Are you going to a summer get together? Why not take some puppy chow to share? Everyone in my family likes it – including the puppy. Seriously, it’s quick and fast with no oven required. It always gets eaten. It has chocolate – what else do you need?

Making Red Sauce
This is documentation of my first time making red sauce from scratch. I’ve always wanted to try, but needed a recipe that I thought sounded good. Then Jen at My Kitchen Addiction started her Kitchen Bootcamp and the idea for May was to make a sauce. Just the incentive I needed. Warning: I’m not a [...]
What To Do With Leftovers
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 [...]
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? [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 tire, [...]
