Can you believe it’s Tuesday again already?? This week, Liliana of My Cookbook Addiction chose the French Yogurt Cake with Marmalade Glaze on pages 224-225 for us to try. It was easy! I was shocked. Anything with the word French in it frightens me a bit. The French, you know, those women spend like, a […]
Did you know that tday, March 14, is Official Pie Day? Well, Pi Day, anyway, and us Tarts from the Pie Group “You Want Pies With That” are all posting our creations today in honor of it! This time around our theme was chosen by Elizabeth of Cake or Death, and she chose “Herbs & […]
I rarely, if ever, will eat a pancake if we are out for breakfast. I can’t say why, I just don’t. But here at home, that is, if Jon is here at home, I want to make them. And I love them. It makes no sense…but neither do most of the things about me. I […]
It seems that these Penny Pinching Posts of mine are catching on – last week alone I had over 500 hits just on the Money Saving Baked Chicken Dinner. Because of the economy, saving money everywhere we can is certainly a necessity…and giving up a night out at a restaurant once a week can add […]
Imagine waking up tomorrow to the news that there is a natural disaster headed your way. A hurricane. An earthquake. A tornado. There’s nothing you can do about it…you just have to leave. And then, when the disaster has hit and moved on, you have to go home and pick up the pieces. Your wedding […]
The Wordless part for me is difficult. Seven had his 18 month check up last week. He is 33 inches tall but only just over 24 pounds. Tall and thin. Great vocabulary on the boy…around 100 words now in his repetoire. Too bad one of them is Damn. (But he’s only said it once. Or […]
This week Bridget of The Way the Cookie Crumbles chose Lemon Cup Custard for us to make. Oooooh, I thought. Lemon. Tangy. Yummy. But then I consulted our Headquarters to see what others were saying. Oh no. Eggy. Not lemony. Eggy. Oh no. So I made mine, but […]
As I was perusing the internet at 3 last night (couldn’t sleep, but you’ll be glad I couldn’t!) I stumbled across a great deal at KitchenAid. You’ll need to click the above link, and then click on Outlet Store/then Refurbished Items/then Attachments & Accessories. Here you will find the deal of the century…a 5 qt […]
Remember that post I did a few weeks ago about 52 Books in 52 Weeks? Well, thanks to all of YOU, I have been bombarded with recommendations, and this post is about one of them. The Time Traveler’s Wife, by Audrey Niffenegger I wasn’t sure what I would think about this book. I was looking […]
Last week I posted about how dining at home instead of going out to eat can save lots of money. I had lots of great feedback from all of you, so I thought I would do another post with the savings breakdown. This week, instead of the estimated $61.00 we would have spent dining out […]
Do any of you have a great pasta roller/maker/machine? I do own a KitchenAid, so I originally thought, sure, I’ll get the rollers for it. But they are expensive, I am poor, and maybe there is something else out there that’s just as good or better. For example, I have been seeing the Marcato Atlas […]
