  • I’ve been sick most of this Christmas season so I have not made ANY Christmas cookies.  Okay, I’ll take it back.  We made peanut butter blossoms and then we ate them. I decided to update my peanut butter blossom recipes using gluten free flour. I noticed that the dough does not stand up as well…

  • Thanksgiving 2017 was totally different than Thanksgiving 2016.  Last year, we were in Disney.  This year we were at home. We started the day by sleeping in.  Both boys slept in which is typical for the Wee One but not the Imaginative One.  He must be going through a growth spurt because he complained about…

  • After the parade, the Wee One went with his grandma, aunt, and cousin.  They had Arby’s for lunch which made the Imaginative One upset. Later on, the Wee One and my niece came over to my house to swim.  I took a few photos of them swimming with the Imaginative One.

  • Every year, our town hosts a Fourth of July parade. Last year, I was too ill to go to the parade.  This year I decided the boys, Hubby, and I should watch it even though we had the chance to walk in the parade. Before the parade begins, there is a fly over.  This year…

  • Microwave Peanut Brittle

    I attempted this recipe twice before I was successful.  It’s a simple yummy recipe which is one of my favorite types of recipes.

  • My Grandma’s Fudge – Christmas Making and Baking 2016

    Have you ever done or bought something but did not know why?  A few weeks ago, I bought some marshmallow creme/fluff because I wanted fudge.  Then I kept looking for a recipe that used marshmallow creme.  I didn’t find any recipes that I would want to make.  

  • Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies – Christmas Making and Baking 2016

    During the Christmas season, I enjoy finding new recipes to try.  So when I saw the recipe for Old Fashioned Sugar Cookies, I knew I needed to try them.

  • Mint Chocolate Chip No Churn Ice Cream

    The Imaginative One loves the color green.  Once he was old enough to chose his own ice cream flavor, he would chose mint chocolate chip ice cream.  For five or so years, he would only eat with mint chocolate chip ice cream.  In recent years, his choice of ice cream flavors is more diverse.

  • I know that tomorrow is Memorial Day.  I was just thinking about what I could make for dinner tomorrow night. Here are some ideas of what you could serve at your barbecue:

  • Cherry Cake with Cherry Buttercream Frosting

    I have another Valentine’s Day recipe.  This one is for dessert.  If you have the ingredients on hand, it’s easy to put this cake together. Warning:  It has a very cherry flavor, especially in the frosting.  If you don’t want that much cherry flavor, don’t use the Kool-Aid in the buttercream frosting.  Instead, use red…
