  • It’s A Small World Peanut Butter Pie

    This is an old recipe I collected while in Texas. I became friends with a family come to find out one evening that the woman’s (the girl I got the recipe from) husband knew my brother. They met years earlier in Southern California. I can’t remember how the conversation turned to my brother but I…

  • Crock Pot Roast with Gravy and Yorkshire Puddings

    ,

    There is nothing like roast with gravy and Yorkshire pudding. The smell of a roast cooking reminds me of my Grandmother Jepson. My grandparents lived a couple hours away in the once small agricultural town of Clewiston Florida. We would usually make the trek around the Okeechobee Damn and through the fields to Granmother’s house…

  • Grilled Salmon with Bacon, Feta and Tomatoes

    While frozen salmon may be an easier way to keep the vitamin packed morsel on hand I have found the flavor of fresh skin-on salmon out weighs the frozen stuff hands down. Fresh salmon is tender and silky while the frozen kind tends to dry out slightly. Just watch out for bones. Cooking salmon, as…

  • Chocolaty Oatmeal Cake

    This is a recipe passed on by my sister Allison. She and her friends made little bags with the dry ingredients perfect for gifts. Put the dry ingredients in a jar or sealed in a plastic baggie enclosed in a fabric goodie bag. Don’t forget to include the instructions. Chocolaty Oatmeal Cake is almost like…

  • Making Time for the Family: Weekend Togetherness

    For many households the weekend is encumbered with catching up on sleep, yard work, errands, DIY home projects and much needed recreation. As parents we need our time to unwind from a hectic work week. Fitting in time for the family can sometimes be just as hard on the weekend as during the weekdays; especially…

  • Book Review: Elephant and Piggie Series

    I was suckered into joining the Children’s Book of the Month Club last year. What can I say, we love books around here. If there is a major holiday that warrants gifts you can bet the kids are getting a book from us. Doesn’t sound very fun; but, books are one of the few things…

  • Pre-Mealtime Tablecloth Craft

    This idea came from a friend of mine Patty. Every time she had a birthday party the kids were kept busy for a short time decorating a bucket or paper table cloth. Since holiday’s tend to be a bit more hectic it is nice to have a craft to preoccupy them until dinner is ready.…

  • July Website Review: Serious Eats

    I stumbled upon Serious Eats while I was planning our summer vacation. It is always nice to have a list of recommended places to eat. In this case I was searching for popular pizza joints. I found a plethora of food inspiration. ** Serious Eats is more than the typical food blog/restaurant review resource. The…

  • Cherry Breakfast Cake

    ,

    A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to an annual blueberry festival at a local farm. The kids enjoyed plucking ripe blueberries and cherries, munching a few along the way. The highlight of my day was Mason’s dirt streaked face. Evidence he had the time of his life crawling through tunnels made of…

  • Making Time for the Family: Good Morning Hello’s

    The curtain opens on a bed, two people lost in dreamland. All of a sudden three little children come bursting into the room and pounce on the unmoving bumps hidden under the covers. Laughter ensues as the kids are tackled with tickles and kisses and pillows tossed in the air. The scene ends with mom…
