Baking Queen

November 27, 2008 by Elaine

I felt like my mom yesterday. I baked and then I did a little baking and then well, I baked some more… I even popped a casserole in the oven for good measure. See, that’s pretty much what she does on the day before Thanksgiving – she cooks A LOT. I wore my apron (gosh,…

PhotoStory Friday – Little Turkey

November 21, 2008 by Elaine

Dessert Decision & Recipe

November 20, 2008 by Elaine

I just want to say a resounding “Thank You” to all of you who “voted” in my dessert post on Tuesday. The “winner” was the Pumpkin Chocolate Cheesecake, with you all anyway. But me, I’m goin’ for the cheesecake for a couple of reasons. 1. I am making most of the rest of the dinner…

Dessert Dilema

November 18, 2008 by Elaine

WW – Who Had All These Kids?

October 22, 2008 by Elaine

We had our Halloween party for our playgroup on Monday and somehow we got all but two of the kids (babies Christian and Claire who were in the house) to sit mostly still for a picture. And their darling Candy Corn t-shirts were made by friend Michelle as favors for her son Carter’s 2nd birthday…

This N’ That

October 3, 2008 by Elaine

Here we go with some randomness. Of course I like the weeks when my husband is home but there is one down side. He eats my Skinny Cow ice cream cones. And, when I don’t know that they are gone and…I have worked up my taste buds to have one later after the kids go…

Best Shot Monday, Etc.

July 7, 2008 by Elaine
