*Note: If you Googled dairy free Brazilian Cheese Bread you came to the right place. There are notes in the recipe on how to adapt it for dairy free results! School is back. I absolutely can’t believe Aiden is a first grader now; and away at school for a full day! It’s so strange not having…
I rarely bake with blueberries, despite the fact that they taste insanely good in baked goods. Blueberries are pretty expensive most of the time here in Colorado. So when I get them, I pretty much shove as many of them in my face as possible, immediately. They are too much of a treat to waste on…
Confession. I’m still playing that phone game, Clash of Clans. And I like it! I’ve progressed to the point where I almost no longer suck. I’m a clan leader, I can actually three star people in war, I know people in my clan… all of which means I actually play the game, perhaps entirely too…
I’ve really been digging on Maklemore’s song Thrift Shop lately. I don’t often listen to a lot of music where someone raps. At best I kind of dip my toes into the pool of music that is rap from time to time, but that’s about it. But in this case I love me that trumpet and…
I am so angry and irritated with Apple, that I am seriously tempted to migrate back to the world of PC/ Android. I’ve owned a mac for over 10 years now. I have an iPad mini. I have an iPhone. My husband has an iPhone. I am generally known to be a mac lover. Here’s…
Happy Tuesday! Ok, well, at least Monday is over right? I’m in a pretty good mood today if you can’t tell. How have things been going for you guys lately? It’s been busy around here, but in a good way. Last week I caught up on some languishing chores, took care of a lot of paperwork,…
I AM SO FRIED. I am only writing today because the world NEEDS TO KNOW about cream cheese scones, and it can not wait even another day. But, seriously, I am so fried. Last week the kids (and I) were sick all week, again. This is literally our 4th week in a row being sick….
Anybody out there have food allergies? I’ve actually started to get the hang of cooking for various food allergies as quite a number of people in our family suffer from some kind of food allergy. My husband Charlie is allergic to a few fruits (interestingly enough his cousins are allergic to the same fruits). My…
So did you guys watch the Super Bowl yesterday? I’ve gotta admit I wasn’t super interested since the Broncos weren’t playing… But I did catch a few commercials and some of the half time show. I thought Katy Perry sounded pretty good. No horrible squeaks or anything. Kinda strange costumes, but hey, what ya gonna…
Ok guys. I am so excited to share this recipe with you! As I said I attempted a few ambitious baking projects this past weekend, one of which is today’s recipe Kouign-Amann. Don’t worry I had no idea what a Kouign-Amann was when I first read about them in Mark Greenside’s, I’ll Never Be French No…
I’m kind of getting the Monday blues. It was a really nice weekend, despite Charlie and Aiden coming down with yet another bug Sunday morning. (Unfortunately, we just can not stay well this year. Seriously making me long for spring. Getting tired of all these colds!) Saturday morning, we took the boys to McDonalds so they could run around and…
♫ It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you go. ♫ Too true, right? The stores have the trees, the lights, the endless gift possibilities. The radio is playing Christmas music. The kids are practicing for their Christmas play at church. Amazon really, really thinks I need to buy party shoes. There might even…
What do you do when you have leftover mashed potatoes? Not long ago I shared a recipe for sneaky healthy mashed potatoes, which are so tasty, despite the charged up healthy factor. In fact, the first batch I had no leftovers. But when you’re testing a recipe to share on a food blog, you generally…
I find breakfast to be a somewhat challenging meal. I often need something super quick and portable to eat for breakfast. On weekdays I need to get out the door, pretty shortly after I wake up to take Aiden to school. My mornings sort of read like this: I wake up at the last possible…
Sorry about the relatively non-discripitve title. I should be better at titling things by now. Actually, considering I started out with Whole Grain, Homemade Apple Sauce, Cinnamon, and Walnut Muffins with Vanilla Crumble, as my title. The short and sweet one I used isn’t so bad after all, huh? Plus, it’s not like the long title really conveyed…
