Holiday Recipes!

A friend sent me a great list of holiday cakes, so instead of sharing all if them, here’s the link to the site. Once I got there, I remembered it from when my oldest was really little…it’s great. There’s so much fun stuff! It’s got things for kids, like letters to Santa, activities, and stories. I went ahead and bookmarked it since this post...

I’m Cheap.

We decided to par down our grocery bill lately. This can be difficult for me, since I like to make a wide variety of foods and they’re not usually boring or repetitive. I like the challenge of cooking complexly. So I came up with a menu for the week and thought I’d share, just in case anyone needs some ideas. And if you have...

I asked for the seasoning on the fries (cuz I’ve never done the fries before) and she posted the recipe. It looks so good! This is our dinner tonight. So much healthier than a beef burger and fried fries…not that I have anything against...

WW SF Zucchini Bread

I decided to take some snacks to the beach with us, so I made some healthy banana bread and this one. It’s a whole wheat, sugar free zucchini bread.  It went so fast, it was gone before I knew it! I’m planning on making more today, since we have so many zucchini in the garden.  The recipe makes 2 loaves, so I always freeze...

Chocolate Zucchini Cake

We decided to try our hand at a garden this year. First one ever. There’s quite a few foods that grow well in the area, so we figured we’d better get those first, then expand next year. We planted zucchini, pumpkins, cantaloupe, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. And a couple watermelon plants. The zucchini, pumpkins, and cantaloupe plants are absolutely huge. We’ve began harvesting our...
