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 [...]
Sunday started with cimmanin rolls (thats how Ben says it) and we were supposed to have “Monster Shakes” but instead I somehow overblended enough that the blender unscrewed itself and popped off. 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) [...]
I had intentions of doing the last 2 unplugged projects but the kids don’t always like my suggestions and even passed up “want to find rocks and paint them?”. This week is FOOD so there was no way for them to turn down that! The first thing that came to mind was fruit (we’re having [...]
I decided VERY last minute to make the Easter Bunny cupcakes this morning to bring to our playgroup Easter egg hunt. So they were rushed and not as cute as they usually are but the brown chocolate bunnies were CHOCOLATE so it was worth it to me! In real life they looked cuter than when [...]
I love these bunny cupcakes I made previous Easters, they are how I got the idea for my pig cupcake and so I wanted to share my idea for this years bunny cupcakes (even though I won’t make them until Sat night). I bought chocolate, strawberry and plain white marshmallows so this year I can [...]
I really like baking cookies and Ben likes things that are “double” so I often put the dough close together on the sheet so he can have “double cookies”. I made a triple cookie by accident one day and it gave me the idea to make cookies shaped like Mickey Mouse’s head/ears. I made chocolate [...]
