Today I’m super excited about our guest post from Dianne over at Baking 4 Six. She’s going to rock our crocks with some brownies! True love happened when crock pots met brownies. I love a good love story. |
How cute are these?? Typically brownies are baked in squares & rectangles. However, not only does making brownies in a slow-cooker result in circle or oval shaped brownies, but it also allows brownies to be made year-round in those areas when it’s just too hot to turn on the oven during certain times of the year. Plus you and your loved ones can come home to a freshly made treat after a long day away from home. [Read more…] |

Kefir Cottage Cheese
I have this genius friend (actually, I have several) and her name is Carrie. If I want to know something about nature or herbs, I ask Carrie. She’s a wealth of information. She used to work with my dad and now she’s retired….which excites me because it means she has more time to answer all my questions. Carrie uses kefir and she sent me her recipe for homemade kefir cottage cheese. I was STOKED! (Do people still say stoked?) I love cottage cheese – but Barry and Annie are not fans. Tons of my recipes call for cottage cheese…..and both of them will eat it if it’s IN something. Pansies. I love knowing I can make things with my kefir instead of buying it at the store. So, come along with me and see how easy it is to make your own cottage cheese. Thanks Carrie! [Read more…] |

So, for my 30th birthday, Barry took me, Annie, and my mom to Nashville to celebrate. [Read more…] |
Kitchen Tip Tuesday (11/1/11)
Have you seen those casserole carriers from Pyrex that have the heating pad in there to keep your food hot? I got one of those when I got married. I’m not ashamed to tell you that the very first time I tried to warm it in the microwave, I melted it. Sometimes it pays to read the directions. When I’m at a potluck, I always feel let down when the deliciousness on my plate turns out to be cold. What a total let down. So, that’s why I like to tote my warm potluck dishes in something that will insure they stay hot. [Read more…] |
