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…

Let’s learn how to jazz up your Rice-A-Roni three ways.

I can now understand why we had so many pre-made food…

May 27, 2012 by Amanda R DeWitt

Hello Friends!  It’s a Girl! (No friends, I’m not pregnant.)
