I was searching online for a good chocolate playdough and I wasn’t very happy with any of the recipes (it seems like a lot of sites just copy the same play dough recipes from other sites). So I decided to make my own recipe up yesterday and for my first attempt I am very pleased. [...]
I mentioned this briefly in a previous post but I’ve decided to write some more about my new yogurt maker because I am still excited about it! I bought one for myself and one as a gift and I’m glad I did. Its easier than I thought to make and I get to control what [...]
I LOVE my homemade pizza! I cheat and use store bought dough (either white or whole wheat depending on my mood). I shove it into my rectangular Pampered Chef stoneware pan and then top it with pesto sauce, blobs of low fat ricotta cheese (you could spread it but I like to leave it so [...]
I watched marshmallows being made on the Food Network’s Christmas gift show and I had to try it! It looked pretty easy and it really was. Here is the link to Tyler Florence’s recipe for hot chocolate and homemade marshmallows (I haven’t tried his hot chocolate yet). I made these marshmallows yesterday afternoon and we [...]
I have made this recipe (from Aunt Loretta) a bunch of times using canned pumpkin but we have so many small pumpkins leftover from Halloween that I decided to use them. This isn’t the healthiest recipe but its the best tasting pumpkin bread I have ever had. Here is the recipe: 1 cup veg oil [...]

Okay these are the cutest cupcakes I’ve ever made (way better than my cute pig cupcakes!). Ethan had his Monster Party today and these were a big hit. I am a firm believer that cupcakes are so much better than cake for a kid party because each kid got a one of a kind monster [...]
This is an EASY RECIPE I got from my mom and we both make it a lot at holidays or for company. I make fun shaped bread to go with it but you can find mini loaves in the store. It can be made the day before a party. I’m having a busy day so [...]
We have our own apple tree in our yard and for years I thought the ugly appearance of the apples meant we shouldn’t eat them. We don’t do anything to treat the tree and the skin of the apples looks funky but a few years ago I decided to cut one open and found it [...]
