DH must be thinking I’m schizophrenic. I go through spurts where I want to save anything and everything that can be recycled and used again. Then a week later or so, I go through spurts where I’m sick of all the trash in my house and I toss it all. Since DH takes out the […]

Another Yummy Treat
These yummy truffles comes from a blog by Bakerella – check out the site. She has so many creative and fun ideas. I need to stop browsing because I will never lose weight if I keep on like this! I used Nutter Butters instead of Oreos, but I’m betting Oreos would be awesome as […]
Yummy!
These are the icecream sandwiches I mentioned in my last post. I got the recipe from Martha Stewart online. I used mint chip icecream instead of strawberry (since I hate strawberry icecream). They are really good except that the cookies are a little hard when they are frozen. But that may be because I cut […]
Spicy tomato mac n’ cheese
I have quite a few boxes of Velveeta mac n’ cheese in the house right now because the store had them on sale for .69 and my DD loves it. It makes too much for just her, so I end up eating it too (which is probably not the healthiest lunch I could be having). […]
Exhaustion
“If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?” ~Milton Berle Today has been a rough day. With these two little darlings, it is impossible to give them the attention they both need. I’m attending to one or the other all day long, and I still feel like I failed miserably in paying […]
Anniversary Cake
This is a cake that I made for our anniversary a couple weeks ago. It was sooo good (and soooo fattening, thus it is only for special occasions)! I got the recipe off of Jenny Flake’s blog Picky Palete but she got it from a Southern Living cookbook. The only thing that would make this […]
A moment of peace
I have a little trick I use whevever DH goes out of town – while it isn’t always so great for the budget, it saves my sanity for just an hour or so. That trick is called “Target.” You’ll usually find me wandering the aisles at least once every day while DH is gone. What […]
Chicken Enchilada Soup
This is a soup recipe I pulled off of Jenny Flake’s blog (http://www.pickypalate.blogspot.com/). She used to be in my ward until we split a few months ago. She posts a bunch of yummy recipes, including this one which I’m sharing because I love it and it is an excellent way to use up some cans […]
Banana Bread
This is a banana bread recipe I’ve adapted from “Deceptively Delicious” by Jessica Seinfeld. Instead of using cauliflower puree, I’ve substituted canned pumpkin to give it a Vitamin A boost. DH says this is the best banana bread he’s had. It is so moist and yummy! Ingredients: Nonstick cooking spray 3/4 c. whole wheat flour […]
I admit it…I’m an amateur.
I am a horrible homemaker. There is no denying it. My husband may protest – in the same way that he would protest if I asked if I was fat – it’s an automatic no for fear of getting sent to the couch for the night. But it is a fact. Here’s why: Most women […]
