I was looking for recipes for a good sandwich bread to make in the bread machine, and came across this recipe on allrecipes. At 4.5 stars and almost 500 reviews, I decided to give it a go! Of course, after reading some of the reviews, I decided to try a honey wheat version instead, since…
A little bit ago, I got on a serious fruit kick. And one day, I went to the grocery store and I swear I bought out their produce section. Which led to a lot of very happy fruit consumption, but it also led to some fruit looking a little sad by the time I got…
This is another one from Real Moms Real Fit. I made these one day as a yummy between-meals snack. You’ll need: Sweet potatoes cooking spray olive oil or olive oil spray cinnamon I also added Kosher salt, because I’m a fan of sweet/salty. I washed and peeled my sweet potatoes first. You don’t need to…
He just came in here… looking scared… holding a pudding cup. He says, “Ever seen… pudding… with bubbles in it???” I said, “That’s tapioca babe. It’s good. Eat it.” He says, “Oh.” kind of quietly… and then sticks his finger in it.
Before my tomato plants died, we got several good ones off of them… so one day, I peeled several of them by blanching them. I also got some basil from our garden… delicious! What could be better? Then I made a flaky pastry pie crust, and filled it with cut-up skinned, de-seeded tomato chunks. And…
Guess what I’ve been doing! For the last few months? Getting certified/licensed to teach preschool in my home. For the last week? Teaching 2 little girls. Very exciting! A long time ago, I was researching ways I could keep teaching (without dealing with state certifications every time we move) while my husband is in the…
I’ve posted a few times about things cooked in pie crusts: Tomato pie, Tomato Pie Again, and Zucchini Quiche. And I promise there will be more. So I figured it was about time to make a pie crust tutorial. I think if my mother-in-law hadn’t shown me how it’s done, I wouldn’t be so good…
There seems to be quite a doughnut trend going on over at Tastespotting, and several people posted their versions of these delicious-looking doughnut muffins. So I decided to make my own version! The texture of these muffins is similar to those delightful cakey doughnuts, dense but airy at the same time, and the tops are…
Here in Mississippi, Summer is still in full force, and light summer meals can’t be beat. I love BLT sandwiches, but for a filling dinner, I decided to make a chicken BLT salad. I wanted to keep things on the light side, so I cooked my chicken without any oil… just sprinkled with ranch dressing…
When our tomato plants were still alive and well (before a week straight of rain killed them with root rot), we got quite a bounty of ripe red tomatoes from them. I decided to make a yummy “wing-it” type pasta sauce with them. So first I cut them up and de-seeded them, but really I…
Another Navy wife here, Sommer, has a great website called Real Moms, Real Fit. She has a lot of healthy recipes, low-cal snack ideas, and fitness tips on her site. I decided to try out her Mexican Chicken recipe. According to Sommer’s site, one serving (of just the chicken/topping, not including tortilla or sour cream)…
So, Dog has been fine here all week (I think today was day 10 that we’ve had him), and he and Zora have really gotten along. Dog doesn’t have any desperate need to be “alpha” or “top dog” so Zora realized he wasn’t a threat (and that he was a cool playmate) pretty quickly. I…
