Pictures from my week
A few pictures from Wednesday evening and Thursday. A soup, that turned out too salty. I hope you have had a great week. I will see you again on Monday.
Baking, outside of my comfort zone
This morning we’re off to A Tuba Christmas in downtown Dallas. Our son is participating this year. Anyhoo, back to my baking issue. I’ve got family members with food allergies. I’m sure I am not alone. On Christmas Eve, we will be having brunch with my Sister-in-Love and her family. Michelle and her family have …
Cake in a Jar
The idea & post for cake in a jar is courtesy of a question on my Facebook page. Making teacher or co-worker gifts that will impress (not to mention survive the trip to school/work) isn’t always easy. Cake~ baked in a canning jar fits the bill perfectly. Here’s what to do….. Cake mix…make your own …
Frugally yours, for the Holidays.
I read a great post on Things I Can’t Say yesterday. I love reading what Shell writes, I like to think that we’d be coffee or wine friends if we lived in the same state. I think that about more than a few people, but I’m way friendly and super social in my imagination. Anyhooo…. …
Happy Halloween!
The great things about Halloween are the fun, the friends and the candy. And…. the Halloween parties are such fun! Muahahahaha! The good things about parties are too numerous to mention. The bad thing about parties is the clean-up. Yeah. Love parties, hate clean-up. Great parties need a day of rest after them. Well, at …
Making a Fun Fall Cake
I’ve got a boxed cake mix, and I’m not afraid to use it. I had this idea, while eating a handful of candy corn, that I should make a cake that resembles a candy corn. Am I the only one who loves candy corn? Seriously, it’s pretty close to addictive. Or, maybe that’s just me. …
For goodness sake, I made a Homemade Foreo!
I made an Oreo like cookie. Honestly. What’s better than a homemade Oreo cookie? An over-sized, soft, chewy Oreo cookie…and a foot rub, but the foot rub is totally optional. 😉 It does not taste exactly like a Oreo, but it’s super good. I decided to make the cookies soft and chewy instead of crisp. …
Where I went…Wednesday
A lot of people post “What I wore, Wednesday” or “What I ate, Wednesday”. I’m going to tell you where I went, via the interwebs over the last week. My bloggy friend Andrea wrote a beautiful tribute post and posted a caramelized onion recipe for friend she recently lost. I made homemade laundry …
Whole Wheat Chocolate Cake
I’ve got all these great recipes for cakes and cookies and breads. All these great tasting recipes made with all-purpose flour. I’ve wanted to convert them, but conversion can be scary. Will it taste the same? Will it taste similar? Will it be good or blah? I’ve had more than a few yucky conversion attempts. …
Shhhh…..Secret cupcakes.
Yesterday, I talked about my love of soup and/or cake when I’m feeling less than wonderful, I was not kidding. I made cupcakes for desert Monday night. Hee Hee. *twitch* *twitch* pardon the sugar high! *twitch* *twitch* Sugar high after a warm, hug in a cup. if having soup and cupcakes is wrong, I don’t …
