It’s funny how you can read a book and the word “gingerbread” pops up, which means that you immediately have to whip up a cake because you really haven’t had one in years. That was me a few days ago, but now the pan of gingerbread is half gone because I gave some away to […]
While going through my stash of flour I came across a bag of Bob’s Red Mill whole wheat pastry flour. I remember buying it but for some reason I never used it instead of my King Arthur unbleached flour when I made breads, cookies, muffins, etc. Well now is a great time to use it […]
A little while back I shared the recipe for Ground Meat Casserole and while it is good, I kicked it up a notch and hubby devoured it last night. While I did make the basic recipe, I used my low sodium recipe for the bisquick and I also made a few other changes that really […]

I had mentioned over on Facebook that I had some ideas on saving money during the holiday season, but I noticed that I didn’t get a huge response. I know that many may not spend much or maybe even buy presents throughout the year, but there are other ways to keep spending down while having […]
The Christmas tree in the living room is up but unfortunately it already looks a little disheveled due to a certain little kitty….ugh! But here in the kitchen things are looking festive, A tree sits atop my jelly cupboard while the gingerbread men and snowmen ceramic measuring spoons lay underneath guarding the vintage looking glass […]
