Real Life, Real Recipes, & Real Faith
Hi everyone! Hope 2013 is treating you well. We’re off to a good start, I guess. Kind of procrastinating getting the decorations down. I’m usually more on top of this. Once the 12 days of Christmas is over, I’m packing things up. I did move a step in the right direction today, though. I asked [...]
I’m sure each of us as parents have disappointments in ourselves from time to time. It’s just life…we’re not perfect, we’re human, and we forget. Yesterday morning Peamite Alpha had a dentist appointment where he had a tooth removed. He was so excited and asked if the Tooth Fairy would come for it. I told [...]
This is a quick and delicious treat that you can customize for any event. With Halloween right around the corner, I tinted the white chocolate yellow and tossed in some candy corn and semi-sweet chocolate chips. I think it lasts about 3 or 4 days covered in an airtight container, but really I haven’t gotten [...]
I’m still a big ole kid that likes to draw and color with crayons. So, in order to play put this talent to good use, I decorated the paper table coverings at a recent church pot luck. Most of them are inspired by word art that I’ve seen on the web, well, mostly Pinterest. I [...]
Y’all. It was down to the wire. The cake almost won. I persevered and conquered it AND the clock (well, sort of, I was 15 minutes behind schedule, but it could have been A LOT worse!) I seriously under estimated the time it would take me to decorate these 2 cakes. And for all intents [...]
Hi everyone. I’m actually still here. For quite some time, I’ve been trying to decide what to share with you all. I thought of lots of things…became overwhelmed, and basically disappeared for a little while. Sorry. I’ve been thinking of y’all. Please, come hang out with me again. Lots has happened since we last spoke. [...]
Peanut butter is a staple in this household. We make countless PB&Js or as my son calls them, “Peanut Butter Jelly Times” (because of this popular YouTube video) In an impromptu making of peanut butter cookies, I decided to bring jam to the party. Just make your favorite peanut butter cookie recipe (a good one [...]
I love the Red, White, and Blue proudly displayed, and what better way than in the form of food? We had a fun cupcake decorating party at my church to celebrate the Fourth of July. We made a cute flag out of m&ms and fun star cut out cupcakes that I’ll show you today! To [...]
These potato chips are a hit at my house. In fact, they don’t last long at all! And, since they’re homemade, flavor is customizable! Start off by slicing the potatoes really thin. I use my food processor fitted with the 2mm slicing attachment. These make them thin enough for me, but really, I would like [...]
