Happy weekend and here’s hoping that you have great plans and lots of sunshine headed your way. How about a lovely, sunny smoothie for you to start your day. I started with 4 peaches (I left the skin on-you could easily use 2 cups of frozen peaches instead). I added; 1 banana, 1/4 cup plain [...]

I mention this all the time but it doesn’t hurt to tout something great. Kristen over at thefrugalgirl.com is just a peach and came up with this great idea to watch her food waste more carefully by having to report on it.Well, I’ve been doing this for quite some time and I’ll tell you it [...]

I alluded to this recipe awhile ago when I had a cocktail party before we all went out for dinner for the husband’s birthday. I was trying to think of something unique that I could make ahead of time AND something that would be fairly healthy. This isn’t usually chicken wings. Usually those are deepfried [...]

This month; strawberries and cream. [...]

This is a cookies that sounds like it should weigh about a 1000 lbs and make you feel about the same as soon as you are done eating it but somehow that is just not the case. Did you have a Gran that made really good peanut butter cookies or did you dream of [...]

Hello Sunday, glad to see you back. Slightly surprised that you’re here already but happy we all survived that last week. It’s been wild here. For the most part good but wild.
