Flanky Panky? Yes. I have a love affair with this cut of meat. Especially when it’s grilled to perfection. Mmmm. It’s an all time family fave. It only has two ingredients and you have them at home. Flank. It doesn’t sound like it would be tender, but it is, and it’s an easy grill on the bbq steak that […]
Up, Up and Away! Bubble Stabilizer
It’s finally Spring. The kids want to be out. You WANT the kids to be out. It’s perfect “bubble weather”. This is the best bubble solution recipe I’ve found. If you make it the night before it’s even better. Scoot your kiddies out the door. 1/2 cup liquid dish soap (Dawn or Joy work best, […]
Brownie Points
Ooooh la la. A dainty dessert. Mmmmm. The original recipe for these brownie cookies is from PDX Food Love, but being the dainty little dessert gals we are, we had to change it up to make it more. We really make all the recipes for our blog and take the pictures ourselves. We got together […]
POW! BANG! BAM!
BOOM, BOOM, POW! How do you like me now? We were first introduced to the marshmallow gun in Jackson Hole, Wyoming where we paid $12.00 only to realize, that even anti-crafties could make one. We took it apart, measured the pieces of PVC sprinkler pipe and made twenty, (not a typo), twenty more. My oldest […]
Granol..ahh
I went to my sister’s house for dinner and started to pick at the homemade granola in her cupboard. I picked and picked and picked…. My children and husband picked and picked. Collectively we shamed ourselves with the gluttony of ten families. We would have stuffed more in our pockets as we were leaving but we had pretty […]
Sometimes I Feel Like A Nut…
I promised myself this week that I was going to get back on track with my health. My eating, exercise and life have been, to be honest, COMPLETELY off. On a quest for a healthier treat, I purchased a bag of dried young coconut from Costco. When I looked at the nutritional information on the bag, I […]
Party For Three
Easter is over. Have you tripped over any of the stuffed Easter toys yet?If you have, your problems are officially over! Those stuffed bunnies and beanie animals just need a place to be. Sometimes when I‘m breaking up a box to be recycled I wonder if there’s something else that box could be. I found an old clementine box that […]
Oodles Of Pool Noodles
Pool noodles. I’ve been tripping over one I’ve had a “plan” for since last summer. I’d tuck it somewhere and it would reappear,(usually at night on my stairs, waiting for me like a ninja). Anyway, did you know you could cut a pool noodle as easy a cutting through wheat bread? We cut up several colors of pool noodles […]
DIY Tooth Fairy Box
I have to admit I was surprised that my daughter was so fond of this easy DIY Tooth Fairy Box. Sometimes I forget how simple things can be. Often, we’re the complicators. This easy craft was a pleasant reminder to simplify, because I like simple, it’s so…..simple. However, if you’re one of those “complicators” you can easily whip out some cute fabric and embellishments and […]
April Fools
I had no clue that my daughter’s teacher had prepared her for April Fools day, so when she offered me a brownie, I gladly accepted. Little did I know I would be getting a brown “e”. I thought this was too cute, easy and clever not to share. You still have time to make brown “e’s” for dinner.
