A couple of months ago, when I was at the fabric store, I got sucked in by the flannel. I mean, I couldn’t get out of that aisle! There’s so much cute stuff in there. I ended up buying a ton of it to make baby blankets with. I wanted my blankets to be really…
If you like pumpkin desserts, you’ll love this quick and simple pumpkin pecan crumble. It’s sort of like a crustless pumpkin pie with a soft cake-y topping. You CAN spoon some onto your plate and eat it with a fork or spoon (with vanilla ice cream. Mmm), but It’s also great served as a dessert…
So, it doesn’t look terribly different from the living room my apartment in Columbia, SC or our row house in Pensacola, FL BUT I have to show off our new green wall. Whoever decided on the paint colors for this house chose them FOR ME. The green in the living room is perfect, as is…
So, if you don’t feel like going all out with making delicious meat sauce for your spaghetti, meatballs are a little faster and just as yummy. Here’s how I made mine: 1 lb. of lean ground beef 1 egg, beaten minced garlic (however much you like) 1/4 cup Italian breadcrumbs Mix it all together with…
So, since the cherries-and-clementines chocolate fest, I’ve experimented with dipping everything in the house in chocolate, then tasting it. Chocolate covered olives? A no go. But chocolate ritz cracker sandwiches? Quite tasty! They would probably be even better if the sandwiches were dunked in chocolate, so there’s chocolate EVERYwhere. The buttery-salty flavor and airy texture…
The days are getting longer, and your SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) or winter blues should be lifting now. But you can lift your spirits even faster with a few simple jobs around the house. Clean your windows to let the sun shine in unobstructed. When the man and I cleaned all of our windows, we…
Cabbage is really overlooked as a vegetable. I know I hardly think of it when I’m thinking of a side-item. Usually I think of green beans, broccoli, spinach, asparagus, or something like that. But cabbage is delicious and full of cancer-preventing stuff, and really low in calories (while being full of vitamin C, vitamin A,…
Here’s a sweet pattern that might help you with Valentine’s gifts this year. A few years ago, when I was a resident assistant at Winthrop University, I made a pin for every one of my (about 40) residents. It took a while, but I think it was worth it, especially when I saw some of…
Chances are, you know a young girl. And chances are, at some point, you’ll want to buy or make her a gift. Well, one girl I know is my adorable niece, Dorsey. She’s in first grade, and is reading like CRAZY. Seriously, I showed her my (handwritten, scribbled, partially crossed-out and edited) rendition of a…
If you stock your pantry and fridge like I do, you probably have some shredded cheese in the fridge or freezer, salsa, a can of olives, and a partially full container of sour cream. I think most people (not usually me) also have ground beef around, in the freezer or fridge, and lettuce is pretty…
Over the holidays, yayanana gave me her old bread machine, so I decided to try it out with a loaf of chocolate bread. It’s not a desserty brownie type thing. It’s more like a normal bread-texture with a cocoa flavor, not too sweet. It’s great warmed up, with a schmear of butter on it. Next…
Sometimes you don’t feel like cooking up a storm, but you still want something delicious for dinner. Enter: the quesadilla. Simple, quick, delicious, and filling. All you need are flour tortillas (which last almost forever in the fridge, so you should pretty much always have them), your favorite kind of cheese – shredded (which can…
