Cupcakes and Commentary

This is a dinner that my husband and I used to make A LOT when we were in college. I think I originally got it from a Rachael Ray magazine, but I can neither find it now, or quite remember the original recipe. It is quick and easy (as in very few ingredients and you [...]

So here’s what we did for ten hours over two nights this weekend… New paint. Finally. I can stop being the woman crawling the pale yellow walls of our house (have you read that short story? I think it was meant to terrify those of us who spend a majority of our time at home). [...]

As the nap time clock ticks away, as I munched the last Pringles, while simultaneously watching an episode of General Hospital, and checking my blogs I realized I have absolutely nothing interesting to blog about! While attending Bible Study this past week we were talking about how there isn’t one of The Pioneer Woman’s recipes [...]

This is a super simple take on a recipe I saw on Giada at Home. One of the most common things I do is see recipes and then make something similar with the items I have. Mainly so I don’t have to run to the store. Ingredients 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (I use [...]

I know. Three posts in one night. However, I have to post when I can. I organize my thoughts into multiple posts, mostly to prevent confusion later.
