I enjoy homemade Party Mix. I like the taste but I also have many memories tied to it. Growing up we seemed to only make it around Christmas time but I personally have been known to make it other times in the year, too. I guess I’m living on the edge. There aren’t really as […]
Years ago I tried Monkey Bread and thought it was the greatest treat ever. Then as all things go, people weren’t content with this humble little pull-apart bread and soon created Gorilla Bread. My friend Gina brought Gorilla Bread to one of our friend gatherings and we have all been hooked ever since. Today I […]
My two favorite treats are ice cream and cookies so it’s pretty obvious how much I like this recipe. My most vivid memory of ice cream sandwiches goes back to my high school days. Those of you reading along who went to Headland can verify my story. Back in the day we had three serving lines […]
Today was peach day. I made 10 jars of peach jam and some fruit leather. My jam recipe comes from the insert in the pectin box so it’s nothing exciting to report, but it is tasty. This time I made 5 jars of peach jam and five jars of strawberry peach jam. I’m always […]
Last night I made the offspring some Rice Krispie Treats. I used the new red, white, and blue Rice Krispies. Look for them at Walmart! Olivia told me that she wanted me to make them in a creative shape. Are you kidding me? After a long day of cleaning which I always end up doing all […]
I received a very happy box in the mail today. My friend Nancy and her mom Dorothy sent me a box of goodies today. What a wonderful surprise! Inside was a couple of pie pan additions to my favorite pattern, Currier and Ives by Royal China. Also in the box was a brush and ceramic tray with […]
We got some much needed rain today so my exterior flags had to stay inside for Flag Day today. Since I had some extra time inside I made a patriotic snack in honor of Flag Day. These are a typical Chex cereal puppy chow with the addition of dry cake mix. It gives the chow an […]
We tend to run things in the ground around here. It’s all in fun, of course, but it happens frequently nonetheless. Olivia and I have a running debate over the pronunciation of either and either. Pronounced ee-ther or eye-ther. I am in the ee-ther corner and she chooses the eye-ther corner. We also have a […]
Atlanta area schools were called off today and tomorrow because of the cold weather. We decided that hot chocolate was in order for the day. After the kids woke up to an “early” 1:30 p.m. breakfast, we started our homemade marshmallow project. Overseeing the project was this guy. He was a gift but seemingly so […]
I tried out a new recipe today for the UGA/Tech game and so far these aren’t turning out to be “lucky” brownies. We are only a few minutes into the game and things are looking grim for the Dawgs. I’m trying to keep a positive outlook! I have my lucky Tervis tumbler, too…also not helping […]
