I know… I am a horrible kid/family blogger. I am sorry I haven’t been keeping this part of the blog updated. Truth be told, sickness is still going around in our house. Jacob, knock on wood, is healthy but has to visit a specialist on Friday about a possible hernia he may have, which…

Rosemary Clover Rolls
The first time I ever made clover rolls it was a kitchen disaster. To this day I have no idea what went wrong. The rolls that I had such high hopes for were hard as a rock. My husband and I had a fun time kicking them around the kitchen. I tried to give…
A Taste of Yellow
Over the weekend I heard about a food blogging event put on by Barb of Winos and Foodies that will show our support for LIVESTRONG Day. LIVESTRONG Day is the Lance Armstrong Foundation’s (LAF) grassroots advocacy initiative to unify people affected by cancer and to raise awareness about cancer survivorship issues on a national…
Simply Salmon
I know a lot of people who claim to not like fish. They often say it is because of the “fishy” flavor that fish has. A lot of people I know who do like fish don’t like to make it at home because they think that the recipe has to be elaborate or the…
The Bundt Cake Movement
Bundt cakes always get a bad rap for being boring. When I think of bundt cakes, I think of little old ladies and their church pot luck suppers. Bundt cakes seem to be all over the place at those events. People seem to like bundt cakes, but they rarely get the ooohhh’s and ahhhhh’s they…
Ooooey Gooey Monkey Bread
I have a friend who does not like for her kids to get messy. Her kids don’t know about condiments…dipping things in ranch dressing, ketchup, barbecue sauce, etc is something they have yet to experience. Jelly on their sandwiches? Forget about it… too messy. Pancakes and waffles simply get butter. There is no such…
Sick of Being Sick
Once again, our house is full of sick people. Every single one of us has been sick for the past couple of weeks including my normally invincible husband. With this miserable "spring" weather and the wheezing, coughing, sniffling, hacking going on around here we have not been much fun. A few things happening:…
Strawberry Cheesecake Trifle
I love Trifles. They are one of my favorite desserts to make because they are always delicious and they always make a beautiful presentation. The problem with trifles is that they are almost too pretty. When it comes time to serve them, the very thought of scooping into the big trifle bowl to tear…
Don’t Mess With Texas
Texans are proud people. If you want proof, pass over the border in to Texas, stop at the nearest visitors center and you will be greeted with friendly folks eager to pass out their giant “Don’t Mess With Texas” bumper stickers. You will see big Chevy trucks with the “Lone Star State” emblem on…
Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult – Book Review
A review of the book Nineteen Minutes by Jodi Picoult and a plea for a chocolate cake recipe. I usually save this type of posting for my family blog, Dishing it up Family Style, but there is a tiny bit of food related stuff at the end and I am hoping that my fellow recipe…
