Written for Just Baking on the Well Fed Network One of my favorite amateur food photographers and Recipezaar Chefs, Marg, turned me on to the most wonderful little “gadget” the other day.

Ella Meets Oreo
We spent the entire afternoon outside yesterday enjoying the gorgeous warm weather. All of our neighbors came over to play, including my friend Kathy with her dog Oreo. Ella was so fascinated with Oreo. Every time they would get close to each other she would just squeal and giggle. It was really precious!
Shrimp Scampi
I just thought I would post here some proof that we do eat things other than cakes, cookies and baked goods. Seafood is one of my favorite things to eat. I love Fridays during Lent because we are obligated to not eat meat, which means that seafood is the food of choice. One of…

Wow…has it really been that long since I have posted over here? It isn’t for lack of activity…that’s for sure. What has been going on in our world since my last post? Jacob had his first soccer game of the season this past weekend. He is playing in a league with kids that…

Off Limits
I was so excited yesterday when I stumbled across a recipe for Malt-Fudge brownies over at the Tummy Treasure blog. I needed a dessert to take to our Mom’s Night Out game night and chocolate anything is usually a hit with women. I knew I had a lot of leftover malted milk balls from the Malt…
Happy Bisquick Day – Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe
Celebrate National Bisquick Day with Cheddar Bay Biscuits! Bisquick is one of those controversial ingredients that can cause quite a stir among people who cook. Are you a “real” cook if you use a pre-boxed mix for anything or should everything be from scratch? The same controversy surrounds cans of cream soup (cream of…
Lunch Time Blues
Written forKids Cuisine on the Well Fed Network I often struggle with our weekday lunch. It is the most frustrating part of the day for me because I have a hard time getting creative and making a quick and healthy lunch that my kids will enjoy. I am also very tempted at lunchtime to scrap…
