Ingredients

  • Chocolate Chip Zucchini Cake

    The Imaginative One hates zucchini so much that when I asked him to pick one up at the local farmer’s market, he refused to touch it.  He also refused to taste this cake because he felt I put zucchini in it.… Continue reading

  • Homemade Pumpkin Butter

    We love eating different jams, jellies, and fruit butter around here.  It’s usually just Hubby and me that do that.  Sometimes the Wee One will also try a new flavor of jelly.  The Imaginative One loves only grape jelly, and… Continue reading

  • Individual Five Spice Apple Crisp

    Last November, my foodie pen pal introduced me to Chinese five spice and suggested I use it in some of my fall time recipes instead of pumpkin pie spice blend. The five spice really does take it up a notch. If… Continue reading

  • 6 Easy Breakfast Foods

    In January, I made a resolution to eat breakfast daily. I’ve been faithful toward that resolution except for one time. That one time was a killer on my body. My blood sugar was not stable, so the likelihood of me… Continue reading

    I’ve been promising the Imaginative One homemade cookies all week.  However with the stress of not knowing exactly what my assignment is for the upcoming school year, I’ve been nursing a headache off and on all week. Let me explain,… Continue reading
