Fougasse Stuffed with Roasted Red Peppers
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…

Creamy Polenta
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…

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. …

Week in Review 8/13/11
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 Peanut Butter Muffins
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…
Creamy Penne with Sausage
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!…
Blackberry Crumb Cake
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…

I can’t believe this is the last weekend in July. August is on Monday. That means that school starts in less than 3 weeks! I am excited for school to start again, but at the same time I can’t believe summer is almost over! This week my son had Science Camp in the afternoons, so…
Homemade Goldfish Crackers
My son is obsessed with cheese crackers. I mean obsessed. He could probably live on Goldfish, Cheese Nips, Whales….all of them! So when I saw Katrina make Homemade Cheese Nips, I was in awe! I knew I had to do it. But I don’t have the cute pastry cutter she has, so I had to…
