#1 – Spooky Cake My Way! I have to say that biting into crunchy chocolate bits and creamy pockets of sweetness of the Oreo cookies hidden in this cake, was a spooktacular experience! Even though Maida Heatter’s (Spooky) Oreo Bundt Cake sounded good, I didn’t have all the ingredients for it and I was in [...]

Doing the Tivo Tango
Posted in About me, Husbands, Recipes, tagged blog, food, pop culture, popcorn, television on October 27, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Every couple of nights my husband and I do the Tivo Tango. It is a well orchestrated dance that consists of fancy footwork, television, and our dog. There are certain evenings of the week were several of our favorite television shows are scheduled for the same time slot. My husband sets the Tivo (digital video [...]

#1 – Can You Guess Which Birthday My Husband Just Celebrated? Using paper punches and glue, I made this simple birthday card for my husband. I layered the hearts on top of the circles to create the symbol of five as they appear on dice. It’s an easy design that could be used with other [...]
Not Just Another Health Book

Tingling extremities, abdominal pain, and nausea were symptoms that stopped me in my tracks. The catch is, my husband was complaining of these symptoms, not me. He’s a relatively healthy guy, but he does have high cholesterol and glucose numbers that place him into the “almost” diabetic category. Listening to him describe these symptoms, the [...]

The winds and rain blew through midweek. It’s foggy outside right now, but still looking to be a beautiful weekend. Here’s this week’s edition of Friday’s Fresh Five. # 1 – A Market Tip From Bob (my dad, a former supermarket owner) Eggplants come in a variety of colors such as ivory, white, lavender, variegated [...]
Petite Pumpkins with Personality

Halloween is just a few weeks away, so it’s time to decorate in a big way with mini pumpkins. Mini pumpkins make adorable jack-o’-lanterns and, not to be discriminating, jill-o’-lanterns. Don’t let their petite size stifle your creativity. In lieu of carving, I use black paint pens and draw faces freehand directly onto the pumpkins. [...]
Quinoa & Shrimp Salad
Posted in Health, Recipes, tagged food, Health, quinoa on October 12, 2009 | 7 Comments »
Always on the lookout for healthy recipes, I found several interesting ones that use quinoa. Quinoa, which is pronounced KEEN-WAH, is a tiny Peruvian seed. Although it resembles couscous and can be served like rice, it is far more nutritious than either; quinoa is packed with all the essential amino acids. I saw this recipe [...]
