Reading, Inspiration, and Recipes
I have to be honest with you …..Fennel is not one of my favorite herbs. Having never been a licorice fan, it is hard for me to separate when I smell fennel. Fennel has such a strong fragrant smell but…
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
It was Tracy’s birthday and I wanted to make her some cookies. Actually I think I had promised them sometime this past summer and never seemed to have the ingredients when I wanted them. So for her birthday last week…
A White Thanksgiving
Just a few shots of the snow we got this last week. Camera pretty much died during the trip, but wanted to show you how beautiful it was. Felt like we were in Vermont! Cheers!
Simplicity Dress 2483…..
These were the other dresses I made with just a few different styles. A touch of rick rack here, a bit of filly trim there! Just something to get some mileage out of that small remnant. Then I had one…
A New Green Casserole for Thanks.
For Thanksgiving this year I was bringing a hot veggie dish. I had hoped to find some really nice cauliflower but since I couldn’t I decided broccoli would have to suffice. I found this recipe on the blog “babble” The…
Frittata for a busy day
We all know how much I love to make quiche, but I was just short on time last week and thought a good Frittata would fit the bill. Boy, I felt like I hit the jackpot. This is so easy…
Simplicity 2469…..soooo cute.
I can’t tell you how fun this little ditty was to make!! I made about three of them. Two dresses, one top and matching pants! Yes, it was Fabmo samples which is why I could only get the dresses and…

Tea Tree Oil for October
What better way to finish a month of ghouls and gobblins then with an herb that is not edible?! Boo! And where on Earth did this month go? Once October enters the rest of the year is a landslide of…
September is Rosemary Essence
This month for our herb essence we have Rosemary. Back when I baked chicken, my Rosemary chicken was just a pure delight. It’s aromatic qualities are one of my favorite herbs on the planet. This needle type plant was originally…
More Magical Bars………!
Just as I had finished passing around those lovely magic bars to friends and family, I found another recipe from Can You Stay For Dinner Blog (http://canyoustayfordinner.com) and how she had added some wonderful oats, a smaller pan lined with…
White Peach and Blueberry Galette
Before the summer left us completely I was bound and determined to make my first Galette. They looked like a pie simplified. Or so I thought. Actually it was easier in many ways than a real pie, but I found…
Magic Cookie Bars……..mighty sweet!
I had one of those cans of sweetened condensed milk in my cupboard and wasn’t sure what to make with it. So oddly enough I had googled sweetened condensed milk but wasn’t seeing anything that rang my bell. Then on…
Koochie Ku’s
I had a delightful surprise at the Bellevue Arts Fair this year and can’t wait to share. Designer Melanie Anderson thrives on color and design!! And it shows in her creations. Her ADORABLE coats were a show stopper for me. …
Pacific Garbage Patch…….
[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLgh9h2ePYw] Here is a great little video circling You Tube that I just had to share. Finally Washington state is banning plastic bags. Although why the wait I always wonder. We are not close to 50 states yet. Hopefully by…
