Wit & Wisdom from my Journey through Womanhood
I know that Christmas is past, but I took these pictures specifically to use on my blog and I’m going to use them!
It’s been 3 years now that my husband and I have made these and handed them out at Christmas. The kids are actually able to help now and instead of just trying to help and everything takes 3 times as long. [Read more...]
Here I go talking about bacon again. I can’t help it. I heard another lady rave about how nice it is to cook bacon in the oven. I finally did it. As you will hear in the video I may never fry it again.
Watch the 42 second video at my site.
No Bake Cookies how I love thee!
Let me sit and count the ways.
You satisfy my chocolate cravings.
I shall eat you all my days.
Though you’re here and gone so quickly
You bring such joy to my face.
And one thing I’d rather not voice -
The way you add to my hips space.
Your dark mix of milk and cocoa
Bubbling oh so prettily.
Add to that the oats and PB
You are quite a joy to see.
It matters not if you stay gooey.
I’ll just eat you with a spoon.
Just wait quiet for a minute
Till my kids have left the room.

Yes, I’m a chocoholic and a nut. 
Made these last night at 10:00pm after the munchkins were in bed. I wanted to lick the pan myself!
They will be gone by tomorrow night. But fondly remembered.

I’m trying to be more thrifty/frugal and really watch what I spend the grocery allotment for. Same here as everywhere.
One of the things I’ve been doing is not buying candy. I used to get it from the cheap “scratch and dent” store – not from the regular grocery store. I know there are “Candy Nazi’s” out there, but we eat candy here. Please don’t tell the candy police.
Still I think that I can get ingredients from that same cheap store and make healthier desserts. If there is such a thing as healthy desserts. I’m sure there is because if I’m happy my kids will be healthier – kidding!
Plus, they have cake and brownie mixes for one dollar. One dollar for a whole 13 x 9 pan full. So get baking, Jendi!
You can do the same with a regular chocolate chip cookie recipe.
It’s not gourmet, but it’s good!
P.S. If you want fluffy drop cookies mix your dry ingredients separate. My cookies just disappear fast in this house and my kids don’t care if they are fluffy.
So, do you bake?
Rainy days bring out my urge to bake. Yesterday the urge went crazy.
The kids and I baked…
I’m throwing this next picture in to keep me honest and humble. This was a half hour before the previous picture.
Since the necessary baked goods were in the freezer and the dishes were cleaned up, well half cleaned up…
Just kidding. That picture is totally posed before I rushed around throwing church clothes on everybody, except my husband. He throws his own clothes on.
The casserole has been demolished and it sure was nice to have banana bread for breakfast.
P.S. I got the recipes off the internet because – you know – a lot of my stuff is packed.
