Ok, I HAVE to share this with all of you. I ran across this ‘idea’ on Yardsellr.com and since I had never seen it before, figured I had better google it. Here is another gal’s blog where she gives step by step instructions on how to make this. Cakes in a Jar    I am thinking… Continue reading Cake in a Jar!?

My grandmothers seemed to keep everything and threw away nothing – or very little.  Amazingly, they did well at it and their homes never looked cluttered or messy. Mine however, looks like a flea market gone wild. In the kitchen they would save food scraps for the chickens and family dog. The egg shells, banana… Continue reading Fall Clean-Up and Shedding Unwanted Items

Okay, so it’s been a few years since I have worked with Zucchini and I had forgotten that this is one veggie that goes a LONG way. In preparation for the next blog entry I shredded all three of my Zucchini that I had. I was thinking that for this recipe, I would need all… Continue reading I Have Zucchini Running Out of My Ears!

Yesterday I was sitting here on the couch researching things for future blogs when I noticed this little bird trying to see through my storm door. I grabbed up the camera and attempted to get a good shot of him/her while they flitted around my hummingbird feeders and the lilac bush. I had noticed that… Continue reading Hummingbirds – what dainty little creatures

I have been thinking of ways to de-clutter my space. There are the usual routes of spending hours going through my stuff and either bagging/boxing it up and sending to to the Goodwill or to some other charitable organization for a tax deduction (which I rarely take). Then I found out about a few places… Continue reading De-Cluttering Your Space and a Virtual Garage Sale?

Just so you know, I will be adding more recipes in the cookies, cakes, and pies sections in the coming days. These sections are no where near complete and since I took 2 days off to cook up some goodies for you all to try, I am having to play catch-up. If you missed them,… Continue reading New Recipes – Well, Old Ones Being Added!

My grandma Demorest loved to sing. Growing up, I remember weekends, summer breaks, and holiday breaks spent at her house – probably to give my parents a break from the “only child” syndrome I seemed to be afflicted with! On any given morning you might hear a rooster crow or the dog barking at something,… Continue reading Sweet Music to my Ears and Cold Salad
