I get the keys to our new house on Wednesday!!!!!! At 4:00pm central time, I get my new place!!! I cannot wait! I was supposed to get the keys next Monday- and it has been almost painful waiting- but things have come up and we get to move in sooner! […]

This turned out pretty good. I took two recipes that I found and combined them to create my own version. Quite good, if I say so myself. All the blueberry recipes called for straining the blueberry mixture- and I did not do this. I’m sure the results would have been […]

Yup. Sorry, I think it has to be that way. On Sunday we are tentatively planning a picninc at the hot air balloon rally, and I am thinking I’ll make some Greek chicken salad and the accompaniements. I found the recipe in RR’s 30 Minute Meals 2, so at least […]

I did end up making the blueberry pudding cake below. Oh, it was soooo good. It will definitely get a re-play at my house. I think next time I may double the recipe and make it for company. It was so easy, and so good. The only thing I didn’t […]

Never in a million years would I have thought to do this, but- today, on the advice of several online friends, I added vinegar to my laundry. I used it in place of fabric softener. And you know what? It worked great! And my laundry doesn’t smell like a pickle! […]

I just have to share this. It sounds so good- and there’s blueberries everywhere right now. I really want to make it, I can just see the scoop of cake on my plate with a large dollop of freshly whipped cream. Oh, yum. I may make myself a deal that […]

It is a happy day on the internet for me. Finally the CLBB is back up and running. I had a bit of a time getting to log in again, but I had some wonderful help, and the world is back to normal. It’s funny. Even though I knew the […]

Ah, I actually accomplished something housewise today. So I am sorry to say that I did not jam today. However, I did manage to get my bathroom torn apart and painted. It actually looks really nice. Tonight after the kids go to bed I will also be painting the hallway. […]

Well, I’ve been a busy little beaver! Making the blueberry lime jam the other day really got me going! I always forget how much I love to make jam. I know, I know, we have a move coming up and I should be working on getting my house clean. But […]

Well, the garden has started to run over. Mom shared with me the first bunch of “bread zucchini” as we call it. One zucchini made four loaves of zucchini bread. I popped two into the freezer- but I am happily munching away at the other two. I still use my […]

So despite the fact that I should be concentrating on purging my house of trash and start getting a packing order planned, I just had to can something. I saw an ad in our local paper that pickling cucumbers were available- and that got me excited about making my Kosher […]

Not a good morning!!! The Cooking Light Bulletin Boards that I frequent every day are malfunctioning!!! This is a travesty! Everytime I try to check in, I get javascript. How terrible. It has been like that since about 8:00 last night- I hope they fix it soon! This work is […]
