It's Friday, friends, and the clock is ticking toward Christmas! This week, in addition to some major re-entry issues after NYC, I made our traditional Reindeer Food treat that we give to friends and neighbors during the holidays. I'm always on the hunt for cute containers to package it. These were all picked up on clearance after last Christmas. Do you spy the treat spread out on the counter behind while it hardens? This is the recipe … [Read more...]

Tasty Meatloaf Recipe (and a Fall Bazaar)
October 15, 2012 by · 8 Comments
Nothing says fall like comfort food and today I'm sharing a yummy meatloaf recipe... with a fun twist! A few weeks ago I was charged with making meatloaf for my church's Wednesday Night Dinner... enough to feed 25-30 people. In my home, my peeps like a SLAB of meatloaf. Not a wimpy slice. So how to figure out how many loaves to make since I'm not a good judge of how far meatloaf will go? ;-) Enter my cupcake pan. What better way … [Read more...]

It's my turn to cook lunch for the teachers at the preschool today and one of my tasks is dessert. I almost went to my faithful Texas Sheet Cake (yum!) but thought it would be fun to try an easy candy corn treat instead. I make a Christmas treat we call Reindeer Food that uses almond bark, pretzles, chex cereal or Cheerios, and red and green M&M's. I was wondering if I could do a variation of that with candy corn since we're lovers of … [Read more...]

Happy Friday and Happy Fall, y'all! For some reason this week seemed odd and off a bit to me... barometric pressure? the moon? onset of the autumnal equinox? Not sure, but we made it to the end-- woo hoo! If you've been a reader for a while, you know that my "day" job is a preschool teacher, which means I get to finger paint, sing, act silly, memorize Bible verses, teach phonics, and come up with all kinds of fun projects to keep my 4 year … [Read more...]

I confess: I've been in a funk since I dropped My Girl off at college last week. *Sigh* Thank goodness my teaching year gears up again on Monday to help me snap the heck out of this! For her "last supper" at home, My Girl requested this delish mac and cheese dish that came to me from my friend Harriet. Since you busy wives and moms are readying for back-to-school and football weekends (War Eagle! Go Dawgs!), I thought I'd share it with … [Read more...]
