Today is the close of 2012 and with the New Year all the hopes and wishes of doing things a wee bit better than the previous year. Today, no reflective post, no top 10 of 2012 anything. Just wishing you all the bestest and sharing a crazy sweet lil’ post for you. Crazy good, crazy, […]
Not a one, not a single Christmas treat have I posted. This year my men are on these high protein low carb diets. McGyver for health reasons and the Baby boy because of Rugby (strict orders from his coach). I decided not to bake cookies or anything too tempting, gotta show my support (and I […]
I have a self imposed rule in my house, no Christmas anything until after Thanksgiving. One holiday at a time please. There is good and bad in my rule, less stress before Thanksgiving and probable more stress afterwards since I don’t do anything early…normally. When I got my Secret Recipe Club assignment “Mom’s Crazy Cooking”, […]

No, you’re eyes aren’t deceiving you. It’s a cupcake. See I told you, just because I’m on Weight Watchers doesn’t mean I’m going to turn into a tofu eating, kale munching health freak. Actually the whole cupcake thing was NOT planned. I realized on Saturday that I had to make a dessert for the Golden […]
How about an apple stuffed with peanut butter and a caramel, coated in cinnamon sugar neatly packaged in pie crust?
That’s it folks, Christmas is really over and now you have leftover candy canes, what to do? Here are some ideas I found on the internet: Candy Cane Martini (from my daughter at Leftovers for Lunch) Chocolate-Candy Cane Cupcakes Candy Cane Cooler Candy Cane Macarons Candy Cane Fudge Candy Cane Cake Chocolate Candy Cane Cookies […]
