real moms {sharing} all things fabulous
I can’t think of anything more pleasant than the smell of freshly baked bread. Well maybe eating the bread smothered in real butter is slightly (or way more!) pleasant.I have been working on bread recipes for what seems like years. It really has only been a couple. But in bread making…oh the finicky-ness of it!…
Ok, so we have “real foodified” the sugar cookies – now lets dress them up!I’m gonna make a quick note here. In our house cookies and treats like this are called “occasional treats” – because that is what they should be. I’m not trying to glorify icing or powdered sugar, or cookies for that matter….
One of my favorite memories growing up during Christmas time was sugar cookie making and decorating!I knew I wanted to start this tradition with my kids, but with everything I knew about food colorings like red 40 and yellow 5, processed flours and sugars, and junk oils, I just knew I was going to have…
I’m hoping by posting this early enough that you will be able to put this on the menu a couple times this holiday season!Traditionally, wassail was made in England after the apple harvests were done. It was a way to commemorate their apple trees in hopes of a good harvest the following year. I have…
I saw the idea of a “stuffed pepper soup” somewhere on Pinterest last year and played around with it enough last winter to figure out how we like it 🙂I really liked the idea since making actual stuffed peppers is kind of fussy. You are going to love how easy this is. It just needs…
There’s nothing quite like walking in to storytime with your perfectly healthy kids to a room full of green snot noses, sneezing, and hacking little tots. Seriously?! Well there is no turning around to go back home because the girls are super excited about story and craft time. And to be honest I’m not afraid…
This is such a delicious recipe for those beef roast leftovers! Most of the time when I’m picking out a chuck roast, I try to go for the biggest one that I can find with bone in, so I can have leftovers enough to make this recipe 🙂 This is actually a spin off on…
Have you had your fill yet?! You know…the turkey. I happen to adore turkey, but after a day or so of the same meal for lunch *and* dinner…well, the turkey that is left has turned a bit dry, and I start running out of all of those tasty side dishes! I typically save a portion…
This is such a great time of year to flip the oven on and create rich sautés, and creamy dreamy casseroles. I think I grew up in an area pretty rich in heritage for making good old fashioned casseroles. A few years ago I started trying to make my own cream of chicken soup after…
I know, I know…you probably already have your Thanksgiving meal plans made. I’m a little late to the punch on this post…but I just had to try – in case there were any of you out there still planning on that freezer store bought pumpkin pie for the “perfect” end to your feast Thursday. Can…
Did ya’ll grow up thinking that whipped cream was that fluffy white stuff that came out of the blue container from the freezer section at the grocery store like I did?! Have you ever taken a peek at the ingredients on those? I’m not being facetious – I really never paid attention to that kind…
I’m gonna cut right to the chase. These scones are HEAVEN 🙂 Well, not really. But close! I have been playing around with “scone” recipes for a year – not kidding. I’m not even the right nationality to be a scone expert, but I just love the idea of them! Little dunk in the coffee…
