Dressed Up Cake Ball Arrangement
I'm kind of a fan of this fad called a cake balls. Now they make all kinds of machines attachments to help you get the perfect round ball but I'm still a purist and just follow the old youtube videos from 2008 when I first discovered these tasty life-of-the-party morsels. My daughter started to make them in high school for [...]
Blend Yer Leftovers!
Blend Yer Leftovers!! Leftover roasted chicken and veggies? Waste not want not! I put them in a blender with water, chicken broth powder and a bit of olive oil (because I swear olive oil is a cure along with garlic). It made a creamy smooth soup that I shared with friends as it made soooo much and was [...]
Healthy Junk Food
Healthy Junk Food So every now and then I buy fruit cups. Either chopped fruit or applesauce.

Personally I like it savory with spices on it like “Spike” or other pre-mixed poultry [...]

Specifically an exfoliant for me and an acne treatment for Paris. She recommended baking soda for me and honey for Paris. I just added a few drops of water to [...]
I’m Nuts Nuts Nuts
I’M NUTS NUTS NUTS!! Okay, nuts and seeds to be accurate. I like to have nuts around to snack on, particularly walnuts. They have a meaty cheesy sensation and take some time and work to get open which keeps me from going overboard. I keep a bowl of them on my kitchen counter as I find myself trolling [...]
