In the last 4 months, we’ve had: ( no lie), no power, frozen pipes, two floods and a broken water heater. Obviously it’s time for another emergency preparedness tip. This ones a cinch to put together and hopefully will NOT be needed anytime soon. This emergency fire starter kit can be kept on hand […]
Sixth Sense Cookie Butter Brownies
These are delicious and very easy to make. We got the recipe from Lauren’s Latest and from the moment I laid my eyes on these babies, it was like I knew they were going to be sinfully delicious. I highly recommend the frosting. Another use for the Trader Joe’s Speculoos Cookie Butter besides eating it […]
The Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookie
Look closely at this picture. Is this cookie literally winking at me? Yep, and it tuns out I am quite smitten as well…Now get inside my belly! This chocolate chip cookie may be the best we have ever come across. We make every recipe before we put it on our blog, so obviously we MUST […]
Memory Plates
Wish we could say we thought this up, but it’s floating around the internet from school and crafty websites, to personal family blogs. LOVE it though. Did you know your child’s artwork can become permanent on a plain glass plate? (We even bought ours from the dollar store, to see if this DIY worked […]
Quinoa Kick
We were salivating by the time this salad was finished. Not only is this quinoa salad gorgeous to look at, it smells heavenly. The dressing is easy to make and has some sass and kick. Quinoa is so versatile. You can make any flavor or theme from Southwestern to Chinese. You can add nearly […]
Emergency Heater
I’m kind of a worrier. We’ve mentioned before that at the first “real” sign of Winter the nester in me starts up and I’m preparing for a calamity. In November I filled 8 big containers with water and put them in the garage in a nesting frenzy. In January our pipe gave out….not just […]
Grab And Go Overnight Oats
Mornings aren’t my best time of day. I know some of you rise at the crack of dawn, work out, read a bit of the paper, do a load of laundry, and then whip up a healthy breakfast. Not so over here. I’m RUNNING out the door with my arms and head full…every day. Even […]
Party Graffiti
Wrap more than just presents this year… Wrap your kitchen or dining room table with paper! We just had a family get together and EVERYONE, young and “old” loved to add their artistic flair to the paper tablecloth. It was a fun way for the kiddies to keep busy as we waited for food and […]
Ore oh’s
Looking for a quick and easy Christmas treat? These yummy dipped Oreos are a family favorite and an easy neighborhood gift. They look like they took all day to make and are ready in minutes. (I love to LOOK like I work harder than I do). These little gems are DELICIOUS and beautiful. No one […]
Save Your “Dough” Artisan Bread
It’s cold. It’s winter. I want bread. Hot homemade bread. There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to bake and wear slippers and drink cocoa. Ideally, someone would bring bread to my door around dinner time. ( A little soup wouldn’t hurt either ). HOWEVER, reality is cruel. I wanted to […]
