It's been years since I've had an ice cream sandwich. It's not the most gourmet of ice cream treats, but does it really have to be? Considering it's been wicked hot and isn't even July yet, I think this is the perfect time for these. I love them and miss eating them. I can make [...]
I have the last of the peaches to use up. I thought I would do a classic peach pie, but in bar form to make my life easier. It's been busy. More floor is being laid and I have grouting to do. We are getting close to having all of the floors done. We have [...]
I managed to get a few floors in our new house done during my time off. I'm pleased with the results. If you ever have to lay tile floors, Spin Doctor Tile Leveling System is the way to go (link not sponsored). We don't know what we ever did before these. It made tiling a [...]
Now that I'm back from the conference, I'm worn out. I have a week's worth of work on the house I need to do. I'll be handling this over the next week while I'm on vacation. Maybe after both houses are done and one sold, I can have real vacation. Maybe soon. Oh well. This [...]
I have had a reprieve from working on the house for a couple of weeks. I have more flooring to put down, but I can't do that until Tony is done with the tile work. Good news, we will have a working toilet on both floors by the end of this weekend. That doesn't sound [...]
The Millionaire Shortbread was a huge hit. I'm always amazed at how some recipe can come out so well. However, those took some time to make. The recipe for this week from Southern Living for Brown Butter-Maple-Pecan Blondies, not so much. The longest step is cooling the browned butter. This recipe also works well with [...]
I got the floor laid. I managed to finish without busting up any more of my fingers. If you can afford not do, don't buy the Home Depot Trafficmaster laminate flooring. It's not worth the headache to install. Tony gets the easy flooring (the stuff that costs $2.39 a square foot versus 49 cents a [...]
Things are ramping up around here in terms of our new house. I get to spend two days off working on laying flooring that Tony hasn't been able to do. To be fair, very few people can lay the Trafficmaster laminate floor from Home Depot. It doesn't like to click together and it's kinda flimsy. [...]
I have plenty of desserts right now. Making another batch of something would be overkill. I thought it would be good to do a single serving recipe. When you want something quick. I searched high and low for a recipe. Something besides the same brownie in a mug or yellow or chocolate cake in a [...]
I found this recipe as I was browsing through news articles. I stopped because of the recipe and stayed because of the great story behind it. Melissa Vickers came up with this recipe to help her grandfather satisfy his sweet tooth as well as get him to eat something healthier. Looking at the original recipe [...]
