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. He forgot there was a possibility later in the week and ended up trying it.…

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 you didn’t know, the Chinese five-spice blend is cinnamon, star anise, white pepper, cloves, and…

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, I am an Intervention Specialist which is a fancy title for special education teacher. Our…

This is our family’s favorite ice cream that my in-laws make. They only make it for special occasions.

The other night, the Wee One handed me a box and asked me what was in it. As I looked through it, I found blank cards and recipe cards. The treasure was two recipe cards written by my grandma. She died Christmas Eve of ’08, so it was nice to see her handwriting again. My…

Yum! And healthy are 2 words to describe this smoothie. Since I would make the boys homemade “Shamrock” shakes, I made myself one of these instead. This is another easy recipe to put together. This recipe makes four servings. I put the other three servings in the freezer to enjoy them later. (They are already portioned…

Last week, I took the boys to Mcdonald’s so they could try the Shamrock shake. Both of them loved it! This week I decided to make my own version. Ice cream was on sale for a pint. Can’t beat a dollar for a pint! It’s so simple to make. Just put the ingredients in the…
