This last minute idea came to me because I am slightly nuts. I made a rectangular pizza in a sheet pan and cut it into squares but there were not enough for everyone to have 2 pieces so I cut 3 squares in half. I wanted to give everyone equal amounts of crust so I [...]

Challenge Dairy sent me some samples of their stick butter and spreadable butter and it was really good! They also sent me some great products form Oxo and some Spice Island cinnamon and nutmeg (I am now in love with nutmeg in my favorite muffin recipe). Unfortunately for me Challenge Dairy is not on the [...]

For any Musselman’s Natural Apple Sauce purchased in January 2010, the company will donate ten cents to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. We are big fans of Musselman’s applesauce here and its great to know they are giving to help fight cancer. So stock up on some applesauce before the end of the month!  Musselman’s [...]

WIN SOME THING FROM MUSSELMAN’S: Musselman’s told me that they have a special treat to send my family for Christmas and one for us to give away! Not sure exactly what it will be but if you’re family likes applesauce just let me know in a comment and you could be the lucky winner! Contest [...]

I did a post about homemade marshmallows already but I just tried a very different recipe yesterday and it was easy and I think I like it much better! Here is my old post using Tyler Florence’s recipe and my new recipe from Alton Brown. The big difference is that Tyler’s uses egg whites and [...]

This picture doesn’t even show 1/2 the mess, the blender was FULL to the brim with bright green spinach, frozen bananas, rice milk [...]

We have been busy enjoying the holidays and so I haven’t been blogging much. I wanted to share these cookies the boys and I have been making since its still snowman time and these aren’t just for the holidays. We made them for Ethan’s kindergarten class and on Christmas eve and I plan to make [...]

The chickens are the only ones who help me eat the tomatoes this summer but they are so good this year that I’m not complaining about having to eat so many! In case some of you also have a big supply right now I thought I’d share my favorite use for them currently: TABOULE! Its [...]

I grew some nice big zucchini this summer but I’m not a huge fan of it cooked so I have eaten it raw with ranch, stir fried in my favorite recipe (must blog about that one soon) and then I threw out some I cooked on its own because it tasted gross. I am now [...]

I found this GREAT and easy Jello idea and I HAD to try it and pass it on so that every Jello loving family I know can enjoy it too! Click over to the Huber Hof Academy blog for full directions but basically you make Jello normally except (after you mix your boiling water in) [...]
