In August 2010, I posted a recipe for an All-Star Muffin Mix. With this cold weather, I’ve been baking more than usual. Last night I decided to make a batch of it. Then I asked the Imaginative One what he thought I should use as add-ins. He suggested chocolate chips. Once they were baked, the…

My family loves soft pretzels. In fact, when we go to the mall, we must stop and get the pretzel sticks. My mom used to do that when I was a kid, and now I do that with my two. If you don’t watch the Imaginative One, he will eat almost all of the pretzels.…

The boys are in Cub Scouts. We had their annual Halloween party last Thursday. Someone made this boo mix for some of the snacks being served. Oh, my goodness, I could not stop eating it. I even took one of the last two cups of it and ate some on the way home and the…

I’m so proud of myself. Today we were given a chance to go apple picking at one of our fellow church member’s houses. We could take as much as we wanted, which is totally cool. The Imaginative One is a fussy eater but loves his apples and applesauce. So I jumped at the chance. We…

Last weekend, I was perusing Pinterest looking for Mason Jar salad recipes. On one of the sites, I saw a suggestion that you could do the same sort of thing with fruit minus the dressing. I was intrigued, so I decided to try it. I put those fruit salads together on Saturday afternoon, and they were still as…
