I enjoy the nutty taste of quinoa and forever ago when I made that Triple Coconut Cake for my hubby’s birthday I had lots of leftover toasted coconut and a little bit of leftover coconut buttercream. So one morning I got a hankering for some coconuts and berries. So I threw together some cooked quinoa,…
I’m sorry that I have been so inconsistent with posting lately. It truly is amazing how life can quickly get in the way. These last few weeks have been full of crazy ups and downs. A week and a half ago I came down with the flu and ended up in the ER with extreme…
With the holidays rapidly approaching I thought I would share some of our family’s favorite Children’s books. Some of these you probably have heard of and maybe some of them you have not. Some are ones we have found in our wanderings at the library or are favorites as parents that we wanted to share…
This is a great substitute for Hawaiian Sweet Bread. I love Hawaiian sweet bread but it’s kinda pricey and I don’t always want to have to go to the store to buy it when the fancy strikes. I love my bread machine and use it often, especially when I want to do a Hawaiian plate…
Back in August, the day after we moved back to California it was my birthday. I have been wanting to make these cupcakes for a while now but I knew I didn’t need to have that many lying around the house. So being back home with family was a great opportunity. Rather than taking the…
Halloween is just 10 days away! My kids finally settled on Tinker Bell and Superman although it took some bribing to get them to stick with those. There was a little bit of cajoling to have Miss T not choose Doc McStuffins which then my little man also wanted to be. I so did not…
These DIY Disney Felt Potato Heads are a fun twist on the classic Potato Head toy. We got to have a little 2-day vacation to Disneyland with my in-laws this week and I thought these would be fun to bring along for the kids on the drive down. It’s only an hour but that doesn’t…
My husband lived in Switzerland for 2 years and always talks about the food he misses from there which is really just the cheese. My husband is a cheese snob. If he had his druthers we would be eating those $25 per pound gourmet cheese every day. Thankfully he settles for something a bit more…
I served this pasta salad with the ribs I posted last week. My hubby digs on this salad and I love how versatile it is. I have made it with crab, tuna, shrimp, and just the plain ol’ pasta salad. They all have been awesome and they all taste slightly different depending on what kind…
We love cooking outside but it is something we have not done much of since we have moved out here to Georgia. There are a lot of bugs! Like outrageous amounts of bugs and when the weather is nice enough to be outside the bugs are out in full force. But this summer has been…
During the winter I did lots of baking, especially muffins so that we would have breakfast on hand to add variety to our morning meals. Man, or child, cannot live on cereal alone. During the summer though the thought of using my oven for extended periods of time just makes me way too hot. So…
I’ve mentioned before how I have lots of fond food memories growing up. This is another one of those meals that I have great memories of. We would make these as a family right at the dinner table. My mom would set up the deep fryer in the middle of our table and we would…
