Damn Delicious: General Tso's Chicken →
Mmmmm…mmmmm…GOOD!
I love making Chinese food at home. It’s so much cheaper and healthier than take-out, and sometimes, it’s even faster to make it right in your own kitchen. Now I’ve made Lighter General Tso’s Chicken before but I wanted to make a legit version this time around. This version has much more of…

Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe
This meal is a staple in my household, a weekly dish and one of my husband’s favourites. We usually have it with a side of garlic bread and a glass of red wine. This particular recipe below is not mine but very similar. I don’t use bacon because my husband is not a pork lover, nor do I use the mushrooms but I do add a teaspoon of nutmeg and honey and that gives it a little...

peegaw:
I know I ought to be posting up ways to revamp Thanksgiving leftovers right about now but since I don’t celebrate it (thus having no pieces of turkey or a boatful of cranberry sauce to experiment with), I figured a recipe for a gingery drink might not be too bad around this time of year. I…

Christmas Baking is Back!!!!
It’s almost that time of year again and I’m pumped about the boxes of baked goods I do every year for friends and family. This year I’ll be taking out a few items, keeping the ones that “hit it for 6”, and adding a few new items like my Double Vanilla Cupcakes, Carrot Cupcakes and Chocolate Fudge Brownie Cupcakes. A few people are requesting the Banana Almond...

Healthy Baking 101
Although I love to cook, when it comes to baking I’m something of an amateur. Growing up my parents always kept a kitchen stocked with healthy options, and if I whipped up a sheet of cookies for no reason they often went uneaten (except by me). As I got older and more health conscious, I realized that I probably shouldn’t be devouring these cookies either. So, in an effort...

Walk by Faith by Charles R. Swindoll Read Genesis 45:10—15 If you’re under the impression that you are going to be great because of some accomplishment you’ve achieved but harbor wrong attitudes, you’re in for a terrible jolt. Greatness comes in the sweet-spirit attitudes of humility and forgiveness toward others. Joseph sets before us a magnanimous example. How...

Out and about w/ My Farmer boy!
What a great morning! Well, really and truly i am not a morning person, especially 5 am mornings, but once I’m up and moving, I’m alot more pleasant to be around.
It’s always amazing to see how the state of our economy forces us to be creative in finding other sources of income. You have to be, or else you’ll sit around sulking about how miserable everything is, or how you’re not able to find...

Perceptions
I got this short story as a FWD in my inbox, and Lord knows I despise those things “You’ll be blessed today with….I don’t know, money, but send this to 12 people first”, I absolutely hate that stuff! So, I almost flipped past this one, but some how I chose to read it and it was really worth it. If you have the time, please read.

{ ricotta pancakes and maple syrup apples }
We are planning to have a relaxing weekend with some Tuscan cookbooks getting ready for our trip to Italy next week. Weekend is also the time to enjoy a long and lazy breakfast. We have adapted Mr. B’s American pancake breakfast tradition into our Sunday morning routine. It’s easy to make them fit every season. This recipe for fluffy...
