I sometimes wonder about myself at work. I have all these random notes just laying around and some of them I don’t know what they mean, while others I get. I have a few from my sweetie that say I love you, your PC or I love you with all my heart Your PC. I…
So after yesterday’s debacle, I told you about… I was going to make a from-scratch cake. The recipe I had called for 1 1/2 sticks of butter at room temperature. I let 2 sticks come to room temp, took them out of the package and threw them in the mixer, and that’s when I noticed…
As you may or may not know, I have a {step}daughter. Having a stepchild is a bit of a challenge {just because she isn’t there every day}, but so far she and I have a good relationship. It may change someday, I hope not, but at this point, who knows. Last Friday my {step}daughter’s school…
Do you ever just have days, you almost wish, you hadn’t gotten out of bed? A few weekends ago we were going to throw my father-in-law a retirement party. My mom, bless her heart, volunteered to do our portion of the food, but a few years ago I took cake decorating classes and I actually…
Do you remember as a kid how we always wanted to “grow up”? Wanted to be big. Wanted to be strong. Wanted to be on our own. Yeah I’m thinking I want to be a kid again. Let mom and dad deal with the problems of the world and I’ll be oblivious! I want my…

I’m fairly certain I knew what smoked sausage tasted like, but I’m not going to lie, I’ve never bought it. Usually it was at a potluck when someone brought cheese, crackers and smoked sausage. So back when we did the Poulet Tchoupitoulas and I was wandering around the store, I had the hardest time finding…
I don’t know about you but I love good Garlic bread… add cheese and I’m sold! There are some great varieties you can get in the frozen foods section at the grocery store, but what happens when you are at home, making dinner, don’t realize you want it, until you don’t have it? Never fear!…
A few weeks ago I went to Atwoods and they have their bulk candy bin. Yes, who knew a farm store would have bulk candy? Well, I did :). Anyway, I bought individually wrapped caramels. I saw this recipe in the new PW cookbook and wanted to try it, plus she had it on her…
So remember a while back when I told you how to flatten a chicken? I told you to keep the bones, they’d be great for making Chicken Stock. Well the time has come… I actually put them in the freezer because it was late that night and I didn’t have time to really do anything…
