What a perfectly fantastic day for garage sale shopping. (I would just write “garage saling” but “saling” just doesn’t seem proper. I’m pretty sure it’s not a word at all. But that’s the word I say when I’m going shopping at garage sales. Oh well.) I had checked out Craigslist all week to scope out possible sales. There […]
Homemade Pizza Tips
After last night’s impromptu mid-week pizza night (we’re rebels, I know!), I decided it was necessary to share to tips and tricks of the pizza making business. This is a learned skill, I am certain. If homemade pizza weren’t so incredible I would have given up after the first time I nearly destroyed the thing upon transfer or […]
The One with the College Graduation
I think by now you understand that the four years I spent at Spring Arbor University were some of the most formation and more memorable years of my life. People always told me that college were the best four years of their life. I wasn’t sure how that was possible. High school was awesome for […]
The One with the Surprises
Today I shared more of my grocery ways with the world. Check them out. And please feel free to ask any specific questions you’d like addressed. If I can help one or two people become more shopping savvy, I will be thrilled. I also wrote about French Bread. And Pappa al Pomodora. Mmm. Why three posts […]
Pappa al Pomodoro
This Tuscan bread and tomato soup is amazing. Perfect on a cold, rainy day like today. Made with common ingredients kept in my pantry, it was not difficult to through together and the final result had my husband saying he’d marry me all over again. :) I found this recipe on Annie’s Eats, and she […]
French Bread
With a bread machine on hand, this loaf of French bread couldn’t be any more perfect. Unbelievably soft on the inside. Perfectly crisp on the outside. You can’t beat it. For large (1 1/2 pound) loaf Ingredients 1 cup plus 2 Tbsp water 2 tsp margarine or butter, softened 3 1/4 cups flour 1 Tbsp […]
Weekly Shopping: May 10th
As previously promised I am sharing my weekly grocery shopping experience with you lovely folk. I typically check Meijer’s sale ads first. If the sale items aren’t what I’m in need of, then I just pass on that stop for the week. (Note, Meijer’s sales are great! but their regular prices can easily be […]
The One with Mes Meres*
Yesterday was a national holiday celebrating MOMS! How awesome is that?! A day set aside to appreciate our moms the way we should ALL year long! I think most people claim they have the best mom. But I think I win this little competition. My mom has always been an irreplaceable part of my life. And […]
The One with the Garage Sale Tips
edited to add: Check out this awesome site: Yard Sale Treasure Map. Garage Sales. I’ve always loved them. Mom used to take me garage sale shopping with her all the time. We hosted a garage sale or two as well. But those aren’t nearly as fun. Seeing how Friday and Saturday are just around the […]
The One with a Walk with my Red Headed Canadian
I think we’ve established that I have amazing friends. One of those friends turned 24 this week. Brittney, my Brittney. She was there for me on day 1. When I first met this bubbly, red-headed, Canadian I had not the faintest idea of the friendship that would emerge. Brittney and I met on Freshman […]
