As you know I was a counselor at our church camp a couple weeks ago. As I know I haven’t told you anything about what happened. It was a good week and I’m sure I’ll get to that – sooner or later.
Our camp actually serves meals that taste good. Really. I just happen to be [...]

What To Do With Leftovers
Quick – We Need Dessert!
While I was making supper my 4 year old daughter told me, “We need to make some dessert because we are out of candy.”
I agreed and whipped up a chocolate pudding pie while she was out of the room.
As she was inhaling the pudding pie later she said, “Mommy, did you make this? It’s delicious!”
That’s [...]
His First Catering Job
This past weekend my husband and I hosted our church’s annual Sweetheart Banquet. We knew would have a small group this year and he decided to cook the food to keep the cost down. I said, “Go for it, honey. I’ll help, but I’m not doing the main part.” He said, “No problem.” He stayed [...]
Fried Dough
My in-laws brought fried dough with them from NY. This area of PA wasn’t familiar with fried dough.
They have lots of stories about making fried dough and leaving dough in the back of a warm car…LOL.
They’ve made it for our church Christmas party for years so I usually get to eat it once a year.
This [...]
God Bless The Inventor of Cold Cereal
Let me just say that if I were required to cook for breakfast my family would be going hungry till lunch.
I know that breakfast is supposed to be the most important meal of the day. It’s just never been very important to me.
My favorite special breakfast is Pillsbury cinnamon rolls. My favorite every day breakfast [...]
Watch Out For Rainy Day Urges
Rainy days bring out my urge to bake. Yesterday the urge went crazy.
The kids and I baked…
Two banana breads.
Two small pumpkin breads [using pumpkin I froze last fall].
Four small pumpkin breads with chocolate chips [but half the chips stuck to the bottom of the pans].
A Chocolate Buttermilk Cake [please excuse my fancy cake plate [...]
Condiment Conundrums
Kailani at An Island Life hosts Aloha Friday every week. “In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing heavy or [...]
Foiled…and Loving It
My sister gave me a roll of aluminum foil for Christmas. She did give me other things as well; not just foil.
The foil was kind of a gag gift, but I love it. Foil and I go together like salt and pepper, bread and butter, hand and glove, shoe and sock, wheel and [...]
When It Buzzes There Is Not Always Smoke
When I was little we would run around the hall when the smoke alarm went off. No, it wasn’t a fire drill. It was a way to get the smoke from the burnt toast or food cleared out of the hall. It was great fun. Unfortunately, my Mom didn’t burn many [...]
Mixing It Up
The other day we made Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Bread. I say “we” because my kids helped mix it up.
Previously I have always been a one bowl mixer. None of this dry ingredients mixed separately stuff. In fact, when we were first married my husband wanted 2 bowls to make chocolate chip cookies; I shot down [...]
