I never have good snack ideas for kids. If I can get three reasonably healthy meals for six people on the table every day, I feel pretty good about myself. So when hungry kids show up around 3pm, demanding food and proclaiming they’re starrrrving and might possibly die, I’m always caught off guard. But they’re all […]
Make a Basil Margarita for Spring
Last weekend, I gathered with a group of other bloggers to make and drink cocktails (#workishard). Barb Keibel of Creative Culinary shared her cocktail making expertise (she posts a new drink on her blog every Friday — definitely check it out for new cocktail ideas!) and we all made variations of margaritas. It was amazing — […]
Sweet Peach Lemonade Makes a Tasty Summer Treat
Once upon a time, I lived in a faraway land (called “California”) where I had three lemon trees. One was the size of an oak, and my husband would occasionally put on his bike helmet, go out back, and hit the lemons off with a broom so they wouldn’t fall on the heads of our visiting […]
Delicious Irish Cream Bundt Cake Recipe
I love a good bundt. They’re so cool looking. I really want one of those fancy bundt cake pans that look like a castle or a bunch of flowers or something, but for now I must settle for my plain ol’ bundt. Doesn’t matter, though. Plain bundts are just as tasty. And I do believe […]
Delicious Instant Pot Recipes: Chocolate Oatmeal
I held out on buying an Instant Pot for a long time. We have a lot of kitchen appliances. My husband is obsessed with weird ones from the 1960s that he finds at thrift stores (kebob turner, anyone? Space-age salad spinner that comes with its own pedestal? Please? Take that and I’ll throw in the […]
21 Deliciously Tasty, Easy Soup Recipes
It’s soup week at our house. Everyone went back to school this week, after a long (looooong) winter break…and every single club or sport or whatever decided they needed to meet right now since no one’s been doing anything for two weeks. Also, Girl Scout cookie season is fast approaching which means lots of meetings and […]
How to Make Snow Candy
So it’s been snowing here. From what I hear on the news, it’s snowing everywhere — even Florida, maybe? No? I thought I heard that somewhere. But here in Colorado, it most definitely has been. Don’t let these pictures fool you. Our snowy days are one-quarter loads of fun sledding and laughing and hot cocoa […]
Try This Tasty Sparkling Bourbon Cocktail
Today’s bourbon cocktail recipe is brought to you by a guest contributor, the Resident Bartender of this humble house — my husband. He’s a bourbon guy. He can appreciate all the different kinds of bourbon, and can sip it straight, and can actually tell the difference between brands and the way their made and…other bourbon […]
How to Make Herb Salts
Thanks to an unseasonably warm fall, my garden is hanging in there. I’m still getting some tomatoes, and I’m holding out hope that my brussels sprouts will actually have time to mature this year, instead of getting allllmost there and then getting killed off in an early morning frost. And my herbs are definitely still going […]
The Hot Chocolate Bar
Usually, after school, we have a tight schedule. The kids have a snack and get to work on music lessons/homework/practice/whatever else is going on that afternoon. But every once in a while (usually on Fridays), it’s good to be The Fun Mom. The Non-Nagging Mom. The Homework Skipping Hot Chocolate Embellishing Mom. So we recently […]
