Creations, Wine Bottle Burlap Witch
Last week I posted about the burlap ghosts that Super Boy helped me create…. and you know how kids are, as soon as they finish one thing it’s on to the next! I was curious if he remembered that he wanted me to make a witch~ “What are you doing with ice cream cones, Gigi? … Continue reading
Take-out Tuesday, Travelin’ Casserole
I discovered something the other day that I can’t believe I had never tried before. Seriously. This is insanely genius! Use your slow cooker to cook chicken for casserole recipes! Uh oh. Are you rolling your eyes? As in, what a dummy, doesn’t she know this? When I need cooked chicken for a casserole I … Continue reading
Recipe Box, Salami Carbonara & Zucchini Red Onion Pizza
Here are the recipes from yesterdays “Early Fall, Italian Style” meal. Carbonara is one of those dishes you can just about always pull together with a few staples, pasta, eggs, cheese. It is traditionally made with bacon, but this version uses salami which makes it even easier. The “pizza” has a layer of tangy herb … Continue reading

Bottoms Up! How do you explain metaphor to a 5 year old? How do I explain that … Continue reading

Full of apples and pecans, it is pretty hard to resist anyway and with some melted caramels on the top, it is downright decadent. I adapted this recipe … Continue reading
Take-out Tuesday, Convenience Food Fix Up
I do have several frozen convenience foods that I turn to  when I’m tired or just plain lazy  in times of crisis. AND, I just found a new one!! I am a big fan of some of the Buitoni fresh pastas, and I use their light Alfredo Sauce, sparingly, in lots of dishes for … Continue reading
Creations, “FANtastic” Wreath
When I saw this red button and burlap ribbon at Hobby Lobby a month or so ago, I fell in love! I thought it was the cutest thing EVER, and because I’m cheap, I decided to be patient and wait for it to go on sale. HL puts their ribbon on sale at 50% off … Continue reading
