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…
My husband has been working late quite a bit recently. He is in the construction field, fire alarms to be specific; and as the weather warms up his company always gets a serious pop of busyness. As with any type of constructions, fire alarm is definitely the type of work where you “get while the…
So. As you can see from today’s post, I’m still really digging my mini pans. Ok. Fine. Totally obsessed with my mini pans. I’ve gotta admit I’m totally smitten with small batch baking. Its’s great. You can have your cake (or coffee cake!), eat it, and not gain an extra 10 pounds. Because, let’s face it….
You guys! I am getting really excited for Easter this weekend. It’s one of my favorite holidays. Obviously, being Christian it has deep personal significance for me. Then, on top of that I also love getting together with family to celebrate and all the fun traditions we have with the kids. Of course, there’s the…
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,…
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…
♫ 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…
Thanksgiving is really all about dinner. I know. Buuut, you still need to eat breakfast. Or at least I do. I actually get suuupper cranky when I don’t eat at reasonably spaced intervals, including the time shortly after getting up in the morning. That’s why I’m a food blogger, actually. It means I get to eat…
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…
A lot of people at the tiny little church my family and I attend happen to live on a farm/ranch/have enough land to plant a respectable sized garden. Apparently we’re in/ getting to the end of harvest season. As a city-type-girl, or at least suburbs-type-girl; I take everyone else’s word for this fact. I know…
I know January technically marks the New Year; but in my mind, it’s actually fall that starts the beginning of our next rotation around the sun. Maybe it’s because school starts in the fall; but my whole life, the fall season has always felt full of potential. It’s the start of something brand new, a chance…
I went on a crazy productive cleaning binge yesterday. I haven’t been keeping up with my housework and chores very well lately. I’ve been pretty busy or under the weather for the last few weeks, and just felt really behind. I’ve kept up with the important stuff of course (i.e. clean bathrooms!) But, I still…
Ok I admit it. I’ve got a scone problem. I don’t think it’s every week that I’ve shared a scone recipe with you lately. But, I admit there have been a lot of em’ lately. I’m on a kick. It’s true. Its just that scones are so nice. They make an absolutely perfect breakfast. I…
