Tweet! I found this recipe from a pin on Pinterest.. And the person who pinned it found it through a pin on Pinterest.. It apparently was an adapted recipe from Rachael Ray.. Whom I found out is my 9th cousin on my step-fathers side.. Ok – that last part is an outright lie. But can [...]

Tweet! I got home from Church today and made a pitcher of cherry limeade – Have you ever had one of those at Sonic? They are the best..I adore them.. Apparently other people do too – I did a post on how to make your own last July. It is still one of my most [...]

Tweet!   I know it sounds kind of shallow.. Then again, I am blonde. Sometimes chocolate can make or break a day for me. It has been a busy week, and a busy day. Today I finally gave up my dream of having a garage sale and making $1,000. I filled up the back of [...]

Tweet! As those of you who follow me on Facebook already know – I have been working on redoing my kitchen cabinets for the past few days. I have been MIA from my blog during that time. We are almost done with the cabinet section we have been working on, and they are so gorgeous! [...]

Tweet! I was stalking Pinterest a couple of days ago and found this recipe from Smashed Peas and Carrots called No-Bake Energy Bites. She totally had me at No-Bake..

Tweet!   I have always loved carrot cake..  my family, however, does not share this taste. Well, my daughters might, but my husband and son have a restraining order against all forms of vegetables, except for french fries, hash browns, and mashed potatoes. Which we all know are the pillars of a healthy nutrition chart. [...]

Tweet! I made my Mama’s homemade ice cream this week… I was a good girl and made it with entirely fat free ingredients… Then I added coffee, chocolate, and crushed oreo’s – Defeating the purpose of the fat free angle? No – I prefer to think of it as picking where I want my fat [...]

Tweet! I have to confess. I have a weakness for Sonic Cherry Limeade. Especially at around 2:00 in the afternoon, which is Sonics “Happy Hour” All drinks are 1/2 price… So obviously, both my taste buds and my thrifty nature are tempted beyond belief. Last week we had a birthday party for my Grandson, who [...]

Tweet! I know what you are thinking…. Potato Soup in the heat of summer?? Yes!! A big hearty yes to that question! You can make this recipe without heating up the kitchen. And homemade potato soup is pretty tough to turn down, especially when it is my Mom’s recipe. The people at Knorr sent me [...]

Tweet!Does anyone else out there have a love for citrus? I admit I have a mad passion for lemons and limes…. and oranges and grapefruit.. Citrus is just so refreshing, and with it’s tart flavor it works great in desserts when you are looking for that sweet-tart taste.. So last week when I was looking [...]

Tweet! If you are looking for a treat that is not too sweet, and tastes like you spent the day slaving in the kitchen to produce it, look no further. The only thing that could make these lemon rolls better would be if they were low in calories… but a girl can’t have everything. I [...]
