grilled peach and avocado salad recipe

Thank you for bearing with me the last few days.  Between the craziness over at The Creative Mama, (good crazy, the Creative Photographer Series has been fabulous this year!), and my website going down, it has been a crazy week.  Thankfully, everything worked out, and as you can see, I am back in business.  Not without some little glitches here and there, damage to my nerves, and having to cut ties with my long time hosting company.  I learned a thing or two about customer service that is … [Read more...]

strawberry spoon jam recipe

My husband is gifted in many ways.  But the two that come to mind most often are 1. his ability to imitate almost anyone after hearing them speak just once (it truly is incredible), and 2. his ability to schmooze customer service agents.  He has the "aww shucks, ma'am, if you could just help a guy out" routine down pat.  He can talk his way into or out of just about anything.  We have been in our house for a little over a week, and wouldn't you know it, when the cable company turned on our … [Read more...]

Also, you guys sure do like your spring desserts!  Looks like I am going to have to add some rhubarb recipes to the site! Yesterday was my baby's 3rd birthday.  It was a trifle traumatic for me.  I no longer have a baby in my house.  I … [Read more...]

frozen chocolate covered banana recipe

Nothing says summer like a frozen treat.  Kids running around the pool with Drumsticks and Otter Pops.  I have nothing against an Otter Pop, well, maybe a little.  But this a fun, homemade, treat that you can whip up in no time.  Yes, I am aware that this a banana covered in chocolate, but at least it is fruit.  It verges on healthy?  Chocolate is good for you right?  In moderation?  It is fun to make, and definitely something that the kids can help you do and will love to help with.  … [Read more...]

berry popsicle recipe

It sure is hot around these parts.  We had such a mild beginning to our summer and then, BAM!  100+ degrees for days at a time.  The kind of heat that makes you want to sit around in your pj's in your cool house and do nothing but read books and eat popsicles all day.  I am okay with that, are you? These two little people seem to be as well. They think that these berry popsicles are pretty delicious.  I would bet that other people would too.  Would you like to know how we made … [Read more...]
