This summer I saw a few different Fool recipes floating around, and all of the claimed that Fool is a traditional English dessert. My Grandma was born and raised in England, my Dad was born in England, and he still has lots of family there. So I was shocked I had never heard of this…
A couple things to take care of before I get to this yummy dip. I drew for the Peeler Giveaway. Random.or came up with #39, Carolyn of All Day I Dream About Food was the lucky winner. Carolyn, I need your address so I can get them in the mail to you! The other big…
What beautiful week we have had here. The weather has been perfect, I could live with this year round. Unfortunately that won’t happen, but a girl can dream I guess. Football starts this weekend! This will sound weird, but I am excited for the Badger game today, and then the Vikings! No plans, and no…
Fresh Salsa Recipe – the best fresh tomato salsa with just a handful of ingredients. So easy to make it will be on repeat with all those tomatoes from the garden!
Here is another bread that I made using the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. I don’t really know what Fougasse means, but it looked neat with the cut outs, and my husband loves red peppers, so I decided to give it a go. Being that I can’t stand bell peppers, I didn’t…
I just realized I did not do a Week in Review last week, that is how crazy things have been! I think they are finally calming down now, and I can get back to blogging! When I started this, I never knew it would turn into this, and miss not doing it so much. But…
A friend of mine let me borrow her Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day book. This book is great! Who doesn’t love fresh baked bread? I mean really, what isn’t to love? It is pretty much perfect. The recipes in this book are really easy. You start with a base recipe. You spend about…
Today I am over at La Casa De Sweets! I was thrilled when Jackie asked me to do a guest post for her. She is a wonderful blogger, with all sorts of delicious treats to share. Not only does she make great food, but she supports great causes. When you go to her site you…

I ended up having to take my son back to the doctor today. He just wasn’t getting any better, after being on the antibiotic for 2 1/2 days. They gave me a stronger antibiotic. She told him in 24 hours he would feel like a new man! I really hope that she is right! I…
** Photos updated as of April 2014 School started last week here. My son went for the first 2 days, and then was home sick. Somehow he managed to get Strep in the first 2 days of school, really? It was a long weekend of trying to get him better. His fever has been impossible…
School started this week! I now have a 1st grader. Unfortunately after 2 days at school, he gets sick. Hopefully this weekend he can get better! Unfortunately his best friend is having his birthday party tomorrow, so he will miss out on that. That is a little hard for a 6 year old to understand. …

I am so excited to be part of Secret Recipe Club this month. I have been waiting for my blog to be old enough to be able to join. I was assigned Paulchen’s Food Blog. Paulchen makes the most amazing looking bread! I must admit I was a little intimidated when I first started looking…
This was officially the last week of summer here. Wednesday marks the first day of school. It went by way too fast, and didn’t get nearly as much accomplished as I would have hoped. We did make it to the pool a few times, went on a couple great trips, and had fun with friends. …

Chocolate and Peanut Butter is obviously a classic combination. Usually you see it in desserts, but why not have it for breakfast? I saw this recipe over at The Kitchenarian for her Muffin Monday series. I knew I had to make them. Muffins are always a hit here, chocolate and peanut butter is always a…
I saw this recipe on That Skinny Chick can Bake awhile ago. I was immediately sold! I had tomatoes and rosemary in my garden, and this was the perfect thing to use them in. Well, I couldn’t wait for my tomatoes – they just aren’t turning red! So I used canned tomatoes, and it awesome!…
Until recently I didn’t think that I liked Blackberries. Not sure how I came to this conclusion, but I have been going off of it for years. Then they were in a fruit salad recently, and I was feeling adventurous and thought what the heck. I live on the edge, don’t I? Well, I liked…
