Tonight I am beat! I usually post a recipe on Tuesday nights but I thought it would be fun to see what I did on Saturday afternoon. I love peeps and have always wanted to set up dioramas with them. Top Girl and I put together the Peeps sign above, which took up about 1/4…

Easter Egg Truffles
Tuesday is my son-in-law’s birthday. He loves Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and since I had seen several versions on Pinterest lately, I thought I would make him some. This morning Chef Dennis Littley, who I follow on Google+, posted a recipe from Imperial Sugar that made the truffles look like Easter Eggs. I ALWAYS use…
Bunny Rolls – Only NOT!
I’m a little ticked off right now – a few weeks ago, I saw a picture of the cutest bunny rolls on Facebook with a link to the “original” post. I went to the blog and saw the pictures, quickly read the recipe and determined since I could make them I would pin it and…
Baked Chicken Nuggets
My Nana always said you cannot count on the weather until after Easter. Last Friday? 83 F degrees. This Friday? There is a chance of SNOW! I don’t have time for snow – I’ve got a conference to put on in 29 days which requires lots of driving and I do not drive in snow….
Cheep Chicks!
The weather here was in the 80’s Friday and Saturday – today? 40’s. I am not a big fan of winter so I am sooooooo ready for spring, aren’t you? I was reading a post at the Sweet Simple Stuff blog and thought it looked so easy – I could do it and herald…
Beer Cheese Soup with Meatballs
This is the closest I get to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day these days. Mr. Picky Eater “can’t stand” the smell of cabbage cooking so corned beef and cabbage is out. But this is a nice substitute even though the cheese if from Wisconsin, the Beer from Mexico and the “meatballs” are from Germany! Interestingly, even…
Mom’s Meatloaf Sandwich
My friend Pam over at Pa-Blam was tagged in a blogging world party game called 5 Things Meme. She was supposed to tell us 5 things about herself that you most likely don’t know and tag 5 more people. It made her so nervous to tag others, she just told us to consider ourselves tagged….
Breakfast Tarts
Yeah, I know that tarts are supposed to have pastry bases and mine has hash browns but you know, whatever……….if anyone wants me to confess, here it is: “tart” is not the “right” word, but sometimes I do the “wrong” thing or say the “wrong” thing and I often find pleasure in all its “wrongness”!…
The Elegant Hamburger
Sorry everyone, only plated pictures of this one. No tutorial because Rocket is here this evening and while I am cooking, he is usually in his high chair “helping” me. There’s no time for pictures when Rocket is in the room, unless they are of him – he loves to have his picture taken. The…
Deviled Eggs with a Kick
Today is very sunny, making me think of spring but it is windy and very cold reminding me it is still winter here. Basically that means a part of me wants to get outside and run, hop, skip, and jump or at least get outside and THINK about running, hopping, skipping, and jumping. The other…
