys

July 10, 2007

 
Isn’t it funny how marriage has its peaks and valleys? I am happily married. I married a wonderful man who works extremely hard every day away from home to provide for us. When he comes home, he happily shares in the housework, the cooking, the taking care of the kids, etc. I am spoiled and [...]

Peanut Butter Perfection

July 9, 2007

 
I have never been a huge fan of peanut butter cookies. It isn’t that I don’t like the flavor of them… it is just that they are so inconsistent. You never know what you are going to get when you bite into a homemade peanut butter cookie. Is it going to be crunchy? Will it [...]

Excuses, Excuses

July 8, 2007

 
Who needs an excuse to make something cool and refreshing like sorbet? I don’t, but just for kicks and grins I will give you the top five reasons why sorbet was on our dessert menu today:

The temperature today, where I live, topped at 92 degrees Fahrenheit… it was H-O-T hot! Hot chocolate just won’t do [...]
