Once again, the Betty Crocker Cookbook has passed with flying colors. I have made cut out sugar cookies many times but never an unfrosted round simple sugar cookie such as this. I love this recipe! Quite fast and easy to throw together–even with the addition of oil and powdered sugar (two additions I don’t normally […]
The One that’s Definitely Not Me
For months I have observed the blog carnival over at MckMama’s blog.I have decided I have built up enough guts to join in.And all 10 of my readers will have the privilege of experiencing the joy of brutal honesty.I must warn you, however.This entry is not for the faint at heart.If you would like to […]
The One with the Deals
VBS ended on a high note.I was delighted and a bit surprised to discover how easily I fit into the “Bible teacher” mold.It required enthusiasm. Not sure where I mustered it, but it was good stuff.It required a full comprehension of the Bible stories. Check.Thanks to years of Sunday School.VBS.Christian school.SAU religion courses. I’m pretty […]
Crockpot Corn on the Cob
This is by far the simplest meal you could ever think of preparing. And not only that but cleanup involves…ummmm…throwing away the tin foil and putting your crockpot away. How awesome is that?! I had a thought the other day as I watched the weather forecast for the week. The temperatures were skyrocketing and taking […]
The One with the Turtles
Our Crocodile Dock VBS is in full swing.We’ve had solid crowds of children filling the church and having the time of their lives.Kevin and I were asked to teach the Bible lesson at “Bible Bayou” each day.There are 4 rotations of kids meaning we teach the 20 minute lesson 4 times.I was excited to have […]
The One with the Personality
I took it again. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator.Freshman year at SAU all of us spineless Core 100 students were strapped to our chairs and forced to look intuitively into our lives while answering hundreds of questions by filling in hundreds of bubbles for hours on end.Ok, so maybe it wasn’t that torturous.In fact, I secretly […]
The One with Diet Coke with Lime
I shall (not) grin and bear these few days of a real Michigan summer. I can’t believe it’s been so long since my last post.I’m not really sure why I got all lax on you guys, other than I was just feel lazy and lacking my usual wit.I don’t know.Wednesday evening prayer meeting was unusually […]
The One with the Blue Skies Smilin’ at Me
I went to another slumber party last night.Sort of.You see, yesterday’s weather was pretty much disgusting for my taste. and Kevin’s.It was very very hot. And even more humid.I believe we’ve been over my dislike of this weather.When nighttime had fallen and the house was still hot and sticky and lacking a cool breeze, we […]
The One with the Elephant Ears
It’s county fair week here. Apparently I was not aware that the county fair was such a big deal. I am not a big “fair person.” I don’t like livestock all that much. How safe can those rides really be?? You really shouldn’t eat an elephant ear before riding a fair ride. Not good. Why […]
Garlic Deviled Eggs
These deviled eggs are not for the faint of heart. I set about making this lovely little appetizer in hopes of making my husband very happy. He loves deviled eggs! I do too! However, I have never made them before (which is weird actually) and I wasn’t exactly sure what the protocol was for deviling […]
