Never-ending Change

September 26, 2017

Change is the only constant in the universe, or at least that’s what I think. I certainly say it often enough. 😉 I’m sitting here reflecting on how much has changed just in the past few years, let alone since I began blogging over 10 years ago! I’ve decided I need to write more again.…

Best Toffee Ever!

March 3, 2015

Several years ago I ventured into learning how to make the one thing I really love – toffee. I did a search and one of the first recipes to come up was called “Awesome Homemade Toffee“. I looked at the ingredient list: 1 pound butter 1/2 cup water 2 cups sugar 1 teaspoon salt 16…

Love Really is Spelled T-I-M-E

January 26, 2012

I just sat down at my computer. It’s the first time today and I’d just spent an hour shoveling snow. As I settle in to enjoy a few minutes of “me” time I find my 9 year old son at my side saying, “Mom can we make some of those cookies?” How do they know?…

I’m Home

August 25, 2011

I’m home, and you want to know how I’m certain? And…. That’s how. The ‘Reader’s Digest Condensed Version’ of the past ten weeks is 20+ hours on the mower, 60 quarts of raspberries, 20 quarts of apple preserves (so far). Yup, I’m home alright. *wink*

Christmas Fun

December 1, 2010

I thought it might be fun to make a Christmas cake today. I did a vanilla cake with strawberry filling. You can never go wrong with Holly. ~wink~ I tried something new and for the first time on this one, I used a small paint brush to stroke in the frosting on the leaves for…

New Home – New Happy Meal

November 4, 2010

I can’t resist posting on this. I was just catching up on a million blog posts and news feeds and came across this article about San Francisco taking a stand against McDonald’s Happy Meal. As we now live in the San Francisco area I thought it an appropriate introduction! *giggle, snort* Here’s the skinny: So…

You Know, But Do You REALLY Know?

July 7, 2010

So you know you need to eat healthy. You know that so much of what’s out there is not healthy. You know that you need to take care of your health while you still can – before your body starts cashing in all its receipts of years worth of decisions. I know all these things,…

Spin Doctor

March 9, 2010

This morning I broke in my new fruit juicer attachment for my Kitchenaid. Let me tell you, “Fresh Squeezed” is NOT the same as homemade, fresh squeezed! Nothing compares to the quality, flavor and sweetness of unprocessed, fresh squeezed, orange juice. Nothing. So, what caused me to finally break in my new spinning fruit juicer?…

An Informational Morning

March 8, 2010

So this morning I learned what a trillion dollars looks like, and how a new and unknown element may be the biggest reason for weight gain as well as the inability to lose it. All in all, a good Monday morning!

2009 Gingerbread Fun

December 7, 2009

It’s that time again! This year the kids decided to do a Santa’s Village for our annual gingerbread creation. My daughter requested that we do it when her grandma and grandpa were in town so they could do it with us. Here’s how it turned out: The recipe and other years of gingerbread creations can…
