Hello everyone! I know it’s been a while. I’ve been trying to get on a schedule since the kids moved in but so far it’s not working out very well! I am sure I will get used to all the activity soon – in the meantime, do you remember last Valentine’s Day when I tried…

Oklahoma Women Bloggers Thrift Challenge
For those of you, who are used to a recipe from me, know every so often I post something I have repurposed – and when I say “I”, I mean I buy and have the idea and Mr. Picky Eater executes the design. This one is pretty impressive and it’s all due to MPE’s talent!…
Rice Krispie Candy
I found this recipe on the Imperial Sugar site and knew I wanted to try these. They were made for Imperial Sugar by the blogger at Fields of Cake. The recipe is easy and the taste is deee-licious! I changed it just a little by adding my own idea of what good toppings would be…
Easy Pillsbury Funfetti Halloween Doll Cake
Boy has it been a wild few days but I worked this cake in so if you wanted, you could too and get it done before Halloween. When I was 6-years-old my parents gave me a Barbie cake and even though I was not a big Barbie doll player, I loved that cake and always…

I made a bunch of cupcakes today and given that it is Halloween, I wanted to make them festive without spending all day in the kitchen. I used a cake mix and canned icing with a few extras and I think they came out pretty well! The first one – show at the top of…
Rocket the Dragon
Rocket was born on the Day of the Dragon, during the Week of the Dragon, in the Month of the Dragon, this year – which is the Year of the Dragon. In certain Asian cultures (which Rocket is, although you can’t really tell) he is a very lucky boy! Is that why he is a…
Halloween Bread Bowls
Aren’t these great? I have Rootin’ Tootin 2 Day chili in these but every year we put something – chili, homemade soup, cheese fondue, stew, just whatever you can think up (chocolate fondue or pudding would be fantastic!) in them. They are so easy and if you are having a Halloween party for kids or…
