A Retreat From The Crazy

Tweet These past several days have been rough… My headaches are back in full force, Timmy has bronchitis, and Ben has a stomach bug and was awake and vomiting violently for several hours last night. Miraculously I was blessed with a bit of quiet time this afternoon and, while I have laundry to fold and [...]

Don’t Forget the Avocados

Tweet Are you ready for the big game on Sunday? If you are anything like me, you are probably heading out bright and early on Saturday morning to gather some last minute party foods. I have an idea before you head out, though… Approximately 71.5 million pounds of avocados are expected to be consumed during [...]

Incredibly Easy to Make Rolo Turtles

“This is the best pizza ever!”

Tweet Ben seems to think that the sourdough pizza we made tonight, inspired by my grandfather’s famous recipe, is the best pizza ever. Of course, everyone agrees, but I suppose Ben thinks it’s particularly good partly because he and Josh helped me make it. First, we toasted both sides of sourdough bread slices, covered in [...]

Peach Crisp {A Delicious Summer Treat}

Tweet We simply love peaches. Fresh is best, of course, but we’ll eat them out of a jar, in a cobbler, or even in smoothies. I was jonesin’ for a dish-ful of warm peach crisp yesterday, so I searched for a good recipe. None of my foodie friends seemed to be of much help (I [...]

Chicken ~ It’s What’s For Dinner

Tweet As most of you know, I’m very particular about what I eat these days. On most nights my family holds their breath as they ask what’s for dinner because, quite honestly, most often it’s pretty much up to them {“them” meaning Daddy}. Except for when I have a hankering for something specific. Well, lately [...]
