I have to start today by bragging about my daughter. It seems like she can never find enough ways to amaze me. This weekend is her Nutcracker debut. She has spent the last two evenings at hours-long dress rehearsals, and just can’t seem to get enough! Despite the late hours […]

Candy Season Has Begun!
As I was surveying my sprinkle collection the other day, my eye caught a small package of sucker sticks. I was excited! I didn’t realize I had any of those left, and the wheels started turning. It wasn’t long before I pulled out my sucker molds, fitted them with sticks, […]
Taking Care of a Curry Craving
I’ve been craving those Indian flavor again- ever since Thanksgiving. I had it in my mind to try a turkey curry of sorts with some leftovers, but never got around to it. Then yesterday morning I was peering in the fridge, looking for something to nosh on when I saw […]
Really Good Pecan Pie
I realize that just seeing the words pecan pie may be causing you to shudder. To think back to the past several days and the holiday feasting that ensued. But stick with me, this pie is totally worth it. I love pecan pie. We never had it growing up. I […]
Spinach Dip Today!
So where did that weekend go? Gosh, it’s been a few days since I’ve blogged…my apologies to those of you checking in, waiting on baited breath for my next post. But you know, it is nice to take a break from time to time. I didn’t really want to blog […]
Wonderful, Wonderful
Thanksgiving was great! Everything turned out great, and we really had a great time. I think Abigail summed it up best when I tucked her in at the late hour of 10:30. Tears filled her eyes and she said she didn’t want Thanksgiving to end. 🙂And would you believe there […]
Happy Thanksgiving!
I have lots to attend to this morning, so I’m afraid that I don’t have much to post about this morning. I could go on about how two days out from Thanksgiving I’ve changed my mind on one of my pies and I’ve decided to create a new one. Or […]
I’m Going To Be Picked On For This…
😉 Last year at Thanksgiving, my Dad walked into the kitchen and found my stack of serving dishes with post-it notes in them. There was no end to the ribbing for that one. I had wanted to make sure I had enough serving dishes, and I also didn’t want to […]
A Snack During A Busy Week
It’s going to be a busy week ahead! I hope I’ll have the time to do a few postings,but I’ll apologize in advance if I miss a day or two. In addition to being busy preparing for company, it’s mostly a week of eating repeats, and not very exciting ones […]
Nailing Down The Turkey Dinner
Well, I bought my turkey yesterday! It’s just over 22 pounds…think that will be enough for 12 people? I couldn’t resist. Andy’s employer sent us a gift check for a turkey, so I used that and ended up paying a whole $2.00 out of pocket for the bird- that’s not […]
You CAN make them yourself!
Yesterday was a breakfast-for-dinner sort of day, but I wanted to try something different. We kind of rotate our breakfast options through pancakes, waffles, french toast, and eggs, and usually we do breakfast once a week. First of all, breakfast is very easy on the budget, so I appreciate that. […]
Brownie Attack!
Sometimes, you just want a brownie. I have found myself all too-often in the midst of a brownie craving, and rather than whip a batch together, I grab a box and make that instead. And I’m always disappointed. Every single time. Yet I still grab that box every once in […]
