White Whole Wheat Banana bread, a review and a Giveaway!
When offered me the opportunity to try Gold Medal White Whole Wheat flour… My answer was “Oh, Yes Please!” If you read my blog regularly you know that I’ve been experimenting with using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. If you’re new to my blog, I’ve had some successes, like my Whole Wheat Chocolate …
As they grow….Toddlers to Teens.
My children are growing, so fast…too fast. It’s hard to believe how quickly time goes by. Every single moment with them and their Dad, from the tears to the smiles, from diapers to designer shoes… Every moment is a magic moment in my eyes. I simply love them to bits! I remember when they were …

Canning Apple Pie filling
Who’s ready to do some canning? This week I have made canned apple pie filling. Apple pie filling has many uses. Apple pie, obviously. Apple tarts. A topping for pancakes or yogurt. I made turn-overs. They were not my prettiest work, but they were tasty! Apple pie filling is fairly easy to make. …
I remember. 10 years later.
10 years ago on this date, an unimaginable thing happened, a safety shattering things happened. I remember……… I remember the first time I felt unsafe in my home.

How can I make everybody happy and support family harmony? Mini meatloaf. It’s the only why I know how to make sure everyone …
Red Tortilla Soup with Chicken
I love soups…love them…gobble them up. Soups freeze well, they taste better on day two or day three, I love soup. If it’s a Tex-Mex soup….even better. Tex-Mex is one of my true food loves. Maybe it’s because I’m from Texas, maybe it’s just because Tex-Mex is Awesomesauce. If you’re in the northern part of …
Egg Wars…may the best dish win
Do you like baked egg-ey dishes? I sure do! I’m on a self-directed mission to discover the best baked egg-ey dish. When I think of egg-ey dishes, I usually think of frittata, quiche, spinach and baked eggs. What do you think of? Frittata ~VS~ Quiche…. It’s the great egg war! Think of it as egg-ey …
Kabocha squash- an unusual suspect
Yesterday I showed you my lovely squash. Don’t get cheeky, I’m talking about these squash. Can Texans say cheeky and get away with it? Here’s hoping the answer is yes! 😀 I oven roasted the kabocha squash, which I keep mispronouncing as kobayashi… making me think of Mr. Kobayashi, making me think of The Usual …
