Let it be known (not that it was a secret before), I like peanut butter and chocolate together. I have seen so many different versions of peanut butter and chocolate brownies floating around. Some have peanut butter cups, some have just peanut butter, others have peanut butter chips or other candy. Well I had to…
Another week done, and we are in mid September already. How did that happen? I can’t believe we are in full swing with school, football is back, and it is pretty much fall. Only a couple more weeks, and my husband starts the process of our move to Colorado. We have been talking about this…
It is very fall like here this week. We had our first frost advisory last night! Probably not very exciting for those of you who live in warmer places. I am so not ready for winter, but I do like this time of year. It is sunny, the temps are in the 60’s, it is…
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…
I was selected to participate in the Sargento Taste Test. Sargento is cut from 100% natural cheese and is never processed. It contains only natural ingredients and is tested by professional cheese graders to ensure high quality. As part of this experience I was sent a $25 American Express Gift Card to purchase Sargento Natural…
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…
I was so excited when I got home the other day and there were packages on my doorstep, that had my name on them! Usually it is my husbands name on the boxes (he has a slight amazon addiction). But I didn’t order anything, what could it be? Foodbuzz had sent me a box of…
I made this salsa the other day, and it got my husband and I talking. He said this was the first salsa he learned how to make during his summer in Colorado, 12 years ago. I remember that summer after he came back from Colorado us running all over Madison looking for a Smart Chopper…
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…
Awhile ago I was contacted by Frigidaire to see if I wanted to review a product. I was thrilled, of course I wanted to. So they sent me $30 to use at their site to buy what I wanted and review it. First of all, did you know Frigidaire sells more than appliances? They have…
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…
This has been a crazy busy week and weekend! I haven’t even turned on the computer in the last 3 days! The start of this week does not look any better, but hopefully by Wed I will be back to normal. At least that is what I keep telling myself! But there is an end…
If you are looking for me today, I am over with Chef Dennis at A Culinary Journey. Yes, you heard me right….CHEF DENNIS!!!! I know, I was shocked when he asked me too. I mean, really, he is Chef Dennis. A real live chef. And I am on his radar? Wow! Anyway…I made this amazing…
I am so lucky to have all of you wonderful readers! So many fellow bloggers have passed on awards to me, and I have not yet posted about them. Sorry I am so far behind! I really appreciate that so many people read my blog, and like it. I started this on a whim, and…
First let me start by saying I love you guys! All the well wishes for my sick little boy mean so much. Well he is on the mend! This new antibiotic seemed to do the trick. After 24 hours he was like a new kid. Now I just think this full day has him tired. …
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…
