Italian Dressing
This week will be full of fun. My husband and I are spending our 11th anniversary….(birds tweeting, and tweeting) We don’t know where!! We have decided to wait and see where the sale fares for the week may take us. A last minute spontaneous little adventure. We’ve talked about spending the weekend skiing somewhere, going [...]
Funky Named Food Week: Cin-a-Butt Cake
My little boy is in early elementary school. (Every person with a boy my little boys age please give a sigh of sympathy) Honestly they are wonderful. Full of energy! This year has been a whirlwind with him. A few visits to the principal’s office, messes and mini Lego or K’nex construction projects littering the [...]
Funky Named Food Week: Monkey Balls
No, we do NOT call them these in front of the kids. We call it “monkey bread” to them. But they don’t really resemble bread, it kind of resembles… Just use your imagination. Or not. Hmmm… This bread tops our Sunday favorites list and is always asked for. You’re supposed to bake it in a [...]
Funky Named Food Week: Fart Cookies
I need a little humor after the weekend. When others warned me about how hard it would be to go through a site overhaul, they weren’t kidding. This week is the start of our “funky” and probably inappropriately named food week. You’re going to love it. Mostly because the recipe names sound funny but taste [...]

(Have you seen the ingredient list in some of the regular cake mixes?)* However, I recognize that some just don’t have the time in your day to cook, and some just don’t like cooking. THAT’S OKAY! But [...]
Spinach Chicken Cheese Scramble
I want to throw my shoe at the radio everytime I hear a weight loss commercial that has someone loosing nine pounds in a week. Since the baby came out eight months ago I’ve lost a total of nine pounds. With only like 15+ to go. No biggie. Not for lack of trying. I squeeze [...]

Here are some of my favorites from our site: Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cake Chocolate Dipped Strawberries (Including Vegan) Chocolate Strawberry Trifle Pink [...]
Operation Organization Friday: Getting Started
If you’ve ever come into my house, it looks nice. Clean, but lived in. Toys scattered around, book bags on the floor. Shoes, etc. It’s not my “dream” house — I don’t even know what that looks like! but it’s sufficient for our family. My husband and I have spent the last five years gutting [...]
Chocolate Strawberry Trifle
Valentine’s Day is now less than a week away. Do you know what you will be getting your Valentine? Growing up, I didn’t really like Valentine’s Day. It wasn’t a big deal, and even today I don’t really celebrate it with my husband. Our anniversary is a week and a half before Valentine’s Day and [...]
