We all eat every day (well, hopefully).  We also seem to have an obsession with knowing what’s going on in other people’s lives.  (See Facebook, Twitter, blogs and reality shows.) It’s also quite revealing to…

Carrot Muffin Cakes

June 25, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends! I made these lovely muffin cakes for Father’s Day. Actually the day after Father’s Day…because things didn’t quite go as I had expected. I had planned on picking up lunch for the Daddio with the BF, but BF’s dad was unexpectedly in town so of course BF wanted to spend the day with…

ricearoni with broccoli

Let’s learn how to jazz up your Rice-A-Roni three ways. Growing up, we had a lot of food from boxes or packages.   Pretty much the only thing we made from scratch was my mom’s famous chocolate chip cookies (a family secret), pancakes, and biscuits. I can now understand why we had so many pre-made food…
