Friday I was watching The Chew – a show on ABC at noon weekdays. I saw the tail-end of a segment showing peppermint candy made into plates used as serving dishes at Christmas. Although I didn’t catch how to do it, I made a mental note to look it up on their website. Later that…

Mr. Picky Eater Decorated Today
When I got home from work today, my husband had decorated the house for me – what you don’t see is that behind that camera it looks like The Grapes of Wrath! Bless his heart, he got very messy while decorating. The only thing is that he could not find out stockings! So, we are…
Evil Skeevers (Aebleskivers)
My dad was Danish. For many years we drove to Janesville, Wisconsin at Christmastime to spend it with dad’s only living relatives, his cousins who had kids about my age. That was always fun for me because until I visited them, I had never seen a truck drive across a pond or lake, ridden on…

Strawberry Santa’s
A Facebook friend of mine from high school sent me a picture last week of little strawberry Santa’s and I just knew I had to make them. I searched the Internet for a tutorial or instructions and didn’t find too much. I honestly could only find 2 other posts with them and only one with…

There are many “leftovers” recipes floating around the web right now and some of them look delicious. I haven’t posted in over a week so I wanted my first post back to be spectacular! I chose my Nana’s favorite recipe to use……….I guess the holidays make me think of her a lot because she and…
Nana’s Banana Pudding
