A great, busy weekend. Friday evening the youth group had committed to serving dinner for the MonARC banquet. (MonARC: Advocacy. Rights. Community. Serves the developmentally disabled of our county. The DD population is more dense in our area than in most. This is a great service.) But before that could happen, FriDAY had to be […]
Oatmeal [Blueberry] Muffins
I was searching for flourless muffin recipes and stumbled upon an Oatmeal blueberry muffin recipe. I tweaked it to suit my tastes and the results are perfectly delicious, quite satisfying, and very healthy. I have experimented with a few different add-ins, so feel free to remove blueberries entirely or replace with chocolate chips, strawberries, nuts, […]
Oatmeal Butterscotch Cookies
Aldi has just gotten their supply of seasonal baking items, and when I spotted the butterscotch chips, I knew a batch of oatmeal butterscotch cookies were necessary. I figured I could use another one of my oatmeal cookie recipes and just throw in the chips, but I decided to find an “official” obc recipe. When […]
Mocha Cookies
I set out to bake my second batch of weekly church bake sale cookies and wanted something new. Something different. I had already made Oatmeal Butterscotch Chip cookies so I wanted a chipless cookie. I opened up my trusty Betty Crocker Cookbook and decided to try the Mocha Cookie recipe. I had all of the […]
The One with the Scrubbing Bubbles
As previously mentioned, I love fall. It’s my favorite season and my favorite form of weather. I’m not much of a summer gal. I prefer “warm” to “hot.” I love bundling up. And snuggling in bed under layers and layers of blankets. But. I also like having the option to wear something other than long […]
The One with the Sleep Walking
My husband was kind enough to force me to sleep in this morning. He was waking up at 5:45 for breakfast with Ben. I really didn’t want to wake up then. He told me to just sleep. And not to be mad at myself for being “lazy” when I woke up after 7. “Ok,” I […]
The One with Pumpkins
This is getting a little ridiculous. I have had to start keeping a list of topics I want to write about because it’s taking me forever to find the time to sit down and spit it out. So many great things. Lots of rants. New stories. I’m not sure where to begin. Ok. I’ve decided […]
Dutch Apple Pie with Oatmeal Streusal
Oh. my. word. This streusal topped apple pie is aaaamazing. Everyone loved this version of a classic. The crunchy cinnamon topping is a perfect addition to the tart crisp sugared granny smiths piled beneath. And bonus…you don’t have to use 2 pie crusts! :) Roll out the Never Fail Pie Crust. Place in pie pan […]
“Baked” Potato Soup
I found this potato soup recipe I had copied out of Southern Living’s Slow Cooker Cookbook. It looked easy enough and would require little preparation right before the meal. I set the crockpot to high for 4 hours the night before. Refrigerated the whole insert full of soup overnight. Set back to high on Sunday […]
The One with the Pink
So by now you probably know about my online AVON store. And how I’m an Independent Sales Rep. I also happen to be a big fan of AVON merchandise. Have been since I was a little girl. Before makeup was at all important to me. There are some fabulous deals all over AVON. And many […]
