We had a good week where we definitely cleaned out the fridge! I love that because I hate throwing anything away! It also means I get creative in using up veggies that just aren’t a favorite–maybe there were too many purchased for a specific recipe or something. Anyway, we’re starting out with a freshly emptied…
Gooberfish
The gooberfish came into existence around 2000. Someone had given me a puppy for my graduation and he loved squeak toys. Of course he used them to talk and since he had so much to say and so much chewing to get in he quite frequently chewed through or destroyed the squeakers. After going through…
Comfort Food: Rice Pudding
During the winter my mom was always amazing at coming up with things to bake for long hours in the oven. One of those things was baked rice pudding and it was one of my favorites. However, the star of the rice pudding was milk and I had some difficulty in coming up with a…
Menu Plan Monday, January 13th!
We are experiencing Yo-Yo weather where I live. One day it will be 80 only to plummet the next day down to 36. It drives everyone crazy what with sinus troubles and the issues of needing a whole year’s wardrobe at the ready! You definitely need to check the weather before getting dressed everyday. The…
Forgotten Kisses
I am sure probably the last thing you want to do right now is make more cookies. However, these are just so yummy I had to share them. And besides, they would be just perfect for the next major holiday: Valentine’s Day! I never plan on making Forgotten Kisses, but I always end up doing…
The 12 Days of Christmas Vacation
Growing up I thought the 12 days of Christmas was just a goofy song. My mom probably kept the whole 12 days of Christmas quiet because sometimes there was a little too much excitement at our house! Now I know there actually are 12 days of Christmas. Christmas starts on December 25th and ends January…
Taste Memories: Hot Cocoa
Due to the extreme cold (even in Florida!) gripping the US right now I thought that this post for a warming drink of Hot Cocoa warranted a revisit! Enjoy!
Menu Plan Monday, January 6th!
A new year–a perfect time to renew your commitment to menu planning! We had a good week last week. A week of nothing and a little too much rain. We even took the Princess to see her first Disney movie, “Frozen” due to the too much rain part. However, with all the nothing last week,…
Organize: Your Leftover Containers
Please tell me that I am not the only one who has trouble with keeping my leftover containers in line! It seems like whenever I close the door to their cabinet they have a party in there and start doing their own thing again. It’s so frustrating trying to keep some semblance of order so…
Menu Plan Monday, December 30th!
The last menu plan for the year. Wow–it’s been a crazy year food wise. I am not at all sorry to say good-bye to the old year and look forward to the new year. There is no theme for the Gluten Free Menu Swap over at Celiac Family this week. Instead we’re doing a round-up…
